Okay a few guys were shit-shooting the idea in IRC about some players spawning as various space aliens that could be the existing mutations or some other strange resprites of humans.
no then everyone would just pick aliens: I was thinking there could be a low possibility for certain jobs, botanist having a chance of starting as a weed-smoking fishman, like in those sweet QM deals. Assistant could be a myriad of rubber-forehead men, dudes with like 100 eyes, and other creepy shit for spawnchance. Simple sprite differences that would have literally 0 ingame effect.
B-But then they're nonhuman: For this, there could be a possibility of an 'alien worker pass', which just says like (TEMPORARY HUMAN) on their ID, after their job/name. This means that according to the AI, borgs, and whatnot, they would be technically human as long as they had a human pass. All bets are off if it gets robbed/destroyed, but it would at least serve as a bit of insurance.
How would this add to the whacky fun of SS13: because having strange looking humanoid aliens is a staple of any scifi + it would be super neat. I'd even be willing to try some funky human-ish alien spritings.
