I think an apology and perspective is warranted. My tone hasn't been great and I'm sorry for that.
I also apologize about the poll. I don't think it should have been added and by the time I noticed it was there, it had enough votes that I thought it would be bad to remove it.
And for some perspective, just did a live test of how long it takes to traverse the station. Cogmap1, from outside the botany pod bay to outside QM.
Regular movement: 35s
Pulling a welding tool: 45s
Pulling an empty crate: 60s
Crate packed full of things: 70s
35s more at worst for a full station traversal. Please be chill about this. It's not the end of goonstation. We are listening to feedback and a lot of things have been changed since the initial implementation. I'm looking into ways to make sprint-pulling a better short range option that does not re-enable the ability to juke pursuit while dragging a victim and simultaneously clubbing them with an extinguisher.
