So, the new map is apparently going to be a facility on an asteroid and not a space station. How do you all feel about that? What kind of new and exciting shenanigans could we get up to, and what are some good ideas for the layout?
I believe it would be wise to use this topic as a breeding ground for ideas so they can be refined before they're shipped off to the suggestions sub.

I think that being on an asteroid outpost would be awesome! Its going to give a completely different feel and setting and going to make this server very unique along with being special. I hope that the map is going to be smaller since we don't have as large of a player base at the moment. But back onto the topic of an asteroid...think of all the cool new events and items we could have seeing as this is no longer a space station but an outpost.
I personal cant wait to see what cool and awesome new RP we get from this.

Well Tuiee... that avatar is fucking beautiful..and we plan to have a bunch of glass walkways huehuehuehue from asteroid to asteroid Hee hee... I don't see any way an antag could exploit glass walkways to their advantage... none at all.  And it is a pretty avatar, isn't it? Tom Baker is one of my favorite incarnations of the Doctor! |

Speaking of which, if I throw a wad of cash at the server can I finally have my dream of receiving a med analyzer with a subspace amplifier sprite fulfilled? That shiz looks exactly like a sonic screwdriver. Oh, and my coat and scarf outfit, along with my bow tie, once I get them sprited and coded properly. EDIT: Dang; we derailed this sucker in record time. |

Well, I already posted in the other thread thingy, but I just thought I'd post here about how awesome I think the idea sounds. It makes much more sense for the entire map to be an outpost rather than a station. As the whole purpose of it is to research, if I'm right. And I think that being on a whole asteroid practically made of plasma makes much more sense for this.
I do disagree with Tuiee, however, I think that it should actually be pretty huge, with lots of hidden, different ways to break into different departments (hehe). Considering we're on an entire asteroid, I'd assume that a big one would be chosen to maximise research potential and the amount of plasma we could get. Maybe with it being on an outpost, a few more jobs could be added? Like bridge maintenance or something? I'd imagine that an outpost built onto an asteroid would fall into disarray much quicker than a floating space station would (dust (?), potential for micro-bacterial life etc... just ideas really.)
Anyway, looking forward to what you've come up with so far.

I think you mean you disagree with Tool . Those are some mighty fine ideas, though! I really like the idea of a maintenance worker for the 'roid, however, the "maintenance technician" sub-role for engineering could be applied to bridge maintenance instead of creating a new job. And thank you very much, Tool! That's fantastic! |

Actually, it turns out I disagree subdigital sorry about that. And yeah, I was kinda hoping someone better than me could pitch in with some new job ideas, hehe. I couldn't really think of anything other than stuff becoming eroded by the asteroid's surface... I suppose every job (minus clown) would fit in just-as-well as they do now. Just thought it'd be interesting to try and come up with some new ones. Some that involved quite a bit of EVA work to look after the outpost from the outside as well as the inside. |

You'd be hard pressed to find something that takes EVA that engineering won't already do! I'd like to see one, as well, though. Perhaps if the gateway could be implemented a whitelisted "explorer" job could be created?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. And I agree with that! I've always wanted to go on an expedition with Science to see what's on the other side . And if you're an explorer, you can research the different plants and stuff you bring back. Killing everyone and everything in the process. |

I was thinking there could be a big asteroid away from the outpost chain, and within that asteroid... CAVES. For maximum dungeon crawling.
Caves filled with things like alien shrines, dangerous mobs, loot, etc etc. Perhaps it could provide a reason for being out there besides run of the mill research?
Space Zombies...

I like that idea. I like it a lot.

Oh, I like the caves idea. Randomly placed loot, perhaps? Something along the lines of katanas and red space suits, along with your standard archaelogical finds.
Dude. The loot could be in, like, carp dens. Remnants of fallen adventurers, reduced to naught but a pile of bones in the hoard of a pack of space carp.

Well, i noticed that the whats their faces have a asteroid station, and it looks CONFUSING AS SHIT. Not very round and such. Still, kinda sweet.

Well, i noticed that the whats their faces have a asteroid station, and it looks CONFUSING AS SHIT. Not very round and such. Still, kinda sweet. As far as I can tell, theirs is one single asteroid, whereas this one will be lots all connected up via small corridors. Could be interesting with new Objectives for Traitors. "We have been keeping an eye on the research going on in the science labs. Sever the connection with the main station so we can pick up the facility later" |
