Cogmap 2: *** UPDATE TO BYOND 509 ASAP ***

[Archenteron]

There's only one thing I can see that I don't really like and that's the fact you need to go into maintenance to get to the monkey pen for Genetics.

I can see people just breaking into there all day long from Maintenance, stealing monkeys and Changelings going crazy to get into there too.

Considering we're still riding the afterwaves of "Hate Genetics Because They Exist And Are Shit", this seems like a feature.

[Mageziya]

I also don't like the maintenance monkey thing, but the problem more-so seems to be that the monkey pen is at the edge of the station and that the design of this station uses the 3-pathways mapping idea. A glass-walled catwalk around the monkey pen and pushing the pen inwards might work.

It looks like the mass driver to the off station place will miss the door

There's a gigantic post on everyone ranting about Genetics not being social enough with the crew, and by the looks of Cog2 It's only going to get worse, they're separated by space through one window, the other window Is maintenance and the entrance is through 2 doors.

They could literally (Without any intervention) Hide away x10 on this new map then they ever could on the current one.

I'm kinda liking the placement of that thing that looks like it's supposed to be the armory.

http://goonhub.com/maps/cogmap2#l=186,149,1;z=2

Can the crates be hacked or bombed open? I feel like the reinforced floor is just screaming for a traitor to break in through the back, throw a pipebomb, and then snatch and grab the guns and use the cargo belt to escape.

It feels like some tg style vault thefts could happen and that would be sweet. Except instead of cash it's guns.

Actually if you added a large amount of cash inside that HOS was in charge of keeping from being stolen, that might be neat too. It could aid in traitor get rich objectives.

If this means I won't be able to packet-send my way into the armory, I'll be very sad. Understanding, but still sad.

Two things. Genetics is arguably more public now because it is connected to a main corridor. Also the maintenence corridor it is connected to only has 1 public access point.

[atomic1fire]

The one thing I kinda noticed, but it could just because it's not done yet, is that there aren't a whole lot of APC's.

APC hacking is the lazy man's breaking and entering. And it's really fun for traps like explodey power cell or surprise stabbing.

[MaRcuSTheDAWG]

Oh, what is the new power source underneath the TEG?

[Cogwerks]

That engine is a spacegame imitation of various 1970's-contemporary laser-ignition fusion reactors, with the goal of using materials-based lenses and beamlines and hell-lasers and whatnot. Not that much of anything's really been coded for it yet though. Plasma fusion, I guess, probably using fusion targets of plasmastone (again, using materials and chem to make fuckery with other materials possible.) Gas-based steady reactions are also a possibility. Or I might just say fuck it and rework the engine mapping to run the current way so it doesn't hold up map release forever. I'd originally proposed the TEG rewrite with the goal of it being the generator slotted in with any sort of heat source, including fission or fusion ideas.

Sorry this dang thing is taking so long. Moving to a new state, job hunting, job loss, job-rehunting, no internet at home, various depression and grump spirals and minor problems becoming crises due to being broke as hell, etc... a shameful cogwerks hasn't been very productive in awhile.

[pizzatiger]

i have NOTHING to be sorry about even though dang thing is taking so long. Moving to a new state, job hunting, job loss, job-rehunting, no internet at home, various depression and grump spirals and minor problems becoming crises due to being broke as hell, etc... a unlucky cogwerks hasn't been very productive in awhile.

Fixed that for you, Those are no reasons to apologize for. Specially with this being a dumb spessmen game that isn't as important as your real life

If this means what I think it means, traitorous engineers will have something much more entertaining than the singularity or hellburns...

Doom lasers.

[RAWK_LAWBSTAR]

I wonder how much damage we'll be able to cause with the laser.

[Mageziya]

If you need to feel better cog, remember that your work is and will be enjoyed by an odd crowd of fart-obsessed people that live literally all over the world.

Cogs, we don't give a fuck bout map and server when you have personal problems. Do what you must, goonbro. Good luck.
