Just as a theory craft idea for a stealth run on making a cloner as an antag I think the approach I would take is going to the asteroid field and breaking into the engineering outpost to grab a device analyzer and soldering iron, I would head to the Bee ship in the debris field and grab some honey I would then head to the small botany ship in the debris field and plant some synthmeat plants with a dab of saltpetre and potash in the trays.
While they are growing head to medbay posing as an engineer or support staff member getting scans of equipment is an easy bluff, hell you could just ask for a clone scan and discretely scan the equipment if you play your cards right, grab some extra steel and and copper from public fabricators or other accessible places for materials like steel sheets and wire etc, return to the botany ship in debris field grab the synthflesh to use as biomatter then head to the asteroid field engineer outpost drop the analyzer scans in the ruck print out what you need then take that stuff to wherever you wish to set up the cloner.
Is my approach power gamey? maybe... using my knowledge of the maps prefabs etc as meta knowledge? most likely. The approach remains discrete and its set up time is maybe 10 minutes? depends how quick you can get into the engineering outpost and how quickly you can deal with the drones around the botany ship. As for the cloning alert im not sure if a signal jammer from the syndicate listening post would block it, if that wouldn't do it I don't know what else would or how you can discretely acquire a body and clone it.
If I was going for the stealth antag approach or wanted to set up the gimmick before drawing attention to myself that is probably how I would do it, what do you guys think?
Base on your previous about RP reason support rush to grab honey / Engineer outpost is metagaming for speed run cloner which is quite not good in RP server.(still possible but not recommend) .
