Space Station 13 v11 - Admiral Hippie does bad videos

Fuck it, I'm going to start coding shit for SS13.
I have so many ideas and fixes but I'm far too impatient for wait for others to do it
[QUOTE=Lawligagger;47484735]If you can, it'd be appreciated if you PMmed me the results of those as well, I've been missing from action for about a month.[/QUOTE]
Well the admin team became a mess while you were gone, Basically treating anything as an IC issue and pretending they had no power of people that grief.

Amazing example of an "IC issuse" is where some random security officer comes into my HoP Office, then stuns me and cuffs me while I'm talking to someone. Just starts being me to death for no goddamn reason, because I threat to their order. Not only is that really fucking stupid, but this was a security player who was willingly attacking a head and someone who hadn't done a goddamn thing that entire round. I stayed in my Office and did jack shit only to get arrested for no reason by some security officer not playing security, even without a reason someone can fuck around as security and get by with it as an IC issue. I've seen many a tider try to steal my security gear for the sole reason on trying to get back at me for arresting them, hell I've been killed for it before, he's not punished. I receive a day ban for killing the captain who made a brought for a lot of "IC issues with me, in short I killed a traitor in engineering, captain arrests me, lets me go, and then rearrests me for no reason and I fight back with the traitor's ebow I found, trying to escape them. I get critted and revive and fuck off but still wanting to kill this comdom for just being a terrible captain overall, so low and behold comdom is stunned and cuffed by beepsky near engineering. Oh I take this has divine providence and kill the fucker for being such an ass to me ICly. Yet SOME HOW I CANNOT JUSTIFY MURDER, THAT WAS COMPLETELY REASONABLE ON THE ACCOUNT THE CAPTAIN HAD WRONGED ME IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE AND ICLY THERE WOULD BE NO POTENTIAL FOR ME TO KILL HIM IF I HAD THE CHANCE.
So what exactly does pepper spray do and is it worth it? Im thinking that pepper spray is way more acceptable to use liberally than say your stun baton. It can also be used on multiple people at once, and IRL the police use it to break up large masses of people.
It would be really cool and useful if sec had teargas grenades, especially against greytide. Basically if you have no internals you cough and drop things, if you have no eye protection it degrades your vision or can make you go temporarily blind. Gas masks would completely negate it even without oxygen.
A swarm of angry assistants mulling around outside security? Chuck a few teargas grenades at em.

Pepper spray is pretty legit. It knocks people on their ass and if it gets stolen they can't refill it and you have sunglasses so it can't affect you.
Be sure to be aiming at the eyes or it'll do nothing.
Ive said this before but I still firmly believe alot of the poor opinions people have with some admins is because no one knows if any action got taken by said admin.
When the only response is "ill look into it" and then you get nothing after that its fairly easy to assume that nothing got done, there really needs to be public ban/punishment messages so people actually know that someones been banned or punished for something.
Last night I AHELP'd a really obvious metagaming guy (sec officer helping a traitor kill people) and at the end of the round having gotten nothing other than "ill look into it" I see the traitor still alive and well on the shuttle and im left feeling like nothing was done about it, for all I know he could have been perma'd after the game but with no way of knowing that I would just assume nothing came of it.

This is an issue with SS13 as a whole, because if an admin says "yeah he helped a tator" you'd know someone was a traitor and that would reveal in game information. Admins can't really DO that so you kinda just have to Ahelp and hope, another issue is if someone WAS a traitor, even if they were banned their name would pop up in the greentext/redtext feed, Possibly even getting full on greentext if all their objectives were assassinations (which are basically a free space)
I always follow a Policy of "when in doubt Ahelp it" which tends to work out just fine, although %90 of my Ahelps are due to getting killed in what turns out to be a Rev Round. Still, Ahelping a potential shitler never hurts as it does generate a log, just be sure To include a name.
So I found out about Minitanks today. They can mount a Solaris Laser cannon and taser gun, the Go-to mech for when mining are being lazy fucks.

Shame they die In two laser gun... yes gun not cannon, shots to the arse.
I'm thinking of tweaking with botany and Xenobiology so they can at least have some relevence in the short-medium rounds.
Hell, maybe even design some new plants/slimes.

Im not saying the messages need to come up right away, if they were part of the end round summary that would be fine since by then it doesn't matter if someones a traitor as the rounds over.
In the opinion of the players, what makes a good admin?

Actually acknowledging you when they take action, Actually taking action in the first place, Giving explanation if they cannot take action.

Yes, you can order them from cargo or make them in the Exofabs after you do the usual "Three mech suringe, two mech taser, SMES board and Intelicard"
As an RD you can have one within ten mins if you bumrish it but it takes 340 seconds, down to 190 with the machines being mostly upgraded.

That would be difficult to code in and there's only 25 seconds between shuttle dock and round end so it's tricky for admins to message people. And no it's not just that fukken easy to code in a "quick list of names that pop up" Trust me I know, programming difficulties aside this is byond were talking about.
Not to mention when the admins kill everyone at the end of the round or sheer amounts of text can cause the server to crash or lag BADLY.

Goodcurity needs to be fixed to my knowledge.
As Assistant I tend to be a shitlord who will resist security(if they arrest me for jack shit or defending myself) until I get executed.
Once almost got out of perma by capturing the HoS, but it always ends with 2 gaurds tasering my ass and then beating me.
I only really have a desire to play warden cause I get to sit in the chair and just guard armory. I tend to be nice as warden unless you fuck with my armory or if you annoy me too much(tend to laser people once) If you fuck with my armory, you will pay the cost.

Add BYOND key and punishment to temporary list when someone gets punished - list gets printed at the end of round, not rocket science, I understand how silly BYOND is to code in but it really should not be that hard.
More so just throwing out ideas here since no one else seems to want to.
Every few days/weeks we just go back into the same loop of "urr admins" and nothing changes.
I just want some active security players on Hippie, people I can rely on rather than people I have to babysit.
That's all I want *HoS sobbing intensifies*

Well, I've been trying to play security every once in a while, after four years of never touching anything but detective. To be honest, Hippiestation seems like a bad place to learn the role, do to the amount of shittery that goes on even without antags doing anything. Any advice or chicken soup for the budding red shirt?

Travel with another competent security member, get a handheld crew tracker, get cloning sample at genetics before being murdered, constantly check in with your team and communicate. (aka, heading in maintenance, chemist is being shifty)
And yeah, Hippiestation has a lot of greytiders, but just treat them harshly if they push their lhck and they'll start to recognise your name when online and know to stay being a shittler.

So, if this is correct, it's possible to catch anything that's thrown/shot at you if you have the right reflexes to click the right frame of the projectile AND pixel?
That's hardcore.
