saywat_the_15th Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I know that this is kinda retarded idea but who cares, amirite? Give ghosts some kinda swords or weapons to fight other ghosts, life after death could be cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauka Usanake Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Wouldn't work without some type of GUI which ghosts, as well as a bunch of other mobs, don't have. Maybe not NEEDED but will be so much more useful for interacting with any sort of ghost item. Otherwise, I can't get behind this. Why would you want to fight others when you could watch the rest of the station ERP everything eventually get murdered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemanspark Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Something to do besides following people would be nice, don't know what, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauka Usanake Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Haunting! However the Boo! ghost power/spell isn't satisfying enough, anything else might be too annoying or game/emersion breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keilden Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 What about giving ghosts several spells that cost ectoplasma. Ectoplasma will very slowly build up and can be used for spells that have effects with the most visible of them costing maybe a hours worth of ectoplasma. And with spells I don't mean revenant level of spells but say 10min worth plasma to paint one graffiti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauka Usanake Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 It's going to be really tough to balance ghost features with griefing capabilities. Maybe if we gave some feature that they could communicate with the living, but then that could be abused too if not done correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saywat_the_15th Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Spark spell that doesn't set stuff on fire, it could scare the crap outta people. Also regen time on that like 5 or 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeletedUser Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I know its rather off-topic, but what I choose to do to kill time as a ghost is: 1: press alt+tabulation. 2: double-click cataclysmdda.exe/Xcomew.exe/civBtS.exe/xenonauts.exe/whateverthatcanbeplayedonwindowedmode.exe 3: get killed because i suck at the game 4: oh look the shuttle was called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 * Blood stain. "Blood starts seeping through the floor" * Machine gremlin. Equals pulsing a random wire. * Magic Smoke. Makes a machine smoke slightly. * Summon mouse. * St. Elmo's fire. Brief light source when standing on metal rods. * Creepy sound. Makes a random creepy sound (alien hiss, scream) if the target is in darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthdivine Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Ghosts will never have anything that can cause something to happen in a round. Every time they were given something that could, even by accident, it was heavily abused and led to player deaths. Even Boo is pushing it now a days since some ghosts are killing diona with it.

NTSAM Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Yeah, we shouldn't have that kind of thing, people will basically just spam spawn mice on the antag or whatever. Plus, we don't need any more fucking supernatural shit for ghosts, you get an antagonist and a lights-flickering spell, that's all you get for interacting with the real world. Flips for ghosts would be a-okay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saywat_the_15th Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well, worth the try. Please do give *flip to ghosts, that would be neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plotron Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Even Boo is pushing it now a days since some ghosts are killing diona with it. Gah! That's nothing! I remember ghosts saving a shadowling once when it hatched out in a dimly lit room.

I want Thunderdome. Something that wouldn't interfere with the living's round. Why haven't you thought of Thunderdome? Can't we just automate Thunderdome?

HereticChurch Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Where's Thunderdome? I want Thunderdome. Why haven't you thought of Thunderdome? Can't we just automate Thunderdome? I tend to run Thunderdome pretty much any time the ghosts get rowdy and numerous. Asking for it when I'm on tends to get it rolling faster. Just don't beg.

Tauka Usanake Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thunderdome does seem like the basic solution to this. You don't need to give ghosts anything it seems. Just things for the players to do while they're not in the core game. +1 if Thunderdome TV can become a thing that the station can watch :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadApple797 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I wish we could appear momentarily as ghosts, your sprite is usually super spooky, covered in blood, missing limbs and on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauka Usanake Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I wish we could appear momentarily as ghosts, your sprite is usually super spooky, covered in blood, missing limbs and on fire. This will only become a thing if we have a type of "haunting" round. That wouldn't be such a bad idea actually. Basically ghosts will be tormenting the crew's life and the only way to silence them is to remove what is channeling them into existence. But we already have too many gamemodes the Chaplain has to attend to and this is already a feature that Cult does. Maybe something a little more specific but I think that was mentioned before as a possible gamemode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the thing with the Thunderdome is, it's only special because its rare. Its just people beating each other with OP weapons, if we make it publicly avaiable it will quickly become a common-ish thing and loose all it's uniqueness or whatever.
