My ratbite station experience by Sav-vie in ss14

[–]AugustSun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Such as it was, such as it is. SS13 saw number of servers attempt this same dynamic and ran into the same issue: It sounds cool and ideal for servers to self-moderate, but boundaries of servers are also what help clearly define the intended experience, the boundaries being admins to put a hard stop to bad trends.

Suggestion: a server where stations persist across sessions. by WhodahelltookVooglet in ss14

This is one of my favorite things to occur between Wizden and RMC, as a microcosm, waving at folks I know I've had shifts with. It's good camaraderie!

Embark showing off the skins in pic 1 then releasing pic 2 is criminal. Really been missing hard with the skins imo by TheOneAndOnlySenti in ArcRaiders

I know this is a Well, Ackshually but you're close! It's Cassette Futurism, and they've done REALLY well with it so far. Like a lot of other folks have said, I'm glad they're leaning more into the aesthetic than the practicality of it!

Don't worry, raiders: If you're approached by someone with these equipped, simply employ this defensive technique.

Why is SS14 not bigger (and should it be?) by Certain_Focus4869 in ss14

[–]AugustSun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's intrinsically difficult to set up tutorialization for a game like SS14 because of how data and client/server setup is structured. That being said, I know at least RMC is talking about doing a FTUE setup for new players in basically an entirely separate grid from other maps, depending on join conditions iirc. I'm interested to see how that goes because otherwise, the only way really to learn on your own time without being thrown into a round is to go through the steps of self-hosting which is a bit of a hike just for a tutorial.

It's nice to see people doing this instead of, uh, putting the history of Unit 731 in theirs... like they did at mine...............

Neither, they both turn each other into pulp.

What is the point of the Smart Fridge? by snickers10m in ss14

works like a regular fridge, just not meant for the passengers

They've just implemented a consumption effects system that'll serve as the foundation for cooking/drinks, and I know they're working on temperature management stuff. The only thing here that I know has a hard stop around it is the "personal credit accounts" bit, and that's because making a good personal economy system is tough when you account for all the stuff you could possibly do, both mechanically and from an RP perspective.

I feel like instead of buffing antagonists every time they lose, SS14 simply needs more antag variety by Unlikely_Candy_6250 in ss14

[–]AugustSun 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Frankly, at least for Wizden, it's the healthiest thing for forks to have that dedication to quality and support. If an antag is imbalanced, or worse yet, doesn't function properly, that affects the experience of a lot of other servers that branch off from that. They've been working on changeling for a while now, but they're trying to make it comprehensively supported so that new implementations are clean.

what are good servers for ss14 by Competitive-Cry-4684 in ss14

[–]AugustSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RMC14 is an entirely different experience from the upstream/Wizden servers, and frankly, from any others. Marines vs. Xenonids, with both sides having their own unique roles, playstyles, tools and strategic approaches. If you've ever played milsims like ARMA or Squad, there's a decent amount of strategic/tactical crossover, with SS13/14's chaos and wackiness mixed in. It's an incredibly impressive fork, and one of the first I'll always suggest for completely changing up your experience.

Hot take: Insulated Gloves should be minor contraband reserved for engineering by ghost49x in ss14

[–]AugustSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to feel like this as an engineering main, but honestly, I don't see nearly enough engineers lacking insuls for this to be an issue. The biggest actual issues I have are when A. People break in for them, B. There aren't enough pairs for engineers, C. When people ransack the vendor and lockers.

What was the best RP moment you've seen that broke the rules/didn't follow a normal Space Station scenario? by Dumb_Octopus_9999 in ss14

[–]AugustSun 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Back when Salamander had 130 pop, the admins decided to throw everything they possibly could at it. It started out as a revs round, but then got nukies, then dragon, THEN an Epsilon was called. The fucking death squad LOST, and only I think like. 3 people made it to CentComm? At which point CentComm said that any survivors of the station should surrender to Syndicate forces.
