target practice

[NateTheSquid]

add an area to the station/off station that's full of mannequins, or training dummys or something, that rack up damage like a person, and display something when they would have died as a human, for target practice, or maybe even modified gun testing

Those kind of test dummies have been wanted for a while. I think we had a suggestion for something like a testing area in VR that was pretty good. We have the code for most of the chems/items these days, so it's not like secrecy is an issue.

As for actual target practice I just use the critter arena.

This used to be what monkeys were used for, but then they were given their AI, which happens to be brutally effective at violence.

Doesn't that make them better at training?

Makes it a bit harder to see how many toolbox-hits it takes to put someone in crit when your training dummy picks up a fire extinguisher and hits back.

There's always cuffs and bedsheets and whatnot, but having proper dummies would be neat.

vr is a good place to put such a shooting range. then youll be able to cleanly spawn in and out static dummies or vr staff assistants or whatever

only if you can load items into vr as they are, to test the way you made the caps antique laser, or a bomb or whatever. pretty sure the bomb testing vr thing in science doesn't work properly btw

We have clowns for this sorta thing, ya'know.

so you want more of a holodeck room so you can bring crap from outside into it. better than having to run thru the monkey supplies. then it opens to door for holodeck malfunction bull shit to befall us too, itll be great
