This is a such a great game, even if it's a loving pain in the rear end to figure out how to even move around and interact with anything. There doesn't seem to be a janitor anymore, according to the OP? That was my favorite job. I'd be washing a corridor outside my closet and "forget" to put out the warning: wet signs. Somebody would run past, slip and go prone then I'd drag them into my closet and dump them into the trash chute, bye bye! I'm happy that the game seems to have gotten a lot of love over the years.

Just missing from the OP. As for mopping without signs, well, keep fighting the good fight brother. Let the cries of "kill the janitor" be as a sweet music to your ears.

Geight posted:PDAs seem like they have a whole lot of potential that is completely wasted because they are inconvenient and people are lazy. Yeah, the private chat feature could be really useful if it was more convenient. Maybe it should be available via a simple chat command if you have the PDA in your hand. Or if you want it to be really convenient, also if it's in a pocket.

Or if you want it to be really convenient, also if it's in a pocket. Trying to pocket text should garble up the message. I agree that PDA's should be much more desirable, with fun and useful tools so that people don't just toss it or use it as a flashlight. Perhaps there can be something like a 3D printer app/cart that can build a several-use version of any small tool on a moderate cooldown? That way you're never totally screwed if you get stuck and people can leave the full toolboxes for jobs that really need them. Other low-use specialized items like the cameras and audio logs could probably be condensed into a PDA app too.

PDA cameras and audio recorders make a great deal of sense now that I think about it. Command-based PDA chat is also a really good idea. It could really be as simple as letting people use a "chat" or "text" command in the client's text bar to quickly feed a message to the PDA, and displaying a little "Grife Robusterson taps a message into his PDA" message to anyone within view. PDAs should also be able to print things if used on a piece of paper. Print out e-mails sent to you, or print out photos you've snapped. Print out incriminating chat logs and show them to the HoS. Print out fake incriminating chat logs and show them to the HoS.

I've been thinking that the messaging function would be more useful if there was a way to target a specific subset of people. Like, say, I'm trying to tell scientists that they should pick up that crateful of weed I just sent through the cargo belts without some Staff Assistant overhearing and snagging it from the dock. Being able to do it with a chat command would just be wonderful.

The game could maybe use a more general science headset, so if you are a scientist by any definition of the word, you can broadcast a message to the other "real jobs" people. So the assistants plodding the hallways wont hear about the weed crate but anyone working in engineering, botany, medical, etc will all get the message. The chef is also clearly a scientist. Then again I'm pretty bad at this game.

I don't know anyone that knows how to do everything, and I'm sure there's lots of stuff lost in the code that people don't even know about. Confession: I've worked on this game for 6 years and I've never learned how to use the ThinkDOS computers

Glad to hear a remake on a proper engine is in the works, I'd try playing again but doing anything time-sensitive is pretty much the worst and attempting to chase someone turns into a horrible game of click the laggy moving square at exactly the right split-second. I just want to apply medical creams to your butt, please stop running.

My greatest SS13 moment was showing the game to a friend for the first time, and out of loving nowhere comes MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE breaking through walls like the Kool Aid man never could. My friend asked me to explain what was happening, but I'd never seen anything like it. I'd seen aggressive monkeys, I'd seen telepathic hulks, I'd seen Batmans explode people MK Brutality style, and I even once saw George Melons robust his way out of a pickle. But Randy Savage is the most intimidating robuster I've ever seen. It was terrifying and hilarious and left a hell of a first impression.

One of my earliest rounds I was rude to, I think, Mary Abandon (she caught me busting out windows for no real reason, a minor scuffle ensued), and she sent Macho Man hurtling from deep space like a comet, through several layers of bulkhead, just to clothes-line me. I stepped out of the way at the last second, and the guy standing behind me got absolutely ruined. I then led Macho Man on a merry chase through some of the more populated areas of the ship while screaming "The macho man is loose!" I managed to ditch Macho while he was busy beating up the crew and hid in the bar. Then there was a message from centcom "Loose? The goose is loose", and roughly 30 geese shot out of my rear end and pecked me to death. That's the first story I always tell when I'm describing SS13 to someone.

Had my first changeling round in a while as the detective. Mostly business as usual, with a wizard around to keep most of the heat off me - with some great moments and terrible one-liners like neurotoxining the HoS as he tried to fix himself up with tricord, whispering "allow me" - and then a magical thing happened. Damian Garneys (I think) jabbed me with a hypospray of Capulettium, so I ran away and speed regenerated. He grabbed me and dragged me into tech storage, whereupon I woke up! What followed was a flurry of lasers firing, hyposprays jabbing, flesh regenerating and acid flying. Into the middle of this wandered a confused staff assistant. "...I'm new" he whimpered, and attempting to intervene, injected himself with capulettium. A nice pod flew past, and cheerily shouted "hi changeling! Have fun eating them!" I protested that Damian was the changeling, but the pod didn't care, so I just sat about shooting the poo poo with it while taking off Damian and the assistant's masks to prepare for feasting. I made sure to kill Damian, but my energy gun ran out of charges, so I just had to keep disabling the poor hapless assistant. "Hey, you might want to come out here and jump in my pod when you're done, he's woken up" *zap* "Are you sure you have enough" *spit* "That poor assistant" "*clonk* "Well, throw them in the pool when you're done" *jab* It was indescribably zen.

Why stop at just leaving them with the same number of limbs as they started? Everyone could use a third arm. Or second head. (Although I imagine this would probably be difficult to sprite. Still, imagine the possibilities!)

Last night I had my first traitor round in a while. Ordered the surplus crate and got His Grace. I had never seen anyone use it, but decided to give it a try based on info from the wiki...found out the hard way you have to empty it occasionally. Fun while it lasted though!
