We know what the crashes are from, the problem is, and has been pinpointing WHY it is causing that bug. Player count hasn't been the reason why, as we have had it crash with 20 people, as Ours said, and also at 100 people. We're doing our best to slowly whittle down possibilities on what is causing it, but it's hard going.

there needs to be a fannypack/belt-worn backpack for all those fireaxe-wielding maniacs out there who need their backpack slot
Hey look, a use for all those Plastic Bags we start with.

AI Upgrades would be the shit.
Now you've got me interested...
-Med HUD
-Sec HUD
-X-Ray Vision
-Camera Range
-Additional Intercoms
-Motion Sensing doors/Voltage chooser for electrified doors
-Mobile AI Shell for roaming the station.
-Shunt for non malf AI
-X-Ray Vision Go away
-Motion Sensing doors/Voltage chooser for electrified doors Get your borgs to install cameras with motion sensors in them, as for doors just modify the powernet
To be fair, X-ray and motion sensors are already a thing in the game
But yea, alot of that isn't needed, or is just plain redundant. The Ai has enough toys as it is, I don't think it needs anything else.

We discussed with the Players on the server once, giving the AI the ability to Examine things would further cement it as the most powerful force on the station. There's ALOT of stuff you can learn through Examining, alot of antag equipment actually doesn't show up unless you examine them. Giving the AI this power nerfs the stealth aspect of Antags by large amounts. Cultist rounds are already a nightmare, AI just has to notice people in a room with blood. With Exmaine? Hey look, all three have cult books.
As for Sec HUD, you got Security Borgs for that, You can listen to the Security Freq., and you have free access to the Security Records, it really doesn't need it.
As for Medical HUD's, I keep the Crew Monitoring screen open but made small when i'm playing AI and refresh it every now and then. I will be perfectly Honest, i have noticed a good amount of crew dead and don't report it. Medical HUD would be nice, but overall not really needed. It'd be very neat if you could upgrade the AI TO have the HUD though, that would open up some new things

-Password requirement for initial server access from an IP, the password being located in the rules naturally.
We already got that, shhh.
Though in seriousness, I think we could stand to ask people who break the rules to give us the phrase more often and then deal with them from there.
And even then, most of the time, the players that do break the rules, they do know them, they just don't care.

Goonstation has re-added VoX, just as an aside.
But yea, I've seen players use it very constructively, usually for a station wide alert they want the crew not to ignore. One round the AI kept using it to tell the crew where a blob was before it could grow to a fightable size. Just because some people use it for Beepsky Re-enactments doesn't mean it should be removed.
-
There have been problems in rev rounds in particular and it seems to be spilling into Borer rounds.
Just because your a borer or a rev, YOU STILL FOLLOW THE RULES.
As a Rev, that doesn't mean you get to murder-boner the crew, that doesn't mean you can start to grief around the station. You still are playing on the server, you need to follow the rules. The only people you should be doing that to are the heads of staff. It's really frustrating to see people start Ahelping because someone got Rev'd then killed the person next to them.
As for Borers, You objective is to survive. THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HOST AND SUICIDE/USE THEM TO KILL EVERYTHING AROUND YOU. We can tell when your doing that, and you are certainly NOT exempt from the rules just because your a borer. There's a difference in attacking someone to get them down and put a slug in there, and there's taking control of the captain and firing the laser at anyone who see you.
We really shouldn't have to make this clear, but it seems that we do.

Alright, this also needs being noted: YOU CAN DIE FROM BRAIN DAMAGE NOW. After 100 Brain damage, you are DED, YOUR MIND IS MUSH.
Hence the change to Murcury and Impedrezine, which are much more huge.

This is a problem with other BYOND servers in general, it comes and goes, or just never vanishes. In my case, this happens when ever i try to connect to any Goon servers. Usually direct connection to the server, though a byond link or by clicking on the paradise link from http://www.nanotrasen.se/ will probably work. If not, I don't know much else that can help.

Thats strange, i guess the photocopy ass is treated as a paper rather then a photo.
The IAA got Blue Space Artillery'd, if you wondered what happened to him.
-
The plan was going to have the Death Implants only message the PDA of the Blueshiled, kind of like how scientists/Roboticists get the Paywage message, so you take out the Blueshiled, no one knows when a implant goes off, instead of the loud message that plays over coms.
As for the tracking, i'll shoot ponies a suggestion, i got an idea for that for now, but it would only work on a singular head unfortunately.
-
The NT Rep should be allowed to send photos to CentComm via the fax machine - or have a separate system entirely for transmitting photos available on the bridge.
If I'm correct, our current Security Overhaul thread says that the station can activate code gamma by using the fax machine to send photos of cultists or fully-suited Nuke Ops. This is made impossible by the minor fact that we have no official way of actually sending photos to CentComm.
I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it also seems that the NT Rep's stamp icon is missing.
I can confirm for a fact that you can send photos, unless that was very recently broken.
We got a photo of someones ass day 1 of photocopying-your-ass became a thing.
As for the NT Rep's stamp, i think it's an incomplete icon path or something, i'll check later

I would really like to point out the Blueshield's revolver can be upgraded to ATLEAST the Traitor revolver ammo, that shit will kill a non-armoured person in only 2 shots. Your also THE Blueshield, if you want a Combat Shotgun, just request it from the captain, the spare can go to R&D. If you feel the heads are threatened enough, make a case to the HoP to give you the all access. The heads know they can trust the blueshield, you don't need to start the round with all the nice stuff.
-
Wasn't the reason we changed it to a revolver was to give him something unique, and also so you can detain the person fighting, like a detective can when pressed to do it, rather then the lethal rounds the Combat Shotgun uses? Hell, if they Blueshield is so worried he needs lethal rounds, he can just go get them from Cargo.

There's at least 4 pairs in the med bay storage i believe, along with a bio-suit closet outside of said storage.

Server is now back up and running. If you all enjoyed your time at Sigurd, don't leave it in the dust, help it grow along side us. As for our regulars, looking forward to seeing you back on the server.
-
Due to issues with new code recently added into the server and no one being able to be on to fix it, we are taking down the server until later tonight. We apologize for this, but we feel its the best course of actions until we get everything fixed and sorted out.
While waiting, don't forget about our sister server, Sigurd, ran by Melandor0, the good man who hosts us. Their server is heavy RP oriented, so crazy antics you see on Paradise are generally not wanted there, but if you want to just relax and role-play things out, hop on over there.

No, this is a topic about discussing powergaming and its ties to roleplay, it is NOT a discussing about one singular person, how powergaming ties into their playstyle, nor is it about what they do with it. You can build around argument based on past experiences, thats not uncommon at all. But focusing solely on one person instead of the topic itself, is whats wrong.
Also, as much as respawning might be a good thing on other servers, its not so much a good concept. We had respawning on for the first month the server was up, and it was terrible. Not to mention it eventually became a literal Grey Tide due to it.
-
Stop it with the personal attacks, its one thing to talk about someone in correlation with the thread, but its another to focus solely on them, particularly with past experiences. Personal jabs like this are insanely childish, don't bring them in full view of a bunch of people who don't know, and more then likely don't care, about what someone has done before, PARTICULARLY if its not the focus of the topic. Dubiously so when your using words like Fecal matter.
On topic, its just like Regens said. Though, in my opinion, i really wish people wouldn't Powergame, it doesn't bring anything fun to the game, but i realize why that is. You know, if you die, you'll be out for....say 30 minutes to a hour and a half. You don't want that, no one does.
But having to adapt to those situations is fun, the panic that races through you when you realize that your fucked if you don't stop someone or have to go aid something. But its really hard to do with how shitty bay makes their antags (coughchanglingcough)

Absorbing everyone is dickish and shouldn't be what you always use, as DNA extraction sting is entirely covert and does not kill the target while still counting for objectives.
Acquiring DNA via DNA Extraction Sting, however, is instant and does not give any alert to the target.
Costs 25 chemicals.
Counts towards DNA absorption objectives.
This was taken from the wiki page itself. There's literally no reason to absorb anyone with this new 'ling set up, unless you want new powers, or you want to make sure no one will notice there's two of the same people. I'll keep looking at it, but this is how things look to be so far.
-
Looking at this, it appears we already have the Wizard changes ingame. The Changling though...that makes it very boring, IMO. All you do is take DNA from someone, that's it. No risk attached to it, you can keep stealing DNA until you get all your powers and no one would really know. And if the victim gets a "You feel a tiny prick"...how do you fight back? You shirek and your screwed because now everyone knows. Cryo sting is over time, meaning it wont help at the time.
Changlings are unfair, tha'ts true. Getting paralyzed for longer then a stun baton then taken out of the game is shitty, but it's also better then how it used to be (Para+mute). It looks like the changes were more directed to making 'Lings be more of a cooldown based traitor rather then, well, a Changling.

Regens told me a quick way to find out, but even still, it's really hard to actually admin that stuff.
But enough of that, this was about the Meme,which probably never come back

Ponies is already fixing it, he just has more important bugs to deal with first.

back when we let ghosts lip tables for Halloween, we didn't think so either. But then players got smart, flipping objects at people when they went to pick them up, flipping objects off the tables AT them just to hurt them, isn't actually that bad. But there were some areas, i'm not mentioning them because it'll be more fun for you guys to find them, where the ghosts ruined good chase scenes or stand offs. One of my antag rounds was ruined because i was behind a table at at location and a ghost flipped it, letting the blueshiled get to me. We already tried letting players use it for fun and they began to abuse it, hence why it was removed past Halloween
EDIT: thats not to say its a bad idea, i love it. But like Regens said, it would need to be a more centered point of attention then just a job for it to work.
Two Gamemode Ideas.

Not to mention for the highlander mode, it would require a good bit of coding for a mode that MIGHT not even work well, and it also alienates most of the station.
But the first one can be done with alot of variable editing.
