* You can click on the 'Chat' button at the bottom of the Dreamseeker window, and never have to type 'Say' again.

* You can stop an admin midi playing if you hit the "hear/silence midis" button 3 times.


* You can drag two things at once, as long as one of them can have the grab intent used on it. Ctrl-click one and grab intent the other. Very useful in Xenobiology where you're trying to drag a bunch of monkey or slime corpses at the same time. You can do something similar with non-grabbable things with telekinesis and ctrl clicking. Added: You can actually move 3 things with grabs-switch to the other hand. If this stop you from pulling, then it's only 2 things.

* Cyborgs can close doors extremely quickly by having something activated in one of your three slots. This closes it like you were a normal person with access who clicked it with their bare hands. Saves you opening up a window and then clicking 'Close door' and such. Also, shut the door behind you if you're entering somewhere important like EVA for christs sake.

* Oh, and SWAT Helmets? Spaceworthy. They're very good armour, too. Not sure how they compare to the dermal armour patch but I know they're the best thing for the captain to wear.

* Blessing fire extinguishers as a chaplain makes you able to cover a huge area in holy water.
* Bibles - bibles have a 60% chance to heal you and a 40% chance to give you 10 branes dumaig, unless... UNLESS YOU ARE WEARING A HELMET (or any child of clothing/head/helmet - so that includes Caps), which will protect you from the brain mushing effects of religion. The bible's effectiveness at healing seems to decrease the more you use it on someone. You'll find yourself beating a lot more and healing a lot less, and the healing subtracting less damage.

* If you're wearing sunglasses/secHUD + a helmet/Warden's hat/HoS's hat OR a pair of earmuffs, flashbangs will only stun you for 5 seconds, otherwise you'll be down helpless for a full 20 seconds. This gives security 15 seconds (the same as a taser/stun baton) to slap the bracelets on the perp thats too slippy to hit normally.
* Police batons stun borgs.
* Police batons stun borgs.
* There is a recharging station near arrivals that you can access from the desk outside of the security checkpoint. Good if you are a traitor and need to give your weapons a bit of juice without suicide running into Brig.
* You can move rechargers by wrenching them and dragging them behind you and wrenching them back down to work again.
* Loyalty implants prevent someone from being rev'ed and deconvert revs. They also prevent someone from being culted but do not decult those tainted by the Dark Lord's power.
* If you are cloned you lose your loyalty implant.


* As a Security Officer, when you see someone set to arrest, friendly ask them to follow you to the brig first. You'd be surprised how often people cooperate even when they are criminals, and it saves you the hassle of SHITCURITY and HELP ME. You can always stunbuckle them if they refuse.

* Your most powerful tool in space station 13 is communication. As any head role you can order about your underlings, a lot of the time they will actually do it, and a lot of the time you can trade goodies for them following your orders. As RD, if you want to get into tech storage but the HoP didn't give you access like the pansy he is, you can go hunt down tools yourself. Or you can order an assistant to do it (clown often works as well), and it's often done faster than you could have with no effort on your part. Two chemists can spend a round not once talking, but a "hey dude what's up?" or a "I like your hair alisen~" can gain you a valuable resource: a friend, the most important protection against changeling attacks. Detective's gain a surprising amount of information just by chatting with people like the bartender and the mime. You can often have food delivered to you via the disposals system with just a pda, not once leaving your office. Speaking of orders, always give an order to a person not the department. Ordering your department to do something is rarely carried out, ordering a person to do something is more often than not followed (although still not followed that often).
