Whoever was the HOP traitor that stung me 2 minutes into the round, dragged me into the office and drained me, you are both an rear end in a top hat and extremely good at what you do, nice work. (I waited several hours to post this, but I was screaming "you loving rear end in a top hat" at the screen at the time)

It was completely empty but I hung around in there and then the captain came waltzing out of his office, and I got super lucky and socked him a good one and knocked him down. I farted on him and was on my way to flush myself down disposals when he spat acid at me.

Easily the best part of being an antagonist is setting yourself up for minor griffing or working someone into a furious rage before casually murdering them with a terrible one-liner. Bonus points if it's a regular who utterly loses his poo poo.

The other day a guy kept trying to assassinate me with various methods and every time I would disarm him or otherwise incapacitate him, then wink and fart on him. Unfortunately I later died of an unknown illness brought on by eating a purple wad of goop I found in a maint tunnel.

Coolguye posted:There was a revamp to the dismemberment system that made all robotic limbs break, and like people have mentioned there's still a couple issues with arms. I've not tried treads since the revamp because I rarely get someone in my surgery bay with both legs gone. They usually just have one gone, and Robotics starts with some spares I never use because gently caress giving robots legs, they deserve treads. That's why you chop off the other leg if they come in with one too many! Well, when it was working. One fun thing about tread surgery was that doing a double-amputation and then welding the treads on barely puts a person in crit from full, so every single surgery became a scene of dying spacemen gasping about betrayal and death until you whipped out the patches and fixed them up. On the other hand, a traitor roboticist could easily murder guys in plain sight and pass it off as a disastrously incompetent attempt at tread surgery even to the victim, if cloned.

I just had a traitor Captain round that turned out pretty entertaining, against all odds. Despite overwhelming lag from early on, a triple murder objective, and a traitor surplus crate that basically handed me a boring rampage toolkit and nothing else, I had fun. Programming the AI to believe that humans required fire to live was pretty funny, and one of my targets murdered a clown, which allowed me to walk right up and pummel him with the police baton from my crate without anyone doing much about it, though he managed to flee while I looked for the saw so I could confiscate his limbs. Before long there was fire all over the place and roving lynch mobs hunting the clownkiller. A Botanist was also handing out Rainbow Melons, adding to the insanity. The total anarchy let me walk the halls in full Syndicate Command Armour; nobody gave a poo poo anymore, because I wasn't fire or lag and was therefore a secondary concern. I bought some erebite off a trader in QM and threw it around in the engine, which was good for a laugh. By the time the shuttle arrived, the station was so on fire that my lungs were burning constantly. A singularity also appeared near escape! I gave myself CPR somehow, but it was a losing battle, so I bequeathed my traitory possessions to a random assistant, ate some rainbow melons, farted, and died. At round end, all three of my targets had been claimed by the perilous hell I'd turned the station into. Making everything as fatal as possible through vast and intentional irresponsibility is the best strategy for a traitor Captain. And of course some joker incinerated the shuttle with hellfoam in the end

amuayse posted:Hmm, you're right. My main problem now is getting cold loop to start up fast. Back then, I could just get it running immediately with a just one plasma tank, but now, I have to wait about 15 minutes for cold to catch up and produce power but by that time, hot loop is exploding. I tried one and a half tanks, two tanks, two tanks and a tank in cold aux, I can't get massive outputs beyond a few gigs. You need to vent it periodically. What you do is use the hot loop vent that flushes out by escape (it's the valve over the firelock to your left as you go up from the starting Engineering room towards the engine room). Every now-and-then just open it for a split-second and then close it. The power will shoot up, dip a little, and then rise steadily from there. The ratio you want is two tanks of plasma in the cold loop to the hot loops one, and make sure ALL the pumps are set to one. That way you won't have to worry about them until around the forty-minute mark. Do you know about removing certain floor tiles?

Cut the floor under the combustion chamber ports, the hot loop ports, and the gas sensor on the cold loop on the north-east side of the main engine room. It's the one one square south of the gas tank.

Bloody Pom posted:On the subject of security, sec officers and the detective should make use of the forensics system more often, it's incredibly satisfying. In one round as detective I managed to snag a traitor scientist by finding his prints on the barman's riot shotgun. After setting Beepsky on him for unlawful possession of a firearm, the HoP and I managed to corner him in the crew quarters. That was me! So good, and I was really impressed with the forensic work. My favourite part about that whole thing was that a) I considered spacing the shotgun too but thought "naw, no one ever checks for prints" and b) running to the crew quarters was not planned at all, nor did I know that my mindslave had been hiding bombs there. It was amazing!

Bachelor Numpad posted:What the hell is "the crown" and why is it so coveted? The straight dope is it is a hat, guarded by some fairly robust critters on a station out near the debris field, when you wear it it does stuff both too and for you. When you are shot or hit it teleports your assailant away at random, sometimes into space. It disables the use of certain poisons and healing chems. It causes constant brute damage. Can't be removed. Instagibs you when you die and leaves behind a teleparticle shade and itself, waiting for new victims. Depending on circumstances it can be super robust or a completely fatal waste of time usually the latter, its basically just another Cool Thing In Space like the voltron or the strange relic.

Nope, the only traitory things I did were turning the AI into a pyromaniac, beating the hell out of Reginald P. Farthing (I consider the clownmurderer bounty I put on him to be legitimate law enforcement  ), and chucking exploding rocks into the engine. I saw another traitor wandering around with a cyalume sabre, and there were several other antags in the round-end summary.

Ran around the station making spooky skeleton screams with a bunch of other skeletons and then my PDA blew up, taking my right arm with it. Figured I didn't need it and threw my arm at a wall, ran back to my office, and continued working on getting familiar with this whole water thing. I ended up getting it down and took my trusty mop and bucket through the bar. Right after I passed through, there was a horrible explosion that took out the bar's lights and judging by all the blood and gibs, probably killed everyone who was hanging around in there. Which was perfect. I started mopping everything up and even set down some wet floor signs outside the bar doors. A few fist/gunfights raged on right beside me and towards the end something started sucking half the room into a void, but I just ignored it all and merrily mopped away as a one armed skeleton janitor to the soothing sounds of Space Jam.

So tonight I was the captain, Jonathan Livingstone, during an ice spider round. The ice spider queen inexplicably (telescience, presumably) ended up in the monkey pen, where the AI bolted it in. However...quote:Dr. Yassin [145.9] exclaims, "AI YOU gently caress!" I managed to reset the AI, losing a leg in the process, and after fixing myself up, starting a meth addiction to move at a decent pace, and finding myself haunted by Unknown, a random dude who stole a cloak, I put together a flamethrower and went off to secure Medbay. I opened the door to Robotics, and... quote:the baby ice spider hisses! x4 However, after a few seconds of that, I managed to get to my feet and bring the flamethrower to bear. quote:the baby ice spider dives at Jonathan Livingstone, but misses! At this point, I'm in the operating room when in walks...a monkey with a backpack, Rahad Hashem. quote:Jonathan Livingstone has been laid on the operating table by Rahad Hashem. Alas, in the end, I merely ended up assisting in the natural lifecycle of the ice spider. Jazerus fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Jan 25, 2014 |

The best thing to do with tank transfer valves is to make a bomb that is a dud and hurl it into a group of people. It won't hurt anyone because it can't explode but, it'll still terrify everyone and cause a hilarious scene.
