=Messing with a hypothetical [[Computers]] page. Might lead somewhere.=
 
The station is littered with computers, which basically fall into two categories:
*Normal computers, built around a ''circuit board'' providing all the software. Any computer with a GUI, basically.
*Heavy computers and Terminals, built around a ''mainboard'' and probably some ''modules''. Either can run [[ThinkDOS]] or [[TermOS]] just fine, but pre-built terminals tend to run TermOS while heavy computers run ThinkDOS.
 
Want to build one? Check out [[Construction#Computers|the guide]].

! Barcode Computer

| Located in [[Cargo Bay]] and all the depots linked to [[Routing Depot|Belt Hell]]. Prints barcodes for sticking on things so the cargo routers know where to send them. There exist a "General Barcode Computer" and a "QM Barcode Computer", but right now there's no difference.

! Bank Records
| <center>[[file:ATMBank.png]]</center>
| Shows the station's three budgets (Payroll, Research and Shipping), and lets you transfer money between them. Rarely used to set crewmembers' wages, and mess with their bank accounts. The [[Head of Personnel]] keeps it in his office.

More dumb shit: How to be a good traitor

Have you played a few rounds as an antagonist of some stripe? Did you even win? Doesn't matter, there are some things that'll make your traitorous existence more enjoyable for everyone, and that's what counts.

Do

  • Involve other people. There is good reason to suspect that Mindslave Implants are underpriced on purpose. You can get up to three loyal mindslaves if you're willing to spend the telecrystals, and that's three more guys who get to be lightweight traitors in the round. An alternative is to litter the station with cheap and mostly harmless Syndicate Items - things that will cause chaos but not get anyone banned for using them.
    • This makes you kind of hard to trace.
  • If you rampage, be good at it. (And get the damn shuttle called eventually.) People like watching a good rampage occasionally. People are less fond of dying five minutes into the round, after which the traitor trips on his own shoelaces and gets killed.
  • Deviate entirely from your traitor objectives. Being the traitor is a license to cause chaos, and you don't get a prize for completing your objectives. Sell fake mustaches, be the Friendly Changeling, kidnap the AI, it's all good. Just don't be boring.

Don't

  • Don't hog the station for hours! If you've killed half the station and completed your objectives, get the goddamn shuttle called! Deadchat is full of people who want to get back in the game, and you should have at least one bloodstained Head ID anyway.
  • Don't blow huge holes in the station. Bombing the main corridors is effective, but it lags the station to hell. Expect the shuttle to be called shortly if you do this.
