Triggerhappypilot posted:The problem with this is the same fundamental problem that Revolution and Alien had, in that people would intentionally die or be converted to do the cool stuff, leading to it being incredibly difficult for those actually trying to defend the station. That being said, if the novelty of this wears off it might work, but who knows how long that might take. Well, that's why it would be up to the discretion of the changeling himself who actually got to be his minion, and it's not like you would be able to turn everyone at once into minions, because that would be dumb; 1-2 tops would probably be it. More than anything I like the idea of having the changeling chat of people you've absorbed, then if you die everyone would get released into regular deadchat. That said, bringing husks back to life would circumvent this, but that would be fine, because living husks are hilarious.

All aboard! choo choo! At the moment it can pull another cart that'll eventually be capable of holding a crate, drill or digbot. ChickenHeart posted:So...what happens when you cuff an assistant to the tracks? They'll either get gibbed or get their arms ripped off and killed instantly.

I hope the SS13 remake can handle moving platforms so we can have a train system going around the station. A train system where you can get into fistfights and throw people off of them while they're moving

Empty the tram, put the nuke disc on a car, turn it on to full speed, hop off, and let anyone dumb enough to go for the disc get run over.

I was thinking it would be nice for traitors who had to escape alone if pods couldn't just sort of magically wedge themselves into the windows when the shuttle arrives. I would suggest having the shuttle violently impact with anything in it's spawn area or something like that. I would also suggest "forgetting" to update the changelog for the first couple days if my stupid rear end idea actually gets implemented.

AndroidHub posted:I thought it would be cool if the people the changeling absorbed were put into a special deadchat sort of channel and forced to spectate the changeling (who would be able to talk to them and see their chat), then the changeling could choose players to dispatch as things like the disembodied hands that show up in the 2011 The Thing prequel. They would have the job of eventually coming back and rejoining with the changeling to perhaps bring him dna from people they had taken down. I think it would be great, because you could at least try to choose somebody you think would do a good job to be your minion out of the people you've taken (and it would be something for the absorbed people to stick around for). How about something a little more misdirecting for the changeling? Give them a Sting that makes the victim turn into a toolbox-swinging maniac similar to those created with New Life. For best effect, have it not activate until they come near another crewmember. "Oh god, Infected Pubbie's beating me to death with his shoes!" is always a great distraction, and the infected guy would likely be shot/beaten to death before they could prove their innocence. Meanwhile, the changeling's off devouring some poor soul who didn't go to see what the commotion was with everyone else.

If the AI is being killed and jumps into one of the shells before it dies, it should be able to live on  (also how do you equip poo poo in a shell's module slots?)

This weekend I found that as a borg if you equip an item from your module, then have your module removed and you de-equip the items only to have the module reinserted in you those items no longer function. Like, instead of being stored they just disappear into the ether.

If you figure out the coordinates, you can teleport things to/from actual locations ingame. Additionally, you can open up two-way portals to those locations. Some of these locations can only be accessed via telescience, and they're pretty awesome.

Send volunteers/prisoners on a trip to some horribly dangerous exploration locations that are only accessible through the science teleporter, some of which have some really neat prizes if you manage to survive.

I looked up the telescience thing and apparently you need to use goddamn algebra to ever use it in a consistent manner. Screw that noise, I'm just going to plug in random stuff. Math isn't fun.

I'm absolutely awful at maths and it really isn't that difficult. You can get all the math done that you'll need for the round in a couple of minutes. Plugging in random numbers ceases to be fun after awhile, especially after watching the tele-wiz's do all kinds of neat poo poo like it ain't no thang.

If you really hate math that much just do the thing that all the cool kids do and make an excel spreadsheet to do the math for you. That's what I do and what I'm sure every "tele-wiz" does whether they want to admit it or not. Also, if you want to find somewhere fun, just use one of the space GPS and take a look at list of other GPS locations. Infinite Monkeys posted:How to telescience

Why bother learning the math Cogwerks? When am I ever going to have to do telescience in real life? Edit: Seriously though it doesn't take much time to figure that poo poo out.

Has anyone looked into consolidating the different (I count three) teleportation systems somehow? There must be some great possibilities with one unified system. Also: quote:Jenny Chengling's left arm flies off in a bloody arc!
