A little Question and Answer Thread.

[Superlagg]

What exactly can you do about telesci metagangs? You know the type - 4/5 players teaming up several rounds in a row, one of them usually joining as HOP/Cap and granting the rest all-access at roundstart, before they robbing mechanics and sec blind and spend the round looting the adventure zones. Attempting to stop them usually results in them promptly getting released and tossed in the brig yourself, and then rounds go on for hours because they hold the shuttle hostage until they get what they want. It's not really true metagaming and certainly the sol nerds would never have gotten as far as they did without some degree of coordination, but the same few nerds doing it every round with impunity gets old.

Turn off the mainframe, preferably once most of them are on the other side. If they might turn it back on, find a way to delete the bridge APC or mainframe, or start clipping wires in the bridge. The teleporter is useless without the mainframe, and even power cycling it off and on will leave it unusable for about a minute. If you've killed the bridge APC and want the shuttle, use the console in the CEs office, then smash the console.

If all goes right, telescience will be beyond pissed and there's nothing they can do about it!
