From a RP perspective, calling the shuttle is basically mission failure, no? I mean, we're supposed to be researching plasma and what not, then the syndicate or whoever tries to mess that up. If we all go home, haven't they succeeded? Shouldn't the ultimate victory against a traitor be locking him in the prison compartment of the shuttle and just sending him home? Or failing that, sending his body, or just telling centcom you found and killed a traitor?

First off, no, because a lot of players dont like seeing the shuttle as the way to escape a fucked place only but rather choose to see it with a more utilitarian approach. But yeah, bring the traitor in the brig part or bringing his body back is in my mind a strong victory.

All of the things that are impossible to replace on the station last for practically forever, so in essence it is possible to play a round indefinately

Holopads are like everywhere already

There are a lot of holopads, but they way they are placed means that the AI avatar can't 'walk' more than like, 15% of the station. You can only walk about 7 tiles away from the pad, and most of the pads are like 12-15 tiles from each other.

They dont work how you are thinking they might. The hologram will ALWAYS be limited to range from the originating pad, cannot jump between pads automatically (because there are some areas where the pads are close enough where it would work if possible)

That's fair i suppose.

What about a singularity destroyer? An additional piece you can put in that automatically destroys the singularity if containment is breached? A saboteur can destroy a working singularity if they like.

Its called a bag of holding

Just found out my preorder wont be shipped until the 8th.. The costs of saving $20 

Alien queens cannot crawl through vents, and therefor makes vent crawling nearly useless to aliens in the macro stragety once they have a nest (since they cant bring stunned humans back through the vents to get facehugged). Once you know aliens are around, weld ALL the vents shut, contain the alien threat, then eliminate them.

I will run a temp server on my computer until KG restarts his, or when I turn my PC off for the night, whichever comes first. Click spoiler for the info.

It is running the LATEST TG build, so enjoy.

edit: I did a speedtest too, I get 20x better up speed that KG

It's a shame. I'm wondering if the Space Carp code could be optimized however, as they seem to do very little to warrant those kinds of cpu cycles.

Carp are not causing the lag on the server. KG believes its bandwidth related.

Or Byond.

Something to do with how the game handles everyone's health, which puts a massive strain on the game.

Anything more with a not-so-powerful server and poof, lag.

KG said the CPU he dedicated to the server was not being maxed out. That question was like the first two things I asked him after we started experiencing it.
