... can drones use VR ?
they're already simulacra in reality.

Because the Captain and HOS start with energy guns, the HOP can give themselves all access, the MD has a tranq gun, and the RD has literally all of science at their disposal, give the CE a stun baton or similar weapon so they aren't more vulnerable than the other heads of staff. My idea was to give them an upgraded version of the craftable stun gloves, with the same stun duration of a baton or flash and able to hold more than one charge.

a Stun gun for all heads along with possibly having armor for the CM that helps protect him from harsh conditions and possible bludgeoning/shootings since engineering is less about being quick and more about knowing what you're doing while you're doing it. Also give him a bat, that'll teach them grey shirts a a lesson about stealing gloves

Whilst buttless : what if 1%-ish chance to drop a more flavorful text than the usual grunt-but-nothing-happens ? No sound obviously.

Rubber Johnston purses his lips and blows. It's not convincing.
Krauss T. Fanny makes a foul-smelling hissing noise.
R. S. Hole does some armpit singing. Rude.
Butter Absent peels some eggs.

Honestly I feel like there isn't really a whole lot distinguishing heads from their regular crewmember counterparts. The only time being a head really matters is if you're a HoS or it's a rev round. I don't really have a problem with giving heads more toys and powers to set them apart.

Now that medbay and security get fun disks to play with regarding our cloner records, could QM gain the ability to order more blank floppies? I really don't want to steal disks from mechanics all the time as I'm sure they do some cool shit with it too.


RE: Ideas of questionable quality - Superlagg - 03-05-2018

Upload cloner records to CentCom and let the QM order clones. Uploading would be done from the cloner console and need a connection to the comm dish to work, and it takes a while to upload a batch of records (with a distinct sort of dial-up noise). Once there, the QM can order a shipment of replacement crew, which would arrive in a bunch of lockers in a merchant shuttle sometime eventually. All of the bodies uploaded to CentCom would arrive, but if their ghost is unavailable it just pops out as braindead or with Assistant AI.

+1 Would absolutely love this on LLJK1 with the rounds taking so long, I hate having to quit when I get offed near roundstart

This would be interesting to see, including how it would work for puritans, since we can still scan them after all.

You should be able to put light tubes into laser guns to change the color of their shots. I want a Samuel L. Jackson purple laser gun!

Bonus: Shooting a laser gun with a tube that's been injected with plasma will cause an explosion.

Bonus #2: Shooting a laser gun with a tube that's been injected with pizza will shoot pizzas.

Using a vuvuzela near bees should cause them to follow you or gather around you.

The amplified vuvuzela causes nearby bees to attack those struck by it.

What if someone made a superpatch that implements most or all of these questionable ideas, and is only active on the 13th ?


RE: Ideas of questionable quality - LuigiThirty - 03-06-2018

The Swedish accent should not filter the word "bork" so Swedish chefs can bork bork bork all they want without it coming out like burk burk boork.
