We have an issue.
Quite a few Tajaran players.
Not that many Tajaran gloves laying around. or, any.
Or Tajaran viable jackboots.
Or Tajaran modkits for mining (I think)
Or whatever the fuck else the other aliens need.
I know they are in the code, Tajaran Latex and rubber gloves.
Probably should have them spawn in somewhere, eh?
Why is every sentence a single sentence, I dont know.
Butts.

There are no alien gloves or boots in the code.
I however wrote the code for a custom item of mine, for one of my Tajaran. Black gloves fitted for /all/ alien use.
The code is a simple flag, that could be applied with relative ease for aliens. Just a matter if Grand Dagon Skullykins wants it in.

Consideration: non-human crew is still in the minority, regardless of how many fluffly kittens we stuff into departments like Engineering.
As thus, alien equipment would be in relatively limited supply. Or, rather, would be an "on demand" thing, versus being readily stocked. As stocking every single station would require more resources than, at this point, simply shipping as per requirement.
Proposition: we work out department alien "kits", so to speak. Said kits can then be purchased at cargo, as per requirement. Some rounds, you can't be bothered? Alright, won't be bothering cargo then. Others, you want your hardsuit with a tail attachment? Sure, fill out a form and let's go party!

I like the idea of the cargo crates.

Skull has a point, the Aurora was most likely very expensive for NanoTrasen and they probably needed to cut costs.(I.E no turret defence, no shields, not a lot of stuff just for minorities)Also, I think that the lore states that NanoTrasen is racist towards all non-human races, if so would they really care if a tajaran miner needs a modification kit when there's two other human miners who can do their job?

I have Unathi Suit icons, which are going unused. I'd gladly give them to devs for the inclusion since right now Unathi have to mine in Unathi battle armor

won't someone think of the unathi
just think of all the poor, unfortunate lizards in our security force that have to stop crime in sandals

Out of curiosity. The hell would Unathi closed footwear look like? Just horribly large shoes?
Or, actually, here's a better one: Tajaran footwear. Depending on how akin the structure of their foot is to that of a normal cat's, it maaaay be interesting to ponder on XD

Tajaran footwear would be weird considering they're digitgrade and walk on their toes

By weird, you mean it would look awesome.

By "weird," I mean it'd either have to be extremely jointed, or very flexible.

Yeah, awesome.
I dont like shoes.
I like fancy weird looking shoes. Imagine some funky Jackboots, or some shit.
On a actual note, It'd be nice to be able to wear gloves without snipping the damn things.

Uneth footwear would be that in similar structure to there feet. It would most likely consist of a platted or woven(?) design. Generally it would be multiple, very flexible pieces of metal if we're talking EVA gear. Almost similar to that of Vox footwear, just more suited for a reptilian foot structure.
EDIT: Also, all the modkits. Modkit everything. Modkit whitelists too.
But modification kits to be ordered I'd think would be a good idea. Over all we're not an alien heavy server currently. I would only see minimal dedication towards supplying alien races by NanoTrasen. And no, they're not racist, not as a company at least.
EDIT: I should probably fix something. By Alien heavy, I'm speaking in a manner that, we always have humans out numbering the alien crew. We generally only see a max of 5 aliens per shift, so yeah. That was the manner I was speaking in.

How about toe shoes for cats. Shoes. For toes. Its fucking revolutionary.
And why don't we just superglu metal to lizard feet when they pass through CC. BAM. PROBLEM FUCKING SOLVED. Though we'll need several fine, strong specimins of the dominant race (humans) to hold down the primitive and apply our industrial genius. Our superior superiority is 2super4u. If you don't like our smarterness go to Raj'maral's Space Station Incorporated for the mentally challenged and obviously non-superior non-human peoples.
Or we could just use our super super smart science humans to make stretchy boots for err'one.

I always thought not being able to wear gloves or shoes was part and parcel of being a tajaran.. like it's just one of the things you have to deal with.. like the pros are night vision and claws, but the cons are like you can't wear gloves and boots

I thought you COULD wear any glove at no penalty if you snipped the fingers out of the gloves with wire cutters. But I'm probably wrong on that still being in. I just remember that any time I was playing Tajaran or Uneth, I could just snag a wire cutter and snip out the fingers and the gloves would still work perfectly, even though they'd have a new name (Mangled, or something)

It's so weak that it almost doesn't functionally allow you to see unless you've maxed your contrast on your monitor, which burns them out pretty quickly. I always wish someone would buff it to make some actual sense. And the cons of being tajaran is the not being a head, electricity and fire and any form of heat causes MASSIVE damage, and as such making them so easy to poison it's not even funny. You can just inject one with fifteen units of pepperspray and they just fucking melt. Although I can see the point, them lacking gloves means they are limited from engineering and surgery based things, which is a minor concern. Snipped gloves would not be clean, or stop electricity (which they do, currently, because how does electricity work, magnets or some shit?) And they have sandals. which are functionally the same as shoes, just not shoes. |
