I miss it /v/
Then play it?
>>737164814What's the point if good servers are all dead
>>737164814There was an attempt at an SS13 thread like an hour ago and no-one cared, cuz turns out the only servers still up with players on are Russian Furry ERP hangouts. Pic related
>>737166729The furry ERP servers are fun though, you can have sex in them with big fluffy women
>>737166729Most of the regular servers do scheduled rounds nowadays, where you gotta join their annoying Discord servers to find out when people get pinged to play. Notably tg Terry on fridays, tg Manuel on saturdays and I think both bee and fulpstation on sundays, they usually get really good pop count I know Terry hit the 70s last week.
>>737166729>that launcherI miss BYOND so much bros. I practically grew up there, had some of the best moments of my online life, but also some of the worst ones. I told myself that going back isn't worth it, and it will never be the same now that the people I played with are gone, but I still do miss it.
>>737164717me too anon
>>737168914>that one time an anon went to Vorestation and covered the station with so much jizz they had to call the escape shuttle
Just move on with your life.
>old /vg/ when we used to hit 30-50 pop roundsShame since team antag modes are the best
/vg/station couldn't contend against the relentless gacha spam of /vg/ and the schizo slopper, so it moved to /vm/ >>>/vm/ss13It still gets about a dozen or two players every night in evening US hours.I miss old /tg/station and Sybil, even though it was in the early stage of the tranny takeover I still had fun then. I refuse to touch nu-TG, last time I checked it out out of curiosity they had completely changed the hand keybinds to be some unintuitive retarded shit instead of the classic 'x' to switch and 'q' to drop along with getting rid of emergency medkits because apparently only medbay should be allowed to heal people, the server has been fucked long before that though.
how is ss14 technically?
>>737172536I only played janitor and a bit of engineer. It's alright, I guess. I can see why most of the players moved to SS14.
>>737172305I played heaps of /vg/station back around 2012~2014 or so. How is it these days? Last time I jumped on was like a year before covid and there were only 5 people on and the rounds were ~6 hours long. I sort of got switched off a bit when they kept adding too much custom shit like reworking cult for no reason, removing changeling/vampire or something and some cunts kept pushing some shitty meme map no-one cared about.
>>737172536It runs a lot better (as expected since it's not running on a '90s MUD engine) and you can like fly shuttles around, but it's lacking a lot of features found in most SS13 codebases since SS14 coders would rather add snowflake races and trans pride paraphernalia. Shit like non-tile-based movement and some of the controls and UI is going to be weird to anyone who is used to SS13. I've heard mixed things about the code itself and how easy or difficult it is to add new features, supposedly the code is a lot less organized than most SS13 codebases but you don't have to put up with BYOND's idiosyncrasies.
>>737172536Only ever played CM-SS13, it's smooth as butter on the cm-ss13 copycat with a bajillion different races (somehow the server tries to keep it MRP despite how ridiculous it is)
>>737168914>big fluffy womenActually? Or only in a roleplay sense that has nothing to do with the substance of the game?
>>737172726Most of the time the server has no players outside of 'murican nighttime hours as posted before, and those rounds are usually a few hours long.Vampires and changelings are still in the game and pop is never high enough for cult to spawn. There's another divisive meme map that's been added in the last couple of years, Junglestation, that's a planetside map in a jungle.Players and admins aren't as bad as they used to be but the mood is still pretty grim.
>>737172761what are the biggest missing features?
>>737173148Last I checked they still hadn't added surgery to the game and the only real power source was the antimatter engine which is just a glorified battery. Lots of other jobs or mechanics are just missing depth found in SS13, like there aren't as many reagents and plants don't have potency/yield stats.
>>737173468Most of these aren't true, kind of. Surgery exists on most servers and has for about a year now, with the only exemption being WizDen because they want to use their own implementation that hasn't been made yet. Every server has AME, TEG, Singulo, and Tesla, with some having Supermatter and nuclear reactors. Plants have had stats for a long, long time, and plant scanners have been in for quite a while. It's really only xenobiology and virology that isn't in, except on Goobstation.
>>737164717Same, SS14 has been such a disappointmentThe moment I saw the tranny logo and only russian servers I just uninstalled
>>737172936SPLURT has some mad level of customization, you will see big wolf women and that is just some regular stuff
