The crown is being lovely again, two traitors just got hosed by a geneticist with the crown who had it on for the entire round, along with multiple superpowers and was untouchable (it spaced one of the traitors)

also, people can heal again while wearing the crown now, allowing them to be the super cop untouchables they used to be.

Seriously, or they start wearing gas masks. In the past at least you could stun them and take off their mask to see it wasn't an operative. Now though with the DNA scrambler you can't trust someone cause of their face. I do hope the admins will be on your side for clonking a jackass that does that.

Actually, you can already use a taco shell in-hand to break it into tortilla chips. Those can then be dipped into bowls (that I'm sure are just full of salsa or cheese and not cyanide).

I watched that go down last night: Someone wearing the crown in a way so he couldn't die went up against a pair of armed scientists who were both regenerating and stun immune from abusing the poo poo out of whatever it is they do to break the game. It seemed to be an even fight. The crown made safe and stimpacks made to last for ages are both way more terrible than the artistic toolbox, and that thing is pretty terrible. They deserved each other.

Although the pod manufacturer lists a lot of stuff as "components", the traders will only accept items which can be installed in a built pod. Engines, weapons, secondary systems, etc. The best thing to do is buy a load of metal sheets, and then turn them into Cargo Bays to sell back, that usually gets you the most reward for the least work.

If your battery is empty, you can crawl over to a charging unit and put yourself in it, allowing you to charge.

If a roboticist takes your battery out, though, you are 100% hosed, and cannot communicate or repair yourself in any way.

Are you sure? Just two weeks ago, a traitor was going around removing the batteries out of borgs to griff them. I exited the recharger, sans battery, and after 15 minutes trying to mutely push people into robotics, finally managed to get someone to walk over and install a new battery, after I put myself in the recharger.

I mean, they might have changed something, but it's been that way for as long as I can remember. Just sloooowly walk over to the recharging station, then click-drag yourself into it.

Yeah, that works unless the power's out and the roboticist fucks off for the rest of the round after "upgrading" you into a dead-battery shell with no teleport upgrade and then the captain steals the power cell you're trying to frantically, slowly, indicate he should install through movement alone. And the roboticist tries to claim he was going to install a power cell in you when you call him on his poo poo in after-round OOC. I could SEE two fully-charged ones sitting on the table, why did you loving leave!?

Why yes, I am still bitter about this thing that happened weeks ago in my 2D spaceman game, why do you ask? :v:

Also annoying is the roboticist that intentionally builds you with no arms or legs. In my experience, that was for some kind of weird power play where he tried to verbally override the Three Laws. I don't know, maybe he was new and/or learned on a different server, because I also had to talk him through attaching my arms and legs.

Just remember, folks, there's a person on the other side of this cold, metal shell. A person that only wants to love you. :roboluv:

e: That sounds creepy. :v:

I love making torsoborgs, because it just mostly cripples them, it doesn't completely cripple them. Unless I'm remembering wrong, a borg with no arms can still use it's center "chest" attachment, so they can still do some things. They can still move around, albeit cripplingly slow. And they can still talk, bleating their cries of "ROBOTICIST WHHHHY!?" across the station endlessly. It's by far my favorite way to griff, if I'm a roboticist.

Edit: It also makes revenge for them so much sweeter, when a traitor eventually subverts them, and they use their one functional attachment to slowly beat me to death with a fire extinguisher. I'm just enhancing their play experience, you see!

Probably because it's not just an issue with roboticists (or SS13 for that matter). It's the age-old complaint that quartermasters don't fill orders; only instead of not getting you extra supplies that may inconvenience them to fill, you are being screwed out of a round because you aren't getting something that you absolutely need. It is the same problem, but with much more disastrous consequences. This is why a poor roboticist is one of the worst things you can have a bad something of in the game (right after AI and security chief, but even in those cases it isn't like they can quietly ruin someone's game and get away with it, typically they'll get brained anyway).

Of course this is assuming the roboticist wasn't a traitor. If he was, then it looks like you were just another victim :v:

There's plenty of metal available on the station. You just may have to rip the place apart to get it... Sometimes you can get the borgs to help you too. As long as you're not doing real harm to the station, it's okay. You don't really need all those tables and chairs everywhere!

Also the captain gets mad if you steal his desk.

So, after a considerable amount of time spent reading the old thread and watching videos, I finally decided to try this out.

I spawn in as a fresh-faced assistant, hoping to explore the station a bit and see if I can walk three steps without strangling myself to death. I immediately have to go AFK in the arrival shuttle due to random computer bullshittery, and when I return I find myself being beaten by a clown with a fish. He proceeds to steal my ID and run off. Dazed, I stumble out of the arrival shuttle to find a tourbot. I decide to let it show me around the station. Several dozen robot hugs and long awkward silences later and I finally reach the crew quarters where I swap my gray suit out for a glorious blue party dress. It's at this point that things start to go very, very wrong.

My screen starts flashing and I'm beset upon by ghost cats as the theme from Space Jam begins to blare out of my speakers. I do my best to escape from the feline apparitions as another part of the station is evidently vaporized by a supercharged slam dunk. As I barrel down the hallway, kitten echoes in pursuit, I begin to hear voices in my head confusing me and filling me with dread. These voices are quickly drowned out by the sound of a detective unloading a shotgun into me.

As I lay dying on the cold floor of the station, I could swear for a moment that I saw Elmo float by.

...Space Station 13 everyone
