While I can give other players admin powers on my server, is there a way to lock myself (for example stopping my access to the bank)? I'm not playing captain this campaign and I want to make sure I play like that.
Reading the wiki, med doctor has loads of talents for boosting potency of medical items. Wiki says this means items with medical tag, but also has medical category. Would these talents boost poisons and such, or only "beneficial" items?
Got husk symbiosis, doctor is close to xenobiologist. Got a few (bad) genes from outpost. Using an advanced gene splicer, what would you say are the best genes to put on? Preparation for when we start the mass genetic modification of the crew. (nobody else has husk symbiosis and the doc keeps trying to calyxanide me)
While I recently joked about my engineer screwing around my doctor is an even worse threat. Beyond comprehension.
On a mission, I'm joking around, giving everyone haloperidol, claiming they are all insane, and thinking about taking alien blood just to enjoy some psychosis. I don't actually do this however. Strangely though, I start hallucinating. "Oh, they've given me alien blood, how annoying" (even though I don't know how they would have done it). I take some haloperidol and it all calms down. But then it returns. I keep taking haloperidol. It keeps returning. I search everyone on the ship, trying to see if anyone has anything for causing psychosis (nobody does). Doc and mechanic check me. I have psychosis (clearly). Mechanic laughs, says "nothing." At this point I'm beginning to develop psychosis irl, it's driving me mad. I'm searching the wiki for anything at all. Doc sits me down for therapy in crew quarters. I'm role-playing insanity, puffing several tobacco pouches. It doesn't help. Alarms blare, water floods, fires start, but I've grown used to these hallucinations. Doc goes to grab something. And that's when it hits.
I was on the deliriumine poisoning page. I read the flavour text. The exact text they read out to me earlier. They'd mentioned it earlier, and I'd straight given them the recipe. I bolt up from the bed and rush medbay. No antidote. No matter, I scream that I've found it, I know what they did, and it's all figured out. Up the outpost stairs, across the hallways. Speak to the medicine merchant, hand over cash. Jab the antidote straight in. They (mechanic and doc) trail me. I've threatened several things, such as blowing myself up if I can't figure it out, or threatening to sudoku via cyanide. But no need. I rush the doctor, hand over some marks. Psychosis is gone. Mechanic and doc are right at the door. Doc loads a syringe. I cry "I've got it! I've done it! I healed myself! You poisoned me! I knew it!"
*Thunk* I shut the door too late. Syringe in leg. I feel the numbness, my legs beginning to fail. Paralyzed. They walk into the room. I don't hear what they say. While the numbness spreads to my torso, I cry out elated. I know what they did, and I'd planned for this anyways. "You're going down with me!" *Click*
The timed detonator in my pocket activates, starting a 0 second fuse. Boom, the regular C-4 blows. The outpost doctor, the mechanic, my doctor and me, all blow. They all die instantly. I lie there. Unconscious. The paralyzant has spread to the rest of my body now. The husk kicks in. I heal, but still can't move. Mechanic respawns, heads to me, and uses the anaparalyzant I keep in my pocket for emergencies like this. I get up. I lived. The sirens have gone quiet, molochs and husks now faded. No more do phantom flames lick at the walls, and ghostly waves lap at my feet. I'm free.
Anyways doc and mechanic try to gaslight me more, I see evidence in server logs, though I had to check files because this happened over 2 rounds. Mechanic admits he bought drugs and supplied doc. Good fun had by all, doctor wants to become ship counsellor. I joked they are an anti counsellor. They GIVE you depression, they CAUSE mental disorders.
Their name? Chadsley Malpractice Benedict. Dr. Malpractice.
(not really)
They keep jokingly shooting me with RFS (Without husk I would be dead, I've just gotta grab antirad quick or I pass out.)
They keep shooting me with arc emitter (stopped being fun the third time)
The only truly silly thing they did: Coalition vessel beneath us, its just me and the engineer. I'm in gunnery, trying to shoot them down. My engineer suggests using nuclear depth charge. I say absolutely not, given how close we are we'll both blow. A few seconds later, I see the light of the sun, my engineer dies and I suffer injuries. Somehow I survived the blast, despite being somewhat closer to the enemy vessel. We ended round soon after but still. Karma works strangely.
(This isnt hating on them they are chill, just wanted to share my stories)
Apparently, according to posts from several years ago, yes, but it might've been patched out.
What do you consider your favourite ship class (or ship) and why?
Personally, I love transport simply because they are so large and homey. Camel was fun (though my security officer hated it with a passion), and I'm currently using the R-29 Big Rig. Got a lovely captain's quarters with a premium view, the only unsatisfied person is our medic, since his medbay turned to a med-locker. Planning to move up to the berilia, I am intrigued by the bar.
Since I enabled destructible outposts (because the coalition got a little too hostile and I thought it would be more immersive), I've found a variety of new warcrimes. I've already used my husk powers (not symbiosis yet) to go out and essentially flood the place from the outside, while my friend waltzed on in with a diving suit and harvested the bodies. Lots of loot (and Maurice got fed well). Probably the best part was a security guard managed to find the only diving suit, and came after me. Unfortunately for him, I stunned him and removed his diving suit. Also unfortunately, he was only mortal compared to my quintessential form. My engineer has suggested nuclear armaments against the next outpost we visit. Given there has been no contact with earth for 50 years, there are no laws governing conflict anymore and I'm free to do what I wish. What do y'all suggest we try next outposts? Force for the forceless.
Tldr warcrimes are fun and I want to hear your ideas about it.
