So, was there an idea to create a voice chat?
The CM official discord already features a voice chat.

How do you generally join the antag team during events? Observe the round, specify it in character options, or what?

Just click observe before the round starts and wait for admins to create an ERT which you can join.

You use them on your back fuel tank. But you can only fill them if they're totally empty, you have to use up 100% of the fuel in them.

You can only refill normal napalm tanks only by Drying them out. (Shooting all of the liquid out of them)
You can refill them by your Tank/backpack, and welder fuel tanks.

How exactly are you mean to throw huggers as carrier?

I have thrown huggers at AFK marines, that land directly on top of them, sit there for 5 seconds doing nothing, and then get shot/knived by a random marine. Actually hugging a marine who isn't AFK seems impossible. Is there something I am missing?

I don't think you're missing anything. They suffer a heafty stun after being thrown. Carrier isn't built to be part of the assault, but instead supporting it. If you can get close enough just hold a hugger in hand and click on the marine then it'll be instant. Get another Xeno to help you stun marines, and just place the hugger on their face.

Does targeting a certain body part affect your chance to hit? Say, if I go for the eyes, will I hit less often than if I'd go for the torso?

Okay daily question dudes - Is there a guide to the very complex injury/pain mechanics in this game? I've been scouring over the SS13 guides and reading about the medical jobs, which sort of helps, but I haven't found anything about how the basic mechanics work.
This, my friend, can be found in baystation 13 guides. Just type baystation guide on google and go to the wiki, look at guide to medical. Think of colonial marines as a baystation server with a LOT of mods. Maybe they've tampered with the damage needed to make each injury. Other than that the medical section is pretty much the same.

Is there a way to macro looking down a railscope? I used to be able to use load-from-attachement but that no longer works.

Quick question: Is it a good idea to inspect the disposals by riding them?
yes. they make you feel a rush of adrenaline and speed up your character for a few minutes too.

This one's for the devs: is there any need currently for there being an atmos pipe/tank system on the Almayer/Prison? Couldn't we just remove them and add something else in those rooms?

Can't remove them anymore. Wait for it to fall off and then shake them up
