Deadmans training yard

[Whistle]

All in favor of this, but you would need to have someone keeping it from just turning into a deathmatch.

Hence why staff running, it'd only be available when staff are available.

Tyler can teach people how to be skilled in melee combat.

The only downside I see is a silly sam deciding to grab an M4A1 and shoot up the training grounds.

Just allow respawns if it's non-admin, and if it's admin, just treat it as practice?

If this was to become a proper event it would be moderated

+1 I want to learn how to build shit as a combat engineer. Since at the moment, I can do medicine, shoot shit, stab stuff, do p much most things outside of queen as a xeno, but actually build shit as an engineer? I'd be lost as all hell.

+1 It would be a damn long time until this can be implemented, and I think CM would be the first server to have something like this

Unlikely to happen but I have wanted something like this for every SS13 server

I think the WH40K server has some sort of combat training room.

Indeed we did. Drake (The coder.) rigged up a "Simulation" chair that sent you to a Z-level with basic guardsman gear and a Simulation tab to spawn enemies with and leave the simulation.

+1, this would be fantastic. If it can be fully automated and give players a button to go to the training yard, even better.
The deathmatch could be countered with a special verb to toggle testing immortality, so those who wish to train shit by killing eachother can still do so, and others can continue training alone.

This would be great as it would cater to both sides of players who want to essentially have training duels and those who just want to learn mechanics by themselves. +1 to that.

Only if people can't hurt others when immune,though I guess that's a given.

+1 if dead players can still be picked for xeno and ERT rotations (Reduce their chance to be picked due to busyness perhaps?)

Make it so all players within X-Y areas aren't considered alive or whatever, still pondering how it'd work.

[Doc]

I definitely support this idea. Having an area where new players are able to figure how what they want to use and how to use it without needing to be thrown into the fire of active combat right off the bat would be beneficial for just about everyone, from the people using it to the people that have to deal with them using it. It would definitely have to be overseen by a staff member to prevent people from just screwing around, though- preferably one on one if any learning is going to happen. Perhaps a 'training' tab could be implemented when a player is selected by a mentor, as suggested earlier? This would be used by the mentor to give the player whatever equipment they wish to train with, rather than the player spamming themselves with cool spec equipment.

[Polkjm]

-1 on this because while it would be nice to have it would increase the strain on the server and probably take a while to implement for little reward in my opinion.

When I started I sucked ass and just played squad marine with a pulse rifle. You observe how others use the weapons and when you try them out for the first time you might not be very good but you'll get better with time. There isn't much you would gain from this training room that couldn't be obtained from trying it out for a round. Besides, simply reading on how the weapon works should do the trick.
