== Story Overview ==
You are in charge of setting out the design precidents that will lead the server in the right direction. You aren't setting the direction that the server should go in, and shouldn't be trying to change that; the direction of the server overall is something that needs to be agreed on by all the project heads.

This story, along with its related sub-pages, takes place in a near-future world that's both familiar and distinct. We've yet to master teleportation, faster-than-light travel, or resurrection of the dead - concepts that could disrupt the world's continuity and consistency. Long-distance space travel is technically possible, but it still requires a significant amount of time, leaving distant galaxies isolated and largely disconnected. Humans are the only known species in the universe, and although genetic advancements are progressing rapidly, full-scale body modification is still in its early stages.


Here are a few things that you should try to keep in mind when designing for SS13:
In this story there are three main factions of relevance:
* Every single change has positives and negatives. Even trivial changes that seem universally good can have long term consequences and slow mentality shifts over time which lead to undesirable states. For example, completely solving powergaming would also completely kill any form of improvisation for antagonists; completely removing all forms of cheap ways to kill people may make it more challenging for new players to play as an antagonist; completely focusing everything on roleplay instead of a balance of roleplay, gameplay and fun then you get an environment where there is no roleplay at all (Either everyone will be bored of the game and play somewhere else, or every round becomes the same and thus there is no variation in roleplay and everyone quits again).
- Recon Base Personnel: The job of the crew of the recon base is to ensure that access to the planet is kept under strict control. They escort the scientists to the planet and ensure that they are safe while they collect vital research equipment.
- Scientists: The scientists are civillian personnel and all belong to different science corporations. They may have their own security escorts with them. They are neutral to the station.
- Foragers: Groups of people who venture to the planet, attempting to recover artifacts to sell on the black market. They are hostile towards the station and generally try to stay hidden, but direct confrontation and station infiltration is not unheard of.

== Coding ==
== Meta ==
As the Head-Developer, you may find yourself coding significantly less than prior to being the Head-Developer. This is natural since you have other responsibilities that are far more important, and naturally should be trying to organise other developers in the right direction rather than doing everything yourself.


== Tips ==
[[User:PowerfulBacon/Guide_to_head_developer]]


* Don't worry if another maintainer is coding more than you. It is not a competition and your job isn't to be the most active coder on GitHub. Coding is the least important part of the role.

Story Overview

This story, along with its related sub-pages, takes place in a near-future world that's both familiar and distinct. We've yet to master teleportation, faster-than-light travel, or resurrection of the dead - concepts that could disrupt the world's continuity and consistency. Long-distance space travel is technically possible, but it still requires a significant amount of time, leaving distant galaxies isolated and largely disconnected. Humans are the only known species in the universe, and although genetic advancements are progressing rapidly, full-scale body modification is still in its early stages.

In this story there are three main factions of relevance: - Recon Base Personnel: The job of the crew of the recon base is to ensure that access to the planet is kept under strict control. They escort the scientists to the planet and ensure that they are safe while they collect vital research equipment. - Scientists: The scientists are civillian personnel and all belong to different science corporations. They may have their own security escorts with them. They are neutral to the station. - Foragers: Groups of people who venture to the planet, attempting to recover artifacts to sell on the black market. They are hostile towards the station and generally try to stay hidden, but direct confrontation and station infiltration is not unheard of.
