So gas masks obfuscating vision?
Sounds fine with me. I mean I have to wear a gas mask frequently IRL due to my job and I can tell you... its not a pleasant experience at all. While its not making you nearly blind it severly reduces your perception you have. Its like you have a much more narrow field of view. And the harder it is for you to breath when wearing one the harder it is for you to see. Also... lets talk about filters... IRL gas masks have filters... some filters are even highly specialized for certain envirements. For instance there are filters for biological hazards and filters for corrosives (Acid and Base Vapors, Mustard Gas etc). And then there are filters for toxins (Sarin, Tabun, HCN, HF (which is also fairly corrosive)). Heck we even have a specialized filter for Mercury compounds...
Anyways depending what filter you use you either have less trouble breathing through the mask or more. The filters for neurotoxins for instance are in particular very nasty and hard to breath through. So if possible we could make the vision you loose when wearing a mask depending on the filter catridge being used (I think thats called sensory dulling). Also you would need to swap catridges depending on the situation. That means in terms that breath masks wont protect you (fully) from vapors, giving people a reason to put on a mask if a threat is there. Also Traitors (or shitters) could remove the filter catridge to only loose a little bit of their vision and insert it when its required.
One last thing I experience personally whenever wearing a mask, some other people do too... when you wear one your hearing sense is impaired aswell in some way, probably has to do with the fact that your most important senses (vision and smelling) are severly hindered. Some people turn deafer when wearing a mask, some people get very sensitive to sounds. Really depends on the person.

I just like to say... the maint we got now is beautifull. The old one we had was nice too but the one we have now is much wider and better. Also contains a fox plushie.

Compliment:
After rolling 3 times Antag in a row of which I was double antag one time (Lingtator) he "removed" my Antag status after I asked him to do that and changed the objective to "Dont bring it a third time". I was very amused by that.

Probably a redundant question but still gonna ask... is that thread for over descriptive flavor texts? If so and its ok to do that I got some too

While a bit more complicated mechanics in the chemistry system would be nice I would like to say that making it too realistic might put off people from it. I am a chemist in real life and I must say... if the chemistry system on our server would be anymore realistic so that I need to purify my products and remove solvents... maybe analyze it via different methods (Mass Spectroscopy/Mass Spectrometry (whatever the english term for that i, seen both describing the same) and NMR for instants) to see if I even got the damn product I desire... I would not be using it as much as I do now. As for now some ratios are off which could be adjusted (Thermite comes to mind... Yeah its ingame as 1/1/1 Iron/Aluminum/Oxygen, but Iron(III)oxide is Fe2O3 so... something doesnt fit with the oxygen ratio in there just as a hint).
Also the poor Medchems... their lab is so damn tiny...
"Realistic Chemistry" often means tedium. Work some people might not want to put into it. However I am all down for altering the ratios and adding more intermediate products with different uses and applications. Come on we got Aceton and we cannot use it as a cleaner alternative? Diethylamine is highly combustable yet it is not nearly as combustable ingame and its really bad for your eyes if you get vapors of it directly into them... Also not every person can stand the smell of it, I had people already throw up because of its filthy smell...
Anyways getting carried away I guess... I would really like to see a more sophisticated Chemistry system ingame. But if its too complicated it will definitly put people off and ditch it altogether.
By the way the "Plasma" is most likely a Nitrogen Group Element considering how oxophile it is and how exothermic it reacts with oxygen. Also the ratios it reacts with oxygen well seem to fit into that group aswell. Doesnt explain though why you wind up with Carbon Dioxide after reaction... probably some magic or that...

Indeed the one from the Wolfenstein games. In appearence and as in name. Though not as actual carbon copy of that guy. Wouldnt be fun for anyone. Might have to adjust the age a bit, 70 is fairly young for Strasse and considering the Sci-Fi setting were people usually tend to get alot older.

Thanks alot guys

Just 3 short questions:
Is there a way for protolathed weapons to be unlocked? Not that any of my characters would use them if not Antag but lets just say my chemscience characters likes to carry a Tesla revolver at shuttle escape with him. If its not possible then no big deal RnD got enough materials to make very potent improvised weapons.
While playing as W. Strasse a security officer asked me kindly to light their flamethrower. I was not able to do this since I have no idea how to actually light those things. So any of you guys got an idea how to light it? Plasma tank was attached and filled with Plasma
Also while playing as W. Strasse a fellow Roboticist asked me when we can get flashes. I tried my best to research them, but no luck. Everything was at 6, some tech at 7 with exception to illegal tech which was at 4. So is there a way to get Flashes for RnD without ordering from Sec or so?

Hello people of Paradise Station.
My name is EldritchSigma and I have heard about this game on the Cataclysm DDA Forums and on the Dwarf Fortress Forums. So I looked into this game and I quite like it. Especially the server I seem to have chosen. Its a pretty nice community from what I have seen so far. IRL I am 24 years old and working as a chemist.
Now anyways. I am still fairly new to the game and I am kind of slow with controls still which should pass over given enough time. I have created several characters with all different personalities on the server already which I quite enjoy playing. Most of the time I enjoy playing as my Chemscience Character Willhelm Strasse who I would describe as an old, slightly overprotective guy who is proud of his work and very arrogant towards the engineering department (Some may have seen that already). Also frequently making grenades for testing of different payloads... So far about what I have been doing.
What I plan to do is diving into other departments with different characters and see how I like them. Havent done that so far, sort of "afraid" because the first time I went for science I did so much wrong and people at the front desk were mad at me because I (as in me not as my character) did not know how to use the Protolathe...
Anyways thats about me, seeya arround.
