[Space pod mining]

I should mention that the mechanic is meant to be making pods for the crew. The fact there is mining equipment for pods doesn't mean that the mechanic is meant to do mining.

That said though, allowing the mechanic to create mining equipment from metal and glass seems fair, as i can't imagine it'd outperform a ripley or a KA too much.

Basic mining lasers no.. but the mining lasers yes, and the upgraded mining laser can strip that asteroid. However the R&D requirements for any of those means it's pointless to make a mining pod by the time it's researched.

Mechanic has access to the Orm and a notification board yelling them when new minerals arrive. Get there first. You are just as entitled to the Ore as science is. So is the bartender.

[Some pAI suggestions from a new player!]

It's all good. Keep the suggestions coming!

[Some pAI suggestions from a new player!]

Borgs and drones have laws they have to follow.

 

Also I can guarantee any sort of stun or shock is a no go.

[Fastmos: Too Fast? Too Slow? Just Right?]

Object throwing is quite ridiculus at the moment. A glass shard shouldn't hit and kill you 20 times in 1 second.

[Would you like to know more]

What went through Dreamy's head when her geneticist polymorphed into a Vulpkanin version of her?

[Slime rework to TG Slimes]

Sorry Lassh, but no thanks.

[Giving vampires some much needed love]

Reduce the cost to Enthrall. 300 is ridiculus.

[Standard Operating Procedure Update]

Well, that's what I mean though Tully... I mean, you look at geneticists not following SoP, and 9/10 times they're not punished for it, let alone told about it. No enforcement or mention of guidelines would kind've make it redundant to have lines in it right? Genetics is the one's supposed to be manning the cloning, that never happens, no one ever does anything about it, so does it need to be in the SoP at that point?

[Standard Operating Procedure Update]

One thing that I generally notice...

 

Geneticists never follow their SoP.

 

Actually, most engineers don't either. They'll just grab their tools, a hardsuit, and go start on random crap.

[Naming Rules Discussion]

At the end of the day it all comes down to admin discretion, who reserve the right to make you change your name.

Like I said, it's the glaringly obvious ones that are the issue. An abstract unknown will rarely become an issue until it starts being an issue.

 

The nail that sticks out gets hammered.

 

 

Also, brb writing a paradise fan fiction with everyone's character names.

 

[Naming Rules Discussion]

Yes, we're talking crew that is registered on the crew manifest with a Job not relating to clown or mime.

[Naming Rules Discussion]

 

I think that if it's glaringly obvious it shouldn't be allowed for your standard crew member names.

 

Mimes and Clowns being the exception, as well as AI, Borgs, and pAIs.

 

[Discussion topic for the new rules:]

 

Common sense is to be used with all default Lawsets – they have been installed by NT for the protection of the station and their interests. Rules Lawyering Lawsets in order to antagonize the crew is not allowed;

 

In this con text are we talking about antagging in the same regards as the "antags" of the rounds?

 

Also, the lawsets use ridiculously broad terminology for the reason of them being interpretated differently.

 

Look at Robocop for example. "Serve the Public Trust" makes no sense as Public Trust is a term used for democractically elected officials regarding corruption, and "Uphold the Law" is very very broad for a machine that has multiple instances of "The Law" being thrown around such as AI Laws, A sec borg using *law, beepsky saying I am The Law, and the warden SWAT mask saying "I am the Law".

 

Open interpretation and "rule lawyering" is literally apart of the role as a lawset bound synthetic.

 

Also,

 

When performing duties as a Cyborg, you are to follow the same guidelines as the organic crewmembers charged with those tasks, unless your Laws state otherwise;

 

By guidelines are you talking Standards of Procedures? Space Law?

 

AI and Cyborg were always set up to OOCLY follow server rules, followed ICLY by the Lawset, and finally for Cyborgs the AI they are slaved to, in that order.

 

AI and cyborgs are station equipment, not crew. Why would they follow crewmember Standards of Procedures? That's what the lawset is for.

 

[Get rid of Karma for Races]

 

Karma is not intended to balance races at all. It's meant moreso to make the races rarer (Which, with the inflation since it was brought in, could possibly stand to be tweaked). A lot of the karma races would also be quite confusing for newer players - IPC and Vox are good examples there, a new player could easily kill themselves as a vox with a wrong click.

 

 

What, don't want to see an influx of new players take off their plasmamen suits?

 

[Gift of the Free man. (Scientist specific traitor item)]

Just going to state.. scientist only antag item? I'm pretty sure science doesn't need more ways to Powe game than they already have.
