A very long time ago, I made it so the captain's space suit gave moderately better run speed. With sealab change I'm sure it's no longer present but I wonder if anyone noticed that it was there.

definitely, I stole it every round and used it as my go-to crime suit

The Captain does have his own diving suit, it's blue. It doesn't have any special features that I know of, but it's unique.

Oh, it just has a description of Command Suit or something. I thought it was like, the heads got them. It doesn't change color with the NTSO suit reward, though!

Are you implying that vampires are like some sort of reverse-Superman, that are harmed specifically and exclusively by Earth's yellow sun, and that any other star in an analogous position would not have the same effect?

No, I'm implying that all stars harm vampires.

But also yes.

I really REALLY like the new map, but at the moment the rounds just feel like chaos for chaos' sake.

It's gonna be really fun to play once the novelty wears off.

Nope.

Just saying it's just all a bit over the top, even for this game.

Really? I logged in for the first time to check it out and observed part of the middle of a round.

4-5 people stood around in a bar talking about nothing for the entire time.

Another 4 people stood at desks or machines in different rooms. Once, I saw one of them move across the room to another machine.

1 person gardened.

And for no discernible reason, there was an injured clown wandering the hallways, doing nothing.

This went on for about 25 minutes without any change.

Isn't someone supposed to be trying to kill everyone or eat everyone or blow up the station or something? I feel misled by the OP.

put yourself on a 20 man round of donut 2

also note 2 crew: if you find tires for your sub remember to keep your treads handy as you may get stuck in door ways by drifting too hard, or an rcd

That was minor hyperbole, I did have a round where I led a strike against the bridge for increased wages which fell into a riot with tons of people dying.

I do like oshan, it�s just that too many rounds drag 60+ minutes for whatever reason

SnotGrumble: Jun 4, 2003; All men live in fear of him and his Moxie.

I have a hard time finding the tools I need to cause trouble on Oshan. I rolled traitor botanist, and spent most of the round trying to find a network card for my PDA so I could spoof messages. I ended up buying a few detomax cartridges and randomly exploding people�s PDAs. Then a rad storm hit, right before the escape shuttle docked. I was stuck in a maintenance corridor with a janitor and another botanist, so I told them I was a traitor, and ordered a loot crate for us. The janitor ran his floor buffer into the pile of poo poo that came out, and we all exploded.

Another round I was the bartender, and I worked with botany to get ghost chilies so I could make dragons breath. I put out glasses of it, and told everyone that�s what it was. People were still more than willing to drink it. I guess what I�m saying is, sometimes:

I flooded the station, emagged the borgs, and set the buddies to purge before exploding three times in the shuttle.

Oshan is good.

Ive broken fluids by spreading moderate to large (huge) amounts of stuff on the floor. How does the game cope with space being replaced by water?

So the system for late-joining players arriving had the potentional to set you on fire if there's enough oil on the floor when the human torpedo crashes into the dock, as I found out tonight. Or maybe it was because I was right behind another torpedo and they collided? Either way I exploded into flames.

Better get Oshan OSHA on the case.
