When I first stumbled upon CM (and SS13 in general) on my own, I was really excited but also lost because I didn’t know the rules or basics. Despite that, I decided to stick with it and figure things out on my own. I know that it can be tough for new players who are just starting out without assistance. I believe that I have enough patience and experience to support others. That’s the main reason why I want to be a Mentor.

A screenshot or transcript of your human and xeno playtimes:
Directional slash is a setting which allows to slash target rather than sprite-clicking them. You have to click behind your target for attacks to land. You can enable it by writing “Toggle-Directional-Attacks” in console or by going into top right tab → Preferences → Edit characters → Settings → Toggle Directional Assist.
To attach attachments to your weapon you have to click on a gun while holding smart scope in your active hand. You also don’t need to stay scoped in to avoid hitting your allies. But keep in mind that the smart scope deals less damage and is compatible with only a few weapons like M4RA and M44. Anything else I can help you with?
Lesser drones can only communicate after three minutes of being alive. This is a game mechanic designed to prevent unwanted metagaming.
In fact, it’s not your ping! It’s more of design feature that prevents runners or lurkers from moving for a short period after pouncing on a marine.
The red heart indicates that their heart is broken and they need a doctor for immediate organ surgery! Otherwise, they could be permanently deceased.
UBS stands for under barrel shotgun and EB stands for extended barrel. For more slang terms you can check out this wiki page Slang - CM-SS13 - Wiki
You can fix your chat by selecting OOC in the top right tab and clicking “fix chat.”(I doubt they would be able to read my reply. In that case, I would try to explain them using Imaginary friend )
You can directly place queen’s eggs into an egg morpher to instantly receive facehuggers. (I assume they already know how to plant eggs/digest bodies)
SEA Actions
If I was ordered to dial OB I would inform XO that I cannot follow an illegal order. SEA is meant to act as an enlisted
First, I would explain types of damage brute/burn/tox/oxy/organ Then I would introduce them to their equipment and machines in medbay (headset, med hud too) and how to actually deal with these types of damage. When I make sure they keep up with information I would show them how to treat Internal Bleedings and only then teach how to handle chemline.
I would explain that their main responsibilities are to follow orders of ASO, XO, CO. Besides that they have to monitor marines, using supply drop pods, provide them with information and organizing them. I would also mention that good SO is never a silent SO.
