What is Space Station 13?Space Station 13 is a game where you need to survive on a space station that floats around a giant gas planet. You will hear NanoTrasen and Cent Com alot, whereas NanoTrasen built and runs Space Station 13, and I think you can figure out what Cent Com, or Central Command is. There are several different game modes, but I will get into that later.
Space Station 13 runs on the Byond engine, a very unstable and laggy engine. It isn't a looker, but it makes up for it in gameplay. It is very confusing once you start playing it, and you need to take some time to learn the hand system, along with the verb system.
Game Modes?There are various gamemodes implemented on the goon servers, which I reccomend going to.
Nuclear Emergency - A few High-tech, merciless operatives are sent from a corporation hellbent on nuking the station. It is kind of like a squad of modern marines going back to fight in the civil war, where the crew has almost no amazing weaponry, yet the syndicates, lacking in numbers, make up for it in firepower. Their goal is to steal the Nuclear Authentication disk from the captain, and blow up the nuke, destroying the station.
Traitor - A syndicate traitor is sent onto the station to assassinate a person, or steal stuff form the station. It is not as easy as it sounds, and there are several ways you can kill your target. You get an assigned amount of Telecrystals (10) in your PDA, where you can spawn devious items that are also job specific. Here are my personal favorite items:
-
Cloaking Device: Makes you invisible, except for people with Optical Thermal Scanners, the A.I., and Cyborgs. I reccomend stealing the thermals from people who have them, and getting the AI on your side before using this.
-
Electromagnetic Card: Oftenly called an Emag, is used to short out wires on the doors and computers to give you access you cannot have elsewhere. Beware, the airlocks stay open when you short out the wires, so it is quite obvious!
-
Energy Sword: The bringer of death. It is a sword that kills in a few hits, but having it is a giant "KILL ME" above your head.
Changeling: There is a being that can absorb your DNA, and change into other entities! You must find and kill it, before it becomes you! It also has horror form, which makes the beast almost unstoppable. They also have goals just like traitors do.
Vampire: So I hear there is a blood sucker aboard this station! Beware, the more blood he sucks, the more abilities he gains! Like diseased touch, which is an airborne virus that slows down your opponents.
Wizard: A wizard has traitor objectives, but with a twist, he has several deadly spells! Kill him at all costs!
Revolution: (Jorici's favorite!) Aye, matey, there be a mutiny going aboard this ship! A few people are selected to be Revolutionary heads, where they must brainwash the crew with their flash to join their cause in killing the heads of the station! (Captain, HoP, HoS, RD) Head Revolutionaries (Often called head revs) get telecrystals in their PDA, also.
