Welcome to the thread for d20 station, a rules light Space Station 13 server.
>What is Space Station 13?
It's a 2D top down atmospherics simulator with who dun it gameplay layered on top. Each crew member aboard the station has a specific job to perform, while a select few are selected to be traitors or antagonists (assasain/spy/thief).
>How do I get this game?
You'll need to download the BYOND client. There's games other than SS13, but enter those at your own risk.
BYOND Download link: http://www.byond.com/download/
You'll also want a BYOND account,which gives you a ckey so you can save preferences and be recognized by the game. It's highly recommended to make an account if you're experiencing connection issues or don't want to be a fat tourist/starving space bum.
To connect: Open BYOND, click the gear in the upper right. Click "Open Location" and paste in the IP below.

>How do I play
Use OOC and ask someone for help on how to play. People will almost always help you get a grip of the game if you're polite about it, just don't reveal too much in-round information in OOC. There's also wikis deticated to documenting the spaceman way of life, but they vary widely from server to server.
>What are the rules?
The rules are very relaxed and admins try to take a hands-off approach to administrating. Admins will generally only intervene if someone is explicitly playing to ruin the game or being a dick. Reminder to read the rules in-game.
>What map/code do you run?
We run a heavily modified Ministation map with now pretty much completely custom code. Most jobs on Ministation are merged with similar counterparts and head roles have been re-enabled.
>D20 wiki where?

>Who are these tripfaggots?
Usually admins/coders in the server.
So what's the best way to get yellow gloves? I can find a pair in the tool room across the bar but those don't seem to help against shocks

Coin in the YouTool vending machine
Electricians lockers in Engineering
Ordering a crate from cargo
>>47626418
being an engineer you spawn with them
they can be found in yellow toolboxes sometimes as well, and if all else fails, latex gloves give you a partial resistance to the electrical damage, and can be easily acquired in medbay
Will RnD ever be a real job instead of the metaclickfest it is now?
i found outvorehas some really cool security uniforms.i was just there to griffi swear, they banned me already

hard to say, but yeah probably, even if it doesnt simply stay in the form it currently is, pretty much any sort of experimentation would be either a bad rng fest or meta in some way.
