    I agree that science is can be too powerful, but let us not forget that lore wise, the station focuses on science. I agree with taking out mining ability for science, because as pointed out, it can easily make cargo null and void.

     

    That being said, even if some of the science department was shunted down into the outpost, it could be more balanced. Xenobio realistically shouldn't be able to breed potentially violent monsters on the station when a perfectly viable option is much safer. Same with toxins and science chem. E.X.P.E.R.I.-Mentor could also probably use a reworking/buff. It is useless unless you want machines that go pop and produce junk and/or corgis.

    If we want to be technical here, Lamar is the Science Mascot, and EN is the Robotics one. Lamar does just fine in his display case of solitude, and we have already determined EN is a jerk who needs to die and go away fine. No monkeys.

    The title really says it all.

     

    The logic here is that the Brig Physician is specially for the brig, but isn't a required job. They also usually don't see a ton of action. While the suggested position here isn't also a required job, Miners are far more likely to get injured badly, and having a doctor on hand who will actually respond to calls for help would be helpful. Not sure what kind of perks you can give them, but I also assume it wouldn't need to be a karma position.

    The only change I would make is that Minor Crime offenses are counted as repeat offenses no matter which Minor Crime they committed before. Otherwise I guarantee we'll see players who commit vandalism, serve 5 minutes, then get out and commit public indecency, serve 5 minutes, get out and commit possession/distribution of drugs, etc., etc. just to tie up security and start complaining when Sec tries to increase their sentence because, "It's not the same crime!".

     

    I agree with Kero here, but I think it should also apply to medium crimes too. Realistically, if i was to rob a store IRL, then go streaking, then beat someone up, I would be considered a repeat offender, even if the crimes weren't all the same.

     

    No, I have not done these, but it is an example.

    Oh, see, I see the security thing more often. Especially if they are going for the HoS locker for the gun that THEY NEVER KEEP IN THERE.

     

    I think the doors would cost one, while lockers two, consoles 3, cyborgs 3 (for a complete emagging), just that kind of thing. Importants 3, semi important/special 2 and regular/common 1

    ... than participate in a game mode where all the departments are separated off for no rational reason at all...

     

     

    NanoTrasen lost funding.

     

    Medical is one of those "can truly be neutral" departments in nations. The first time we ran the new nations code, Jonah/Tully and myself managed to prevent medical from going solo, and declared it neutral, and fighting had to stay outside. We had threatened to slip people out the door if they refused to obey our one rule.

     

    Oddly enough, that was the round where we overthrew the old CMO because they wanted to go break Space Geneva and voted Jonah to the CMO/PR person.

    it would encourage more sporadic use, as opposed to those traitor rounds where all of engineering is emagged open every five minutes for lulz

     

    You mean security, with lockers busted open, right? Cue greytide/syndi with stun gear AND syndi gear.

     

    I really, truly do like the idea we have going on. That being said, it even says in the suggestions rules/reminders that not everything is meant to be balanced. I think this is more viable, and requires more tact than Ermergerg, Emag everything!

    This is true, command all access is OP against the borgs that are supposed to be the peacekeepers/UN.

     

    But note that Robotics and RD can do this too.

     

    In general, I prefer this new version of nations over the CTF one, mainly because I easily grew tired of the fact that Engi, Science and Sec murderboned because they had the cool toys, while the other departments could really only cry trying to stay alive.
