RobBrown4pm Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 As it stands right now a fire outbreak isn't that big of a deal. It will quote often put it self out and doesen't spread to cause any damage, unless some form of atmos breach is involved. On all contained vessels fire is a very big deal and I would like to see it get buffed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sothangel Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 From what I've seen, fires quite often burn through the hull, causing a breach. The temperature does impressive burn damage to people too. Depends on the source too, a plasma grenade can easily fuck up a whole department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but what is a breach to a system like LINDA? I get where Rob is going w/ this, and I think fire could use a little more...erratic behavior, making fire a much larger hazard, and making Atmos a bigger deal.

Rurik Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Id be all for making fires spread faster and being harder to put out. But I do not see how the former would be accomplishable with the LINDA atmos system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZN23X Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'll be the noob. What the hell is LINDA? Obviously an atmosphere system from another version of the game but what's the difference to the current one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinarzad Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Nah, LINDA is the system we use now that's more tile based. The old system we had is ZAS which is Zone/room based. Linda goes bit by bit, and is super slow. Less likely to destroy the server's resources though. ZAS is pretty much "One window broke, entire room vented in .5 seconds" but is a fucking glutton on resources (To my understanding anyway) (LINDA can be made to go much faster then it does now, but to my knowledge that requires some back-end ports of TG that we do not have yet and is one of those things that won't be a small or simple project to port over.)

Sothangel Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 And as has been stated previously, switching back to ZAS is not happening, just to kill that subject before it arises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having more dynamic fires would do a lot to help promote the crew working together, it would also give crew members something to do and let them feel more engaged with the station and their compatriots.
