bro we literally have syringe guns that can hold any type of syringe why would we need chem bullets when you can shoot a bluespace syringe of gibmix at someone

[abstract nimbus]

Glad you asked!

When you use syringes, they take up a lot of space, you have to keep refilling them and also retrieving them. This can let you get caught somewhat-off guard, and can lead to you dying.

With chembullets, you can just put a gibmix into the whole magazine, and you don't have to waste more of the mix than needed. Just shoot until they die, then stop firing.

You also don't have to pick up chembullets but i think that goes without saying.

Also, the remote gives you a BOX of ammo, so around 4 mags.

This could also have stealth applications, like getting a cap-gun or silenced weapon, then shooting a bullet filled with lead at someone. Sooner or later they will have to go to med, where you could dispatch them without sec noticing.

Technically this could be done with a syringer, yes, but they'd see and pull the syringe out, and most likely alert sec aswell.

[primal cloak]

let the scilathe print regular borg weapon modules when emagged, and the secfab prints the advanced one when emagged

[sly pumice]

Wouldnt it be the machine fab thing, not the scifab?,

it has to be harder then just find exofab to make a fully armed borg army

I think the sci fab can make the exofab soooo yeah it still is

Reading this idea gave me an idea,
Make it so emaging an actual syndie pda that has uplink open, makes it so the next person to open syndie uplink causes the pda to explode like a minibomb

[abstract nimbus]

When the alert level gets set to red, a crate filled with security flare guns and 12 gauge should spawn in the security armory so they can give tiders a shitty gun for self defense

[sly pumice]

This already exists, its called the secfab
Also the reason its red is usually because a tider did something soooo

[topaz citrus]

I will enhance it further: the explosion power depends on amount of tc deposited in pda.

Yes however when alert level gets set to red (or god-forbid Gamma) sec usually doesn't hand out guns until there is a confirmed threat, at which point 4 people who came to sec fastest get drozds and shotguns.
Everyone else just has makeshift weapons

[sly pumice]

Almost as if ward and hos should be more selective on who gets the good weapons and give craftable renewable weapons to the crew instead

[rotund breach]

Enough antags that they genuinely start killing eachother, and all sec needs to do is Hold Out.

[sly pumice]

If a chemist allowed someone into their box, and didnt notice them sabotage their stuff, then they deserve their meth/octogen to explode

Just pull the dead chat logs from a game

The thing is, people can add an indicator to their message that wasn't there before the medium was added like "[real] ................."

So unless someone wants to consistently change it, a dead person being meta friends with the medium can ruin the round

u spawn on a seperate grid and must send spam nanochat messages to crew on the station to siphon money out of their departments funding

[quick sluice]

DO NOT REDEEM

[uncut moon]

Make it only work on litterers(people who have put a trash item on the floor and not picked it up or spilled a liquid on the floor), and also, mop the floor should actually mop the floor along the person's direction of launching.

[sly pumice]

Make moproaches able to do this, though they cant grab and their harm does no damage so they basically can only push spam

tajaran BSO pops out from the NTR's duffelbag like a jack in the box and blows away the foolish ontoganist (skill issue)

The contagion engine: 100 tc item job restricted to viro. Works like powersink/tx miner in that once activated and attached to the grid it makes an announcement and that it’s traceable via its power draw. After a startup time of 1-5 minutes (I’m no good at balancing) every minute it spreads a random disease to every non-traitor crew member, starting at moderately severe and growing in severity for each new disease created by it. Why? Funny dagd item! Also more shit for people to mald about getting from a surplus crate.

Papers Por Favor:

Each crew member has a document listing their features (name, height, job, planet of origin, favorite color, etc. Players list this in the character creator). This is in their PDA, and can be printed from there.

Every time someone wants to change their job or get new accesses they need to show HoP their Crew Document as well as an Access Request/Job Change Form.

Hop can insert this paper into the Station Records Console and compare it to the record the station has. It comes with a discrepancy detector. Hop (or people with access ) can change station records using this computer if needed.

Only if all the documents are correct, then the hop can stamp the request form, and fulfill the request.

Donk CO and Waffle Co would be alerted if the other company had an agent on station (the syndicate on syndicate violence would increase significantly!)

If your cybersun agent or gorlex, you are alerted when a loneop spawns or if in the RARE offchance its stealthops AND your a syndicate agent who is SPECIFICALLY part of gorlex, you get alerted that there is a full nuke squad incoming.

If your trying to impress the wizard federation, you get small and vauge notices whenever somthing inherently magical appears on station (maybe its a coscult shift or maybe there is a wizard inbound to station! you dont get specifics)

If your a corporate climber you get a notification anytime CC is faxed or CC sends a fax to station

Since infected got nerfed so bad, add variants akin to the xeno variants

These variants, or mutations, would begin manifesting after the zed has been alive for more than two minutes, however they do not cause the body to become uncloneable (because getting RR'd sucks).

Some examples for said mutations :

Fast Zombie

• Innate 15% faster movespeed
• 50% lower movespeed penalties
• Pounce ability -- basically the moth dash
  // The playermodel changes into something akin to a flayed one with missing skin (think HL2 fast zombie)

• 15% Damage vulnerability to blunt, pierce, and slash
• 30% Lower infection chance on hit

Brute Zombie

• 35% resistance to blunt and slash
• 25% resistance to pierce
• Doesn't get slowed down by having low health
• Deals 22 blunt per melee smack, regardless of species
• When hitting someone, the target gets thrown backwards and stunned for 0.1 seconds, similarly to a hard throw
  //The playermodel changes to be larger, with their hands being visibly more buff (think of the Tank from L4D but not as extreme)

• 15% slower movespeed
• Gets slowed down for 0.1s after using a melee attack. This slow reduces their speed by 50%
• 60% lower infection chance per hit (they are smacking, not slashing)

Slasher Zombie

• Causes a 0.1s slowdown upon hitting someone. This slow reduces movespeed by 50%
• Upon striking someone, directly injects 5u of gastrotoxin and gives 3 bleed stacks
• Deals 12 slash damage per hit regardless of species
• 10% Higher infection chance
  // Playermodel changes to have elongated sharp teeth and claws (Think of the glyphid slasher from Deep Rock Galactic)

• Teeth and claws glow in the dark
• Gloves and helmets cannot be worn due to said claws and teeth (causes helmets to drop and gloves to turn into cloth)
• Zombie noises are made more often, and sound more rabid-like

Actually getting a mutation along with the type of mutation depends on the following factors :

Species
Age
Random chance

are we just gonna gloss over the zombie suggestion i spent an hour writing-

[sly pumice]

Chap only has like, good slash protec?

[sly pumice]

Shasher shouldnt just be able to murderbone at the start, they should have to mark a target and stalk them for a bit, playing ominous sounds and appearing once or twice before attacking, with limited time they can be manifested before disappearing, until they crit their target, where its paused, until after they spike them

[hollow pulsar]

each chap armor has different protections last I checked. Pretty much all of them have no pierce protection, some have good slash/blunt protection but make you take bonus heat damage,

[subtle fractal]

that's the old armor, new armor is like 50% slash blunt and heat, and like 10% pierce with no slow down, there's only like 2 armors i think that have different stats

The station is replaced with a multilevel vertical silo/bunker.
All departments are replaced with new silo counterparts:

Judicia: Confiscate relics and process hearings.
Law: Investigate and respond to crimes. Put down potential rebellions. Make sure NO ONE tries to open the silo
Janitorial: REDACTED
Cafeteria/Farming: Make food and farm for the silo inhabitants
Recycling/Scavenge: Process discarded goods for anything useful
Maintenance: Maintain the generator at the bottom of the silo and fix any mechanical issues that may arise.
Medical: basically unchanged
I.T.: Fix any computer issues the inhabitants might have, as well as maintain the servers used to manage how the generator power is spent.

Items can have multiple tool qualities, and each quality has a number indicating the quality of the quality.

The number indicates how fast the action is done, butchering is for slicing up flesh, either on the rack or ground. Fine cutting is used for surgery. Cutting is for slicing up material.

Every bag has a set weight capacity and if you go over that your bag will start to rip and eventually be destroyed with all your goods pouring out on the floor.
