Spessmen on a Space Station - SS13 - /ss13g/

That's when youinterview, cross examine, and get any witness testimonies recorded instead

Or just lie if you feel strongly enough about it. No HoS has ever read my paperwork as detective once.

>interviewing, cross examining and getting witness testimonies
I'd love to play a game of ace attorney in space too but, normally speaking if you don't resolve that shit quick they'll escape somehow and go murderbone

People will fucking lie or hide information about what they saw even if they had LITERALLY no fucking reason to hide it just because everyone on this fucking server loves to fuck over security in any way they can

Probably checked the manifest and saw Trinity as the only other security and finally lost it

She pulled through in the end though and got that shuttle called through xenogeddon

I want to get into mapping, what's a good git tool for the local rep? I remember one mentioned in some step by step guide image but it isn't on the wiki.

How to play detective (if not solo sec)

1: Downtime: You'll probably have 70% downtime per shift. In downtime I like to watch cameras, I check usual blue apc spots (core, incinerator, telecomms) or watch borgs as they are a moving camera. I also like to get supplies for security, flasks full of DD/Coffee are great and quite easy to obtain if there's somebody in medbay and there's a bartender (they'll be willing, they just want somebody to talk to for once).

2: Actual crime solving parts

>Corpse has been found
Get security to tape up the area and block access, DON'T LET ANYBODY TOUCH THE CORPSE, DON'T SEND IT TO MEDBAY UNTIL YOU'RE FINISHED, go in and scan the corpse first of all, then scan entrances and exits to the room, scan blood, scan things that could've been used for a weapon, examine (loot) the body and try to see if there was perhaps a PDA message showing intent from somebody. Then perform an autopsy to determine exact way they died, then return to crime scene and piece your little story together. This will work 90% of times, Veeky Forums players are idiots who never cover their trails. Infact you could probably skip almost all these steps and just scan the corpse and doors, you'll find a murderer a lot of times that way. GIVE CORPSE TO MEDBAY WHEN FINISHED BEING AUTISTIC

>Break in

Quite simple, scan doors, scan locker if stolen from locker, scan break in point, scan potential escape routes, scan the disposal doors so they couldn't just flee via disposals, scan the disposals switch so they didn't flush their disguise into space.

>Other advice

You aren't security, don't patrol and be arresting people for assault and what not. You solve major crimes like grand theft and murder and then tell the officers who to arrest. Don't do these minor tasks, they're a waste of your time. If you see somebody breaking the law, tell them off, most times they'll just stop since they assume you're real security.

git.
Learn the CLI (or, at worst, use the provided GUI).
Do not touch Github for Windows.
Pick up another flavour if you're really interested, but git does everything you need.

Also be aware that mapping is a fuckton of work for very little payoff.

Last thread i posted a picture of BYOND not working for me and i told admins once about that sometimes i have awful connection problems out of nowhere
Right now im having the same problem, but i won't ick ock about it, i think its a computer problem
But i do hate rounds that involve few sec officers and trinity, its a pain in the ass

>Kingcrimson

who would've guessed. he probably random'd HoS and got mad and left.

ZAS is a farse
most external airlocks are hardmapped to not let any air through
pic related: the room will never, ever lose pressure

What do you expect from someone with a Jojo meme ckey?

You know, since their ckey means King Crimson It Just Works.

Ironic, considering we're all just 21st century schizoid men.

how would i get mad for being one second into the round?
If i dont want to play any more i tell the warden or a trusty officer and give him my shit and tell command to promote him and suicide in my office then
I was this nigger

I know connector ports and thermal plates don't have any volume, are there any other pipes that don't?

All pumps, filters, and mixers.

My bad, thermal plates do have volume, I've been rused

Thermal plates don't have volume though, are you sure?

I think so, this canister has less mols than it started with and the only explanation I have is that the plate succd some of it

>this canister has less mols than it started with and the only explanation I have is that the plate succd some of it
Re-run the test with a volume pump digital valve loop to ensure every last drop is sucked out. A connector will only equalize the mols between the pipes and a canister. It won't drain it completely.

Scientific method; Connect two connector ports together and wrench a single different canister down, then place a single connector port with a canisterand tell me what happens.

Oh
Yeah that makes sense

This should be an effective test.

Warden should also order medkits, shotguns, shells, and energy gear crates. Ideally, you can have some fuccboi run supplies to a willing robotics for ed's or at least securirons. ED's cuck murderboners so hard

I want to run a gimmick as officer where I make a whole robo fab or steal one from robotics and just pump out a billion EDs/Beepskies

Or just do it every round possible

Something like this. The regular squares are connectors, and the blackened square is a thermal plate. Make sure you use your analyzer on the actual connector itself if you're suspicious. In retrospect you should have just done that.

We have emptied an entire canister of oxygen into a manifold-thermal plate pipenet. The canister originally had 1870.8 mols of oxygen. The manifold has 278.6 mols That leaves 1592.2 mols missing.

Try scanning the thermal plate with the analyzer.

>this graph

>Waiting until someone spawns in as a diona before you put it in the deep fryer
I'm a bad person

if space is cold
why can't you just kick the canister out and have space cool it for you

You don't want it to catch hypothermia, do you?

Thermal plates can't be scanned by analyzers.

The missing mols aren't in the plate, or the manifold. They are in the volume pump itself.

I assume for the same reason having a canister of really hot gas in Toxins doesn't turn the room into a furnace. The cans must be insulated.

Nah, that makes too much sense.

Canisters are made of VERY good insulating material.
Space won't cool a canister full of gas for the same reason that a canister full of hot gas doesn't heat the air in a room.

Canisters like all standard pipes are insulated. The pipes that are labelled insulated on the pipe menu are actually ultra super insulated.

>volume pumps carry mols
>volume pumps lose mols inside of itself
DON'T TELL ANGELITE

When new canisters are added the volume pump limitation is overcome.

SPOILER
this was a good round

After repeating the test with a gas pump the result was similar. There is a discrepancy because I was wasteful.

I conclude that it isn't the pipes. It's the pumps.

Cargonia that round

Unrelated, post music relating to different jobs/events likely to happen with said jobs

This was a very good round

I do have some experience with ss13
but pretty much anyone is more robust than me.
are the servers that are being posted here mainly made up of experienced players?
do i just suck at this game?
or is it perhaps a combination of both?

So how do you cool a canister without wastage?

Plates may or may not have pseudo volume. Connectors do have volume

THEY MAY TAKE OUR LIVES BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE OUR GUNS!
CAAARRRGOOOONNNIIIIAAA

Valves.

dont have a volume pump right before the connector, duh

Away mission was impossible without deathsquad-tier equipment.

Are you gonna join my unlisted test server and grudge me?

Beats me

Who is robust is decided by the winner. Get dirty.

>That Mule chase
I love you guys so much

It's called captain

I've only been playing for two days and I did alright in anarchy, although I heard something about there being a lot of new players lately

This suave mother fucker just got your waifu's number and is calling daily.

What do you do?

Get antag and murderbone, it is one of the most effective ways to get over deer-in-light syndrome or the combat shakes

Pussy.

I wonder what got into them though. I didn't even recall adding spiders.

You can shoot a hole and get through

Yeah, Your IP is 127.0.0.1 I'm loggin' in right now. Prepare to get robusted kid.

Go to genetics and turn myself into a QT then cheat on her with him.

I noticed their force field was draining the whole station, much more than their AME could support, so I turned off station power and it went out almost instantly.

DAMMIT

Is that the meat packers map? why do i know that?

I think I was the only person that had a hardsuit when jumping there!
Okay only HUMAN with one

Salvage shuttle jump any that shift? One might have been spaced or I dunno cause that makes no sense

FUCK.

throw floortiles at him until he dies them cook his tentacles like pasta

Go to genetics, turn myself into a waifu and her into a husbando

Now I can safely rebuff the alien's advances without being worried about my partner being unfaithful

Let him penetrate my cervix instead

L E W D

Relatively robust player here, play security and set all antags except nuke ops and cult to "yes" and you'll get robust eventually

People got and get robust by playing the game and putting themselves into situations where they improve, continuously

You'll have no problem getting all the basics down by just playing security whenever you get the chance

When you get antag, murderbone and kill everyone you can. You test your limits this way and you get over the combat shakes by putting yourself into high stress situations repeatedly. You also gain more experience on how to survive and not get fucked this way than any other single way of playing

People hate you for murderboning but they get over it.

Away missions are protected z levels you can't get in or out via level crossing.

Things you need for ANY away mission:

Some kind of weapon
Some kind of space protection (chemical, genetic, viral, mechanical, whatever)
Some kind of good luck charm

Tools are usually useful as well.

Always take a multitool, it's the only way to re calibrate the away gate so you can return

I had no weapon because cargonia
I had only the hardsuit
And as for good luck charm, I got all my limbs turned into borg limbs so that was my anti-luck charm
RIP

If someone writes an-away mission theme thing would admins look at it?

Sure will

>someone keeps pushing her

dohohohoho

NOT TODAY MOTHERFUCKER
GOOD LUCK RECALIBRATING THAT

I'm quite decent at 1v1 or 1v2 but when I have to fight more than two crewmembers at once, with other security officers, I seem to lose my aim and concentration.
I'm afraid to hit the other officers and I refrain from using flashbangs because I fear they will do more bad than good.

I was also collecting a lot of junk during that round, which ended up clogging my inventory, and I forgot to reorganize it before the fight. So there's that too.

I really need to stop fucking around on the VR shit so we can go crazy with the contents of the mission, or simply tag everything inside it and have the gateway emancipate it portal style on the way out, all but the things you want them to have. Latter sounds easier.

I've spotted some behemoth flaws with ckey transfer so i might have to look into some sort of camera view trickery and movement transfer instead, whatever happened to that PR with the remote control borgs stuff?

Would it be just writing an idea or somehow making the map as well?

It died.

Yeah no, a deathsquad in marauders would have trouble.

Get flashbang practice. Banger and shotgun 1-2 guys. Flashbang again, if there's near chairs bucklecuff one then harmbaton lock 3 until they're dead. You can kill 5 man cargonia solo. Six if you have a combat shotty

To clarify, when we first entered the gateway there was only one queen and three spiders at the spawn point
Still more than enough to kill everyone

Go ahead, ideas are always handy

Already planning on making the beach away mission something more extensive.

and so too have my ambitions.
Fuck it emancipation grid it is then, only other way I can think of content control.
