ProperPants Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Maint drones, meant to repair the station, have a hard time fixing breaches caused by disposals bombs and other shenaniganery due to the fact that they get pushed around by the pressure and vacuum. Maint drones could use built-in magboots, just like how EngiBorgs have. EDIT: Also give them plasteel to be able to make reinforced walls.

Keroman Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 You'll get no argument from me here. I don't even play maintenance drones but this just seems like a no-brainer. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamania Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I like playing Maintdrone, especially if I join late, say, 1h40m in. Getting pushed around and such is freaking annoying, so +1 from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidchan Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Crap I thought we already had this. Maint Drones and Engiborgs should both have a magboot effect, just like the secborg has a riotshield effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisreputableSquid Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 +1 for sure! I enjoy playing maintenance drones a lot (its like being in engineering without the drama!) but the fact that they slip and slide around due to pressure makes it impossible to deal with some things like hull breaches, ESPECIALLY since you can move over/under most objects in the game and can't pull anything.

MrRogueAce Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Remove the plastic that they have with platsteel and I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperPants Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Remove the plastic that they have with platsteel and I'll be happy Oh yes that too. Then they can actually fix reinforced walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperPants Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 I'm reviving this because it still hasn't happened and I've encountered situations where this is necessary. It's unnecessarily hard to fix a breach because of the lack of magboots. I also made a small addition to the original post. EDIT: Wow I didn't realize I only posted this a couple weeks ago. Still. It probably would take 10 minutes to code by someone who knows how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiberDark Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I support this too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperPants Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I've already done this. Plasteel was decided on as too OP, though. No more replies. Issue resolved. https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/4017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
