Tauka Usanake Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Can we please stop allowing crew to board the station when evacuation is underway? I mean not only is it unrealistic but they don't get to do anything except maybe graytide for ten minutes. Thirteen at best. I'd also argue that during a blob eating the station arrivals also be closed off but that's a different subject. Sure you have that prompt that says evacuation is happening but wouldn't you still think they shouldn't join? Just observe, watch the round end Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/5677-joining-an-abandoned-station/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemanspark Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 To be blunt; It's not really a big deal. The round is ending soon, if they wanna slip in for about five minutes or whatever then let them do it. "Realism" isn't a very good argument for things.

NTSAM Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I for one hand love trying to make a mad dash to the shuttle or pods, it's kinda like a fun minigame.

Plotron Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 You're told in the late joining screen when the station's undergoing evacuation. I wouldn't forbid people from joining.

ExGame Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 You also gotta take the false-calls into consideration. That means that the shuttle gets called for some bullshit reason/reason which command will regret/antag call and then it gets recalled 4 minutes later.

Fox McCloud Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 You also gotta take the false-calls into consideration.That means that the shuttle gets called for some bullshit reason/reason which command will regret/antag call and then it gets recalled 4 minutes later. This. Also, It would be really frustrating to not be able to join a round for a whopping 18 minutes (evac+boarding+transit+end of round+the next round) because of the shuttle being called. Yes, there's not a ton to do during 16 of those 18 minutes, but being able to walk around and talk with people is better than staring at a screen.

mikecari Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Yeah, honestly there's no need to change how it is. I'm pretty sure the NanoTrasen shuttles are auto-pilot anyway so they probably can't stop once they lift off, so it makes sense that you'd still arrive even while evacuation is underway. Also realism never takes priority over gameplay, golden rule of vidya games.

Earthdivine Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 That's also not to mention the game WILL tell you when the station is Evacuating, so it's entirely up to them if they join in or not.
