Just had my first Traitor round as a Mechanic and had a pretty good time emagging things. I did end up on the receiving end of my own emagged Beepsky, but a kind Sec Officer valiantly fought him off and defended me. I spent the rest of the round bolting half of door pairs and then dropping mousetrap pipebombs covered in metal. I don't think anyone else noticed me the whole round, just my results.

I've done that too, it's powerful and fun as gently caress. One thing I've always wanted to do and I've only attempted once unsuccessfully is to get heat resist, set myself on fire and use myself to light syndicools and chuck them at people. It leaves you really vulnerable since it's basically your only defense but I think it's hilarious.

I managed a less-lethal version of that trick with Fireproof, regular cigs, and drinking welding fuel. Unfortunately, when I finally pulled it off, fire was buggy and acted more like jello.  It was really entertaining when fire was acting normally and I burnt myself to death repeatedly. (And accidentally caused the death of a fellow security officer who didn't know how to stop, drop, and roll. Sorry about that.  )

How did you even do that? Did you already ice the cake with half of the ingredients, and then re-ice it with the other half? Edit: Speaking of, when you bake a cake out of something that you deep-fried, do the reagents that you poured into the deep-frier transfer into the cake? I.E. if I tried to make a Fried Hotdog Cake, and I deep-fried the hotdog in bourbon, would eating slices of the cake make people drunk?

Let me answer both at once! GOONSAY: Admiral jimbob: I deep-fried a thing in 5/6 Azide ingredients, then made a cake, and used the 6th ingredient for the icing GOONSAY: Admiral jimbob: figured it would only explode when someone ate it and the reagents combined inside them GOONSAY: Backifran: heeheheheheh GOONSAY: Backifran: nice GOONSAY: Admiral jimbob: it did not quite do that GOONSAY: Admiral jimbob: the cake exploded and blew up half the kitchen as soon as I added the icing GOONSAY: Backifran: you misunderstood chemistry GOONSAY: Admiral jimbob: spigot the gone

So I've also been collecting all player deaths for a while now. With the help of Mysha I managed to create an all-time death heatmap. This thing groups all deaths within a 3x3 tile radius on a grid, so it's not exactly tile accurate (which is why the corridors seem "safe") and it ignores all rounds with super low deaths and super high deaths. It is only really useful as a very general idea of hotspots. But yeah, turns out the place people die the most is...  Everywhere

Clearly the only solution to avoid an untimely death is to immediately leap out of the station airlock upon arrival and head for the "green" space zones.

We were talking in deadchat today, this is a nifty suggestion, would a particle lab be something fun to implement? Working with things like discovering ways to use neutrinos or discover dark matter would be neat.

Dr Cheeto posted:It's an interesting concept. How do you see it operating, and how would it interact with and potentially benefit other departments? I could see maybe the discovery/conversion of dark matter into energy being used by engineering, the discovery of manipulating some elementary particles (lets break some symmetry), or maybe even making anti-matter. I thought this up all on the fly but I find those being possibilities. How it would be done would be a different story, I really feel like science doesn't need more math or DWAINE, but needs to find a way to be userfriendly. Perhaps a small bombardment chamber or a condensed hadron collider. Dauntasa posted:Holy poo poo is that a green splotch across chem? What?

Makes sense - if you're going to be attempting a dangerous and foolish experiment in five minutes and the guy next to you just blew himself into crit and you save him, he owes you when you blow yourself into crit.

Let the particle lab research upgrades for weapons and such, but more importantly, use it to research tools that can close spacial anomalies, wormholes (i.e. a secondary pod weapon that creates a field around an area the stops other pods from warping out), black holes, etc. Right now, if a black hole randomly or "randomly" spawns, the whole area's hosed. And also tools to create all of the above. Give the particle accelerator a chance to open a small black hole that damages the lab before fizzling out, so it doesn't ruin the whole station. Give it a space where various things can be put in, like a block of metal/piece of research equipment that will let you measure the effectiveness of the new particle beam you've created. Also, make it possible to configure the device in a way that if put a person in that space and turn it on it turns the subject into a being of pure energy.

"Right now, if a black hole randomly or "randomly" spawns, the whole area's hosed..." Well yeah, that's intentional. You don't stop a black hole event, nor should there be any way to stop it.

I would like a way to contain black holes and then do something interesting with them like turn them into portals to an otherwise inaccessible zlevel or something. Edit: Maybe it could be one of those high energy cost optional things that was talked about lastnight that actually makes use of an engine outputting a lot of energy?

Geokinesis posted:Fold it into Artefact Research so that AR actually becomes something fun to do. Artifacts now become exotic matter that the particle lab must study. E: How would it work and what would it do. Someone finds exotic matter, it gets put in some sort of big machine and messed with to discover what it is. Have this machine be a mass spec, that can be hilariously unsafe if used incorrectly, to find out what a substance is. Make it so the matter can be a mixture and add a centrifuge to separate it out, this also can be hilariously unsafe in that if not set up right it can fling things across the room at great speed. Add an accelerator so these exotic matters can be broken down into stuff like particles with negative mass, tachyons, and gravitons. Another cool thing to have would be a reactor so the job isn't stranded if there is no one looking for the exotic matter in space. These new materials can be interesting reagents that do cool things themselves and awesome things when combined with other jobs. It also gives you a way to enrich uranium if you ever want to have a nuclear engine. Azuth0667 fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Nov 22, 2013 |

So far all that's been suggested is 'add particle colliders and maybe they can make black holes? lasers??' What about a large hadron collider that really can tear holes in the universe? Create your own new materials to make things from. Or cause horrific void accidents and pull creatures from beyond mortal ken into reality! Stick it in the debris or mining z-level and have the actual collider ring open to space, so you can have some utterly hosed outcomes without the station suffering too much. See if you can turn it into a portal for the Almighty Cluwne to honk his way through into your world  .

Just started and am already enjoying myself. The basic controls don't seem too bad but I've watched about a dozen or so videos and read some wiki pages to try and have a chance to understand what to do. Hopefully I'll be a chef soon so I can start making burgers all the time. And hopefully not cake that summons cats that beat the health into me. Well, not to begin with anyway

So far all that's been suggested is 'add particle colliders and maybe they can make black holes? lasers??' I just enjoyed the thought that maybe something else science can actually do. What would be interesting about a particle collider is maybe lets say this: Dr. Dick and Dr. Dave are working on the SS13 HC, and after enough of *insert thing I haven't thought of* they accidentally stumble upon a containable form of matter that has extremely volatile but powerful properties, they send the highly unstable element down to the mechanics, who manage to combine it with a energy cell casing to create an extremely powerful battery that has X+ the charge, at the cost of it requiring much higher power to charge and intermixed with failing. Later, after Dr. Dave died in an awful accident, Dr. Dick fired photons into a portal in telesci and waited for the reflection of the photon back at the instruments to help assist telesci in pinpointing an exact location. I'm sorry that was a probably long incoherent stream of consciousness. I just see it having potential.
