I have a very RP focused opinion, but I think its MUCH more soulful to see people making barricades out of vending machines and flipped tables. Its a lot more cinematic.

Hijack used to be fun as a shipside role
Now it’s just cryo on red
Maints knew what they did with this change and the primary reason they removed the anchoring instead of removing them altogether from shipside (as they knew what the general reaction would’ve been)
Gaslighting your playerbase - so hot right now

Admin chat leak (totes real): “Hey guys, so as we know there is a population-burning connection incident going on right now - it’s the best time to merge a bunch of anti-fun changes!”

Obviously it is necessary and existance of grieffers would not only be accounted for, but expected. To create the feeling of paranoia you gotta have an OOC threat, then true emotion can be felt.

Almost everyone on the ship is armed, one gun lunatic might kill few others, but he will get gunned down himself. Knowing that next round is in just few minutes means your death isn’t that bad.

Through this you could really find genuine cooperation that isn’t enforced by rules, just by two, or more people trusting each other enough to not shoot on sight, but still keeping an eye on themselfs in case somebody tries a trick later.

As I mentioned it would be easy to code as the only substantial change is a rule one, which is just a text you can add and then advertise on forum, discord and server.

Come on head admemes, give it a shot.

It is at the very least worth a test merge.

“Improve don’t remove”

Hey let’s practically remove a core mechanic from marines during hijack! :smiley:

Honestly sick of this shit, it’s just making me cryo as soon as marines EVAC, it’s just a xeno victory lap most of the time anyhow. They should just remove hijack if they are going to screw around with it this dreadfully.

The thing about going “well half of marines cryo on hijack, that’s how they know we don’t like it!” is that before the change, half of the xenos would ghost at hijack, especially ones where tons of marines evacced. It’s the same thing, just on the other side.

Remember when sailors defended their ship from boarding with HESCO and concrete barriers indoors? Was really amazing, I was shocked when I learned that CM13 was actually first based on these very real events

Tbh just give the command tablet a button that says “fly off into space”. You’re on a fucking ship, why on Earth would you ever just hang around the planet filled with a million aliens that just overwhelmed you? If xenos wanna hijack they can actually get onto the Alamo when it’s being launched and fly with the marines. Otherwise the round just ends after command hits the button.
