Remove stimulants [...] the thunderdome becomes less fun for the people who enjoy them with stims.
Why not just not using them ?

I was recently informed that we are being outdone by TG in clown-related technology. They have an overlay for when your character gets a pie in the face! We need one of those - it's harmless and humiliating, like when a clown messes up your lipstick and you look like an idiot until you go take a shower.

TG has H.O.N.K mechs and Bananium, too! How are we being outdone in ridiculousness? WE ARE GOON, THE MOST RIDICULOUS AND HYPERBOLIC SERVER.

No but really, the pie overlay would be nice to have. Mechs aren't a thing on Goon, so a clown space pod and even submarine would be great to have. Bananium should also be a material which is somewhat slippery and honk-y, as in, any sound it makes is a honk and whenever it impacts with something it honks, floor tiles have a chance of slipping you and honk whenever you walk on them.

The clown is just a moron in a tasteless outfit. Doesn't even have any cash (or competence in general), how the heck're that gonna get a custom space ship??

A button at the bottom to make you hold something with both hands. It makes you a lot more resistant to having you object shoved, and if you fall you might have a chance to revert to holding it in one hand instead of letting it fall, the chances of either happening could be adjusted for balance.
Doesn't apply to objects that need to be handled with both hands in the first place.
Obviously, you can't use your other hand while like that, either revert back to one hand or drop the object. When you get of of the object it automatically switches back to default holding.

If it was assigned to a key, it could get pretty convenient as you could switch mid combat between disarm resistance and holding a support item to heal you or incapacitate the ennemy.

Maneater plants should pop out a plant zombie of anything it eats. The plant zombie would contain the eaten party's brain.

A blinking light on the cloner console that a scanned person can be cloned.

Maybe also a note by each of the entries telling if that person can be cloned. And maybe a clearer reason why they can't. I mean I know that "Unable to initiate" means they're either alive, disconnected, a critter, or part of a ling, but it would be nice to know these things since sometimes it means "check back later" and other times just "don't bother."

Remove gang. Forever.

In the past it was boring, now it's just a bunch of self-antagging jerks murdering everyone they see.

A-help this.  Gang is effectively an opt-in team death match meant to avoid people who don't want it.  Non-antags getting caught in a crossfire is one thing, but if people are using it as an excuse to go on a rampage, it's really shit.

Soulsteel objects should get a variant of Whisper that slightly garbles messages and has a longer cooldown.

new secret chems that increase and decrease your sprite size

yes. maybe you could be picked up like an object with grab intent depending on your size, and if you have an ID on you and someone clicks on a door using you, you get smashed into the door and it tries to open it using your ID

the space ikea catalogue allows you to spawn swedish furnishings with space age technology... as long as you keep it funded!!

it is pretty much a wizard spell book but with a flag of sweden on it, and obtained by giving the space ikea bird some swedish meatballs


RE: Ideas of questionable quality - aft2001 - 10-10-2018

how about a space ikea in the debris field, where you can buy flatpacks and assemble the furniture back on station

Traitor-only "Malevolent Soulsteel" or "Eldritch Soulsteel".

Like normal soulsteel, but ghosts who possess it have free reign to attack anyone other than the traitor who bought the soulsteel.

And maybe some other changes to make Malevolent Soulsteel objects more 'evil', like a Malevolent Soulsteel Locker just opens to a black void and destroys anything shut inside, Malevolent Soulsteel Instruments playing music that causes LSD-like hallucinations, etc.

I feel like this would be better as a wiz thing, being able to summon things like living swords or axes that give ghosts a prompt to join, similar to flock partition
