New event: Approaching unknown shuttle

[TheShuEd]

About the PR

The game adds a series of events united by a common idea - a ship with ghostly roles is approaching the station, and the station's sensors notice it.

Views of the approaching shuttles:

• Lone Nuke Operative: redesigned for the new system by a lone nuke ops. Gameplay is unchanged. arrives silently.
• Lost Cargo technical: A cargo shuttle from another station lost coordinates and arrived at our station. It's a regular cargo shuttle filled with random resources and 2 ghost role as a regular cargo technical. With a 5% chance this is a traitor.
• Traveling Cuisine. A small shuttle with 2 chefs arriving to treat the station to delicious meals. 5% traitor.
• An escape pod. A surviving escape pod from another station coming to us. It has 1 ghost role as a random head member.
• Clown Shuttle. 3 space clown + 3 Clownspider are coming up to prank station
• Syndie Evacpod. 3 Syndicate cadets, unarmed and with no antagonist role on the evacuation pod find themselves at the station. This is an opportunity for a fun RP.

Why / Balance

making the cosmos more alive.
Increasing the number of interesting ghost roles.

I think encountering unrelated/civilian ships would be cool, would make people more immersed in the idea that space is large. Heres some ideas to think about.

Interplanetary Pizza Delivery - A ship with 2 chef ghostroles, enough ingredients for like 12 pizzas, microwave and regent grinder, and 2 emergency pizza delivery crates.

Traveling Medical Ship - 2/3 ghost roles (doctors/parameds and maybe one engi?), some emergency med kits, body bags, med lockers, defib and cell charger, a cryo bed and a normal med bed and maybe a chemvend (probs too much)

Mercenary for hire ship - (finally, a use for merc gear other than drip) 1/3 Mercenary ghost roles, should all have AKM's with ammo, note explaining prices for service (for rp), EVA suits, probably some smoke/shrapnel nades. (probably not though because having armed people arrive to the station may create diet-nukie shitters.)

Also im up for mapping shuttles for this, done some cool ones in the past.

[TheShuEd]

Any suggestions of shuttle ideas are welcome!

[MACMAN2003]

shuttle idea: lost syndie crew shuttle: regular 9-5 syndies working for some random syndie corporation that got very, very, lost. (they don't have tc)

[Nimfar11]

A clown troupe (2 clowns and possibly 1 mime) with a performance and a small zoo with animals including a clown spider (possibly no hostile faction).

one of those animals could be a caged urist in tider drip

[K-Dynamic]

Science ship with dangerous artifacts and actice/critted anoms

Evac shuttle empty or full of random survivors from another station

Damaged escape pod or derelict ships

Transport with cryosleeper ghost roles

Sec prison ship with botany focus

Zombie pirate ship with meat tiles and space morb (Space Pirates and Zombies reference )

[2013HORSEMEATSCANDAL]

Medieval shuttle with a jester and a knight

With recycled Spirate code? Rabid tider lol

My problem with this atm is it's going to lag the server for several seconds midround which isn't good.

[LordEclipse]

I actually love this idea, the non-hostile ships would need to be much much much likely though to stop the ever-present threat of external forces. Maybe one of them could be an empty ship with signs of a struggle, and a dead body.

We don't notice outside of our shitty internet and server lagspikes

[TheShuEd]

Does solo nuker make the server lag?

Maybe instead of a syndicate ship... Add a syndicate warship with 1 commander and 2 operatives with a chance of about 5%? It will look better than regular syndicate agents.
Or a ship of agitators for joining the syndicate.

Rev endround ship (after 1 hour)

that just sounds like nukies at that point, i think a syndicate ship shouldnt be the defacto bad guy ship but instead a way to RP being the enemy of the corperation without murderboning, ive had custom admin syndicate visitors on Nyano before it died and it was so fun just roleplaying with that scenario

i was thinking MRP, LRP is obviously bloodthristy

[metalgearsloth]

Does solo nuker make the server lag?

Yeah and I also don't like loneops code either.

[DrMelon]

Yes to all of these shuttles! Make the space station feel like an actual space station with traffic coming in at times.

[Ilya246]

shuttle taken over by hostile borgs?

[mirrorcult]

okay, ready for review again

things added/changed from original:

• LoadoutComponent now supports RoleLoadoutPrototype, so roles spawn with job gear properly (this can be used to fix setoutfit later)
• UnknownShuttleRule replaced with existing LoadMapRule, support for grid preloading added to LoadMapRule
  • also allows for adding antag roles to these in the future very easily
• grid preloading is now a singleton map created at first gamemap load rather than being tied to stations
• unknown shuttle events split into separate rules to allow for diff announcements + separate weighting
• ran FixGridAtmos on the shuttles since the cargo one didnt have air
• all ghostroles added have at least short raffling

[mirrorcult]

after weighting changes this is roughly the incidence of these rules as well as comparison to other rules (per 1k rounds):
