It looks like a park ranger's hat to me, like what you'd see Smokey the Bear wearing.

I think it's supposed to look like what Captain Crunch wears.

Who made the sprites of the current goonstation? I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out what sort of hat the captain's hat is supposed to be.

A stetson with... golden stuff on the brim? Weird sci-fi headwear?

I see the thing in the middle as a big ol' hand giving the bird.

I always assumed it was meant to be like a flat-brimmed Drill Sergeant's hat.

While not very original by SS13 standards, I have a fond memory of being an antagonist and making a copy of the garbage compactor from disposals. I set up a new compactor in the middle of a hallway and set up a cloaking field to hide it. Then made up a story and called on the radio for urgent security and medical help. As people came running down the hallway to my rescue, they would suddenly turn into a fine bloody mist.
I got pulped by that!

The issue with cog2 at the moment is that it doesn't cope well with low-pop rounds. If there's less than around 20 people the station starts feeling very deserted because it's too big for that playercount.
This in turn leads to less people joining or sticking around and all of a sudden we have a negative feedback loop.
Can Cogmap 1 telescience please have the TV cameras from Cogmap 2?

Another thing that's been ending rounds is that the station sometimes loses it's powergrid when someone's cutting and placing wires, the station gets very dark very quickly and someone has to call the shuttle, the other is antags deciding to go on a murder spree with 10 people in the round.

Yeah if there's only like ten people do something fun like kidnap a crewmember or something maybe, rampages during lowpop are part of why we have lowpop sometimes


edit: Well I guess you can rampage too, but instead of outright killing people like remove a leg or something, so you end up with nine angry crew hopping after you in a very slow chase

A good one for lowpop server antagonists is to abduct their target (sleepypen is great for this) and seal themselves in medical to perform "experiments" with their new pal. Brag loudly over the radio about your "great work" and you can keep everyone (including your target) entertained and still accomplish your objectives.

Alternate idea for changelings on slow servers: Become a clown who performs the most horrifying tricks involving hapless monkeys/assistants.

I played for a while and then stopped because George Melons always killed me.

I decided to get back in, and the botanist wanted to show me some cool watermelons she'd grown.

I might give it another shot to see how George will grief me today.

There's nothing worse than a rampaging traitor/changeling captain on low cap. Been thinking on stuff to do. One idea was an AI law to have the crew sacrifice to it to avoid it murdering them all. Starting with simple stuff like tools and moving up to a blood sacrifice in the AI core by removing their heart

A couple of months ago, the same guy got traitor cap several rounds in a row, when there were about four or five people on. He'd immediately grab some rampage gear (I think it was wrassling belt + something else), kill the few guys masochistic enough to hang around, then call the shuttle and and hang around arrivals while waiting for it to arrive. It's not like he was cheating or anything, dude was just lucky, but you'd think after the third time it would have lost its appeal.

The last time I played I tried to make chilis that were infused with THC. I ate one and instantly turned to ash. The potency carried over but none of the calm. It wasn't a big deal until the chef broke into botany and took them to cook!

i once borged the brain from a dead wizard who ressurected via soulshield. It ripped him from his new body to the borg where he promptly flipped the gently caress out at me. It was amazing.



I also Borged the same traitor twice in a round. First time he ran off as the borg and cursed me off, pushing someone to re human him. Second time he ran off for rehumaning only to come back and brutally murder me.


Never not borg antags.

I once Borged a zombified player, that was pretty fun. All it could do is hiss and snarl at people while helping them.

one time a few years ago i was a changeling that got borged

i was able to regenerate from my brain alone by changing form, which caused my borg body to explode in all directions in its parts and a naked human to pop out

also i could reborgify at will as my borg body had been added to my transformation list

That is awesome. I wonder if that's just a weird consequence of the changeling and borg stuff interacting, or if it was put in there intentionally.

Changelings are the best antags.

I mean, the alternative is that you actually try to do your job and every other person on the station shoves you over and/or runs off with your trolley. Playing the janitor job straight is a miserable affair.
