Space Station 13 v12 - The Tide Awakens - Games

[QUOTE=thisguy123;52259176]As someone who dev's for hippie I can tell ya that the only reason the knight crates aren't back is because we're in a code freeze while we prep a rebase (again,l but it's the last one this time) Just as soon as the current host gets some free time (poor lad works for a cyber security company and the attack a week ago has him working overtime) we can rebase and cargonia memes will be back in full force.[/QUOTE] God bless. Thank you for the clarity

after having a dream where i ran an efficient cargo bay with nothing bad happening i think i need to play other departments science seems like fun

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;52264996]after having a dream where i ran an efficient cargo bay with nothing bad happening i think i need to play other departments science seems like fun[/QUOTE] Science goes one of a few ways -You get R&D done, nothing bad happens but mining never delivers their minerals so you don't get anything fun. -You get R&D done, Mining delivers but the shuttle gets called before you can use any of it. -You get R&D done, mining delivers and someone breaks into your office and kills you. -You get R&D done, mining delivers but something destroys the console before you can do anything fun. -Robotics breaks in a nabs all your acid/materials so you can't get R&D done. -You get R&D done, mining delivers and nothing bad happens so you get to build your mech+Iron man suit and actually have a rare amount of actual fun.

that's hippie science though. hippie's rounds tend to be far under one hour most of the time with the rare +1 hour rounds now and then, of course science isnt gonna get anything done unless both them and mining are competent and fast (and lucky with ore)

play botanist instead

Being competent at science is still fun though, even without mining you can get some fun toys.

botanist is only really fun if you unleash lexorin bees

Last i remember doing as Botanist was watch as my fellow Botanist just made weed and smoked it while resting on the floor The entire shift

i need to stop making traditional cargonian superlasers

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;52279303]i need to stop making traditional cargonian superlasers[/QUOTE] Do tell

[QUOTE=Tagger;52281137]Do tell[/QUOTE] a few days ago i helped one enterprising quartermaster build a superlaser consisting of a very dangerous and hodgepodge collection of about twenty emitters focused down to one point using prisms.. the beam was powerful enough to crit someone who accidentally touched it for any amount of time and blow up a borg. due to a rogue AI, we rerouted the laser out to the hallway, where it killed about 14 people, including 3 or 4 rogue borgs. i have been trying to recreate that laser in a more controlled and controllable setting

Will Hippie actually get any better any soon? I played a bit yesterday and things were worse than I remembered: broken features that worked months ago, the players were even worse, and that's about it but this is pretty bad still.

I generally am used to how things work on hippie, but it's honestly very easy to get killed by someone who knows what they're doing to the T It's why i never play antag as i am sure i'd just instantly get fucked over since i know nothing

The issue is that the killing part happens too often, if not literally every round there, and it's always deliberate.

Honestly it's why i've been searching for a new regular server to go to You'll always end up getting killed over something Even if it's their objective sometimes, it's still not all that fun I still remember my worst experience being that i was put Robotics with a changeling and they just killed me right away at the start :v: [editline]28th May 2017[/editline] Like at least allow me the privilege of even starting the round, putting someone out instantly like that is just mean

A regular murderboner did something neat recently. He shut down comms and AI, then one by one stripped and abducted everyone via cuffs and hand tele into the misc test chamber in science. Eventually he returned and said last man standing gets out alive. Even though I died, I was rather pleased with the change in routine.

We had a rebase going for six months (of which about three weeks where spent actually working) so when rebase was deployed it was outdated and buggy. So the new host just said "fuck it" ported butts, farting and a few QoL changes to the latest /tg/ and ported that over and THEN he had a brainwave to set up a bot to port every PR /tg/ makes that can be selectively merged or discarded. In addition all hippie unique changes are being moved to a unique folder so as to reduce any update conflicts. The thing is, in order to get this rebase going, he instated a code freeze on our current codebase until it gets done so current codebase has been stagnant for a little while.

Honestly the only reason it's hard to switch servers is that i really am used to the box and the way things work around hippie I just mostly want a server like it but without the playerbase being really terrible to play around

If you can get over the difference in codebase, the admins there run a tight ship.
