I do think sometimes there are too many antags but sometimes there are enough passive antags.
The reason the number was increased is so there is more to fight during rounds, but in truth... it now makes one overarching antag in a round less likely to happen.
It speeds up antag encounters by having more of them... wich keeps the action going but it also prevents antags from passively esclating and building up.
IT BECOMES TIRING.... Ooh this antag wants to RP and do a big scene aaaand.. there is antag number 2 blowing up the east wing... okay now antag 3 is killing an officer on the west wing... and ooh look antag 4 comes out of the woodwork and is attacking medbay.
At that point security and command is too spread thinly to even entertain antag 1 and kinda enforces vigilantism more... wich as someone who's often security see it happen a lot. Heck I seen people trying to kill antags I arrested as security more often. And I have to go.. KNOCK IT OFF.
Even if I am an antag it happens a lot... or I get dragged away to get beat up and die half way through security since security somehow didn't notice me being in critical.
I feel like antags lately just are more combat focussed rather then great big ploys. The ones that do.. tend to get overshadowed by other antags actively killing people.
THAT SAID... do I want to lower the numbers? No... we will get less aggresive antags as times go on. I'd say give it 2 months.. since a month ago... antags being aggresive has been more prevelant.. this month more admeme's are happening wich is great too. Though some I do see on repeat abit.
