Plotron Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 That's brilliant, but how does sound propagation work in code? Walls block sound, but they also block the line of sight. If the sound travels based on the line of sight and the medium (vacuum), how would you add that glass? Alternatively, you could simply have an awkward whisper meeting...

Nakhi Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 What I think would be cool is if we had Bay's 'electrochromatic glass'. It's in a few heads offices, and basically you press a button and it turns the blue reinforced into tinted black windows you can't see into. Not quite the same as what you're proposing, but a fair slight cooler than shutters. Maybe not exactly what was in mind, but something I recalled that was interesting. Almost anything would be better than being able to awkwardly stand on the other side of two reinforced windows, a grille, behind an airlock, and still be able to hear the conversation up front. While I understand the utility, and the fact it's basically an SS13 staple and fact of the game, it feels a bit... off.

Arenn Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Maaaaybe look at throwing a bone at plasma glass? There is currently absolutely nowhere it is used that I know of, nor does it have a mechanic to make it a want for the crew, other than design-a-room projects.

Arenn Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 B-But I like the idea. And again, I'd like to see a practical use for plasma glass. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/6286-soundproof-glass/#findComment-49927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
