Porta sci program removal thread

(05-02-2021, 07:27 PM)Tarmunora Wrote: reposting from discord, since people there were getting hung up on adventure-zone stuff since the intent behind the change was not necessarily made clear:
Main reasons were:
  - detrivialize/encourage-proactiveness-in getting out of sticky situations (can't just ask AI for the portasci[remote] when stuck)
  - Reinforce that the port-a-sci is the RD's toy, in the same way that the NT syringe gun is the MD's, or the RCD-C is the CE's

Frankly, I don't see the second reason as valid when it clearly hasn't been that way for years. If you want the RD to have an exclusive toy, give them something new because the port-a-sci has been claimed by the department at large.

I also think that the "issue" behind the first reason is actually a good thing.

Getting lost, stuck, or trapped somewhere just straight up isn't fun. Having a reliably accessible escape option for when you inevitably fuck up and accidentally wall yourself into an asteroid is, honestly, very cool.

(Also, this change doesn't actually even address the first point since people can still ask the AI for the port-a-medbay program as long as they're not stuck on a restricted z. Granted, the AI will have to manually recall them, but that's only a few extra seconds tacked on)
