In care you’re not aware the new antagonist: Vampires has started to bee(heh) testmerged on the rounds!!! please use this thread to give your feedback, suggestions, bugs and more! I’m making this thread on behalf of Ben Lockland/Mrmanlikesbt, and if you don’t know what vampires are or how they work i recommend you visit the github link that details everything(you can also report stuff there and it’s encouraged! here we can have a more lenghty discussion and proposals)

I don’t think I had the distress power when I was a vassal. Also, I wish when you turned into one it told you what clean you belonged to.

Overall I enjoyed it, really like that the curator has a interaction with a antag type now. Maybe curator should get a outfit to reflect on this? Could be a Blade reference

I see good ideas have been spoken in dchat and are planned to be implemented by mrman.
I’d like to suggest maybe merging more of the tweaks from other servers as they fix some of the gameplay elements that may be issues.
The lack of HUD to see your vassals can prove to be a problem but it hasn’t for me so far.
I’m glad to say despite the bugs I had, this was very much enjoyable and the community seems well adapted to the RP associated with this antagonist

I wish there was a way to actually detain vampire, since when playing sec during the testmerge we had to switch to lethals way to fast. Stun battons were worse than useless, disablers worked but with all the break out abilities vampire have they didn’t help much in capture. Fairly fast we switched to crit → pull into the sun or stake. Something that would let us capture them and keep them safe from sun while in prison would be nice

Another thing, while curator has immunity to vampire powers, he also doesn’t really get that much. He can detect vampire without masquerade power with also incidentally is responsible for giving them heartbeat. So if you can detect them with book you also can detect them with medical scanner. He also has information about them in book with in fact means he got physical link to wiki with security incidentally knows to (the briefings). I think he should be able to deconvert tralhs or something like that to actually make him close to chaplain in ability. Also do blessed tiles prevent the vanishing trick? They are supposed to stop all magical teleportation

Whats the requirement to have them spawned in a round?

this looks cool as all hell. I love that a lot of the features are lifted from vampire the masquerade (something which more people should know about)

Maybe have some kind of silver cuffs/collar that can be special ordered via cargo? They would be expensive, but would allow people to detain them/prevent them from using magic? Might be kind of funny to make Garlic be some kind of weakness that temporarily prevents vampires from using any abilities, maybe have their juice be a weakness so people can make grenades from it?

Maybe just have cargo be able to buy a literal vampire killing kit (which is pretty expensive) that has equipment to help with detaining them?

Garlic already causes the equivalent of a mild allergic reaction at the moment I’m pretty sure
There is a way to detain them, removing their heart won’t kill a vampire and will instead prevent them from using their powers (they can still resurrect though I think??

11

Even if, sun will kill them. Also with all the anti stun, teleport and cuff breaking its just not vialable to try to transport them to sec.

I’ve just thinking what would be the best way to classify vampires under space law? I think it should lean toward a EOTC ruling, they do some conversion stuff and with them already being powerful it would help testing them out. Instead of having to create items to do the initial containment you could just allow just allow sec to go full offensive on them.

On the other hand, maybe there does need to be more antag types that don’t call for RRing. Vampires just be pacified and released, or limited and serve out their crimes.

Also minor note, I’m not sure if there is anything in space law currently that would really get security to HAVE to deal with them if they don’t kill anyone. I know it’s just being test merged, but with what’s worded within the github information there isn’t anything really pushing them to be a issue for security. Maybe vampires could have a similar goal to the gang antags and have a mutual goal of helping revive some master/Dracula on the station? That is the ultimate goal, but which ever vampire/clan does it gets unique abilities? Just something to ensure they don’t just wipe each other out and makes it more of a mutual competition

The vampires are based on vampire the masquerade and the politics and backstabbing are important part of their identity. Also only way to deconvert people is killing vampire so there is no way to get people free without round removing sadly

14

what if malkavians had like that mind read genetic thing which was restricted while back it seems more incharacter also when next TM

15

Except for the favorite vassal, all converted ppl can be mindshielded which deconvert them
