Historical Occasions of Note

Population Booms

The increased notoriety on video sharing platforms such as youtube has led to population booms for SS13 and in turn CM-SS13. Below is a list of all the population booms that have affected CM-SS13.

Date:	Population Booms of Significance:
2019, Mar 17	SsethTzeentach releases a review of SS13, Space Station 13. The high player influx on this scale for CM-SS13 required new discord channels to be made to help deal with all the newer players and their various questions. 342 players now sits as CM-SS13's highest player count.

April Fools

Year:	April Fools Events:
2016	For the 2016 april fools event the server was changed to use Pre-Alpha code, which led to a lot of confusion from the more recent players and a barrel of nostalgia from the older veteran players.
2017	2017 was an interesting one as it wasn't a Pre-Alpha code revert but it did reintroduce some of the Pre-Alpha maps with a watery theme instead of space. Sulaco V1 was made out of wood and called the USS Iowa the infestation map was the nostromo with a watery theme (space was replaced with water tiles, which if moved into would kill you, as such many a marine was lost to drowning at sea.) icly it was described as an infested oil rig.
2018	2018, 24 hours of Xenos vs Marines basketball and space jam. For your viewing pleasure below are a list of recorded rounds: HKO's recordings of the event: Part 1 | Part 2 Araulius's recordings of the event: Full Video
2019	Admins released a virus that was updated from the zombie virus code to give player characters ears. All the playable maps were randomly rotated for each round, to add to the horror.
2020	The game was reverted to an older branch of omega. The March 2019 branch was used for the April fools day event.
2021	The Sulaco was updated and used for this years April Fools event with new sprites and modifications to the existing Sulaco to add in the additional features the Almayer has. The two things that stayed the same was the old Rasputin dropship and vindicator drop pod. The Sulaco did not include any deployable vehicles such as the tank or APC.
2022	The Almayer map was rolled back to an older version from September 2020.
2023	To be added
2024	A remade version of Prison station V1, also known as prison classic was used on the 31st of March onto april fools. Supplementary to this was the CM Battlepass that was released within the same timeframe, whch had players earning rewards through winning/losing rounds and completing personal challenges.

Date of Circulation: October 30th, 2014 - July 30th, 2015

Era of Creation: Early Pre-Alpha

Sulaco V1, or simply known as the NMV Sulaco at the time was the first Marine ship map used on Colonial Marines before being phased out in favour of its successor, Sulaco V2, due to an ever expanding population in July 2015. It has since been retired and only makes occasional appearances for April fools with a better design, which is known as the USS Iowa.

Date of Circulation: July 30th, 2015 - April 24th, 2017

Era of Creation: Early Alpha

Sulaco V2, or known as the USS Sulaco at the time was the revamped version of the Sulaco V1 and was the second marine ship and also first map to use multiple z-levels to simulate different levels of the map as well as two different transportation methods, in this case decks of a ship and the usage of Droppod and Dropship respectively. Uniquely it has been the only map to use a |supermatter for power generation. It was later phased out in favour of its successor, the USS Almayer, due to an ever-expanding population in April 2017. It has since been retired and has not made an appearance since.

Supermatter Basic Setup

Good news, everyone! The SM engine is mostly set up already and ready to provide power the USS Sulaco. There are just a few additional steps you should undertake before flipping that Emitter on. But first, put on a handy pair of Optical Meson Scanners and put on a Radiation Suit and Radiation Hood. Remember, the SM (white) will ruin your eyes if you look at it without Mesons and you will receive radiation damage without the suit simply from being too close to an active supermatter core.

The SM Engine Area

1. Ensure cooling loop is functional

Check on the computer (blue) and refresh until it shows that the SM chamber is 'Injecting' coolant at a rate of 700 L/s. The output pressure should then be toggled to 'Open'. Make sure that the input is maximized and open because otherwise the coolant loop will not function properly.

2. Prep the radiation collectors

The radiation collectors (magenta) are what powers the Sulaco once the SM is active. First go to the phoron tanks (in orange) and fill them to the maximum 1013 kPa capacity using the phoron canister; (orange) To do this first grab a phoron tank in hand then click the phoron canister, (orange) the phoron tank should then be inserted into the canister (you will know if it is inside because a black mark will appear on the side of the canister if it is) after that set the kPa to 1013, then open the release valve, when the tank is full close the release valve and eject the phoron tank. Open the blast doors to the collector and put one full phoron tank into each collector. Make sure click on all eight of the collectors to activate them.

3. Turn on the Engine Room SMES

Turn both the input and output of the SMES (yellow) to maximum and set the input to Auto.

4. Fire the emitter

Open the blast door to the SM chamber using the handy toggle. Fire the emitter (red) 10 times. Emitters fire four shots before a longer pause so count carefully; the audio cue helps here. Turn the emitter off and close the blast door.

5. Maintain an eye on the SM

Use the engine chamber console (blue) to check that the temperature and pressure remain stable. A good safe goal to shoot for is a core temperature of under 500K. After you have done these steps the temperature and pressure should stabilize, which then tells you that you are all safe to walk away, do remember to check up on the SM every once in a while though to see if the temperature/pressure is dropping or rising.

On a side note this SM Engine setup will last you 6 hours and more. - [Tested And Proved]

Map Changes Over This Time Period:

28th of July | Dropships were standardised with the same color scheme | Upper + Lower Medbay were changed | Squad Preps were changed | Requisitions were changed. 13th of August | The Bridge was moved to the fore of the ship | Brig was expanded on the lower deck | Astronavigation was moved to the very Fore of the ship | Upper Engineering was expanded | Self Destruct was added on the Upper Deck at the aft of the ship.

The USS Almayer is the latest marine ship to be released on Colonial Marines and is by far the largest due to the population growth that the server has witnessed in recent years. The USS Almayer was the first map and marine ship to fully incorporate perspective sprites for the entirety of the map.

Nostromo, aka (CM) boxstation was the sole infestation map used on Colonial Marines before being phased out in favour of its successor, LV-624, due to an ever expanding population in June 2015. It has since been retired and only makes occasional appearances for April Fools, which is known as Waterworld.

Date of Circulation: June 10th, 2015 - Current

Era of Creation: Late Pre-Alpha

Map creator : Absynth

LV-624 was the successor map to the Nostromo and was additionally the first ground map to be introduced into Colonial Marines. The map itself was created by Abbysynth and then tweaked later by other developers to keep the map fresh and balanced. It was one of the first maps to introduce a method to prevent early game rushing from both sides, which is the thick fog on the map. It was also the first map to incorporate "nightmare mode", where parts of the map change between games. It is the most beloved map by the community, and has been in the game for the longest period of time. It is also the default map for the server.

Date of Circulation: October 9th 2016 - Januray 16th 2017

Era of Creation: Alpha

Big Red V1 was a unique design and a massive map with the unique requirement that outside of the colony outpost buildings you were required to have a filtration system on you (aka a breath mask and an oxygen tank) otherwise you'd die. Though that unique feature didn't last too long as it caused a lot of imbalance so it was removed but as the map was played more it became apparent that there were a few atmos issues, especially with pressure. The large open areas of the map also caused the rounds to drag on for a long while. With all that said, the atmosphere of the map itself with tight underground maint tunnels and closely knit hallways was tense at times which made for great rounds.

Map Trivia: There were some original static barricades (the one's marines can build currently) on the map that survivors sometimes used. Do keep in mind they couldn't be built just yet.

Date of Circulation: April 24th, 2017 - Current

Era of Creation: Early Omega

Big Red V2, otherwise known as "Solaris Ridge" was an entire overhaul of the V1 map, which doesn't share much within common with its predecessor. Though with that said it did share similarities to the Nostromo's Research lab and V2 big reds research lab, along with various other buildings that have a Nostromo to Big red V2 parallel: Bar, Dorms, medbay, engineering, and the cafeteria. The Lambda research section of the map was lifted from big red v1.

Sprite History

Equipment

At the end of each category a sprite designer section is there to provide information on who made what sprites.

Pre-AlphaAlphaOmega

Marine Armor:

Concept Marine Armor	The initial concept armor developed for Colonial Marines. Armor Variations Upon The Initial Concept:
Phase One Armor	The agreed upon first marine armor set which replaced the standard grey/coloured jumpsuits from Infestation Station.

Final Helmet Concept Went into Colonial Marines in the Mid Pre-Alpha stage.
Phase Two Armor	The phase two marine armor was introduced into Colonial Marines in the late Pre-Alpha stage.

Armor Sprite Designer(s):
Joshuu

Marine Weaponry:

Colt M1911 / Phase One: M4A3	The Colt M1911 replaced the Stetchkin Pistol from infestation station and became the primary sidearm for the marines. The Colt M1911 near the end of Pre-Alpha recieved a name change to M4A3. Stechkin: The Predecessor The original sidearm for the marines which was replaced by the Colt M1911.
Smith and Wesson Victory	The S&W was the standard revolver for the marines and the predecessor to the M44 Combat Revolver.
Phase One: M39 Submachine Gun	The M39 was a freshly designed submachine gun for the marines to use. Later on the sprite was improved upon nearing the end of pre-alpha. Phase Two: M39 Submachine Gun Went into Colonial Marines in the late Pre-Alpha stage.
Phase One: M41A Pulse Rifle Mk2	The M41A Mk2 replaced the CR20 from Infestation Station and became the primary rifle for the marines. During the late stages of Pre-Alpha the sprite was improved upon. CR20: The Predecessor The original main weapon for the marines which was replaced by the phase one M41A pulse rifle. Phase Two: M41A Pulse Rifle Mk2 Went into Colonial Marines in the mid Pre-Alpha stage. Phase Three: M41A Pulse Rifle Mk2 Went into Colonial Marines in the late Pre-Alpha stage.
L6 SAW	The L6 SAW was the only LMG in Pre-Alpha and could be used with one hand in combination with a Riot Shield.
Riot Shotgun / Phase One: M37A2 Shotgun	The riot shotgun was renamed to the M37A2 Shotgun and became the primary shotgun for the marines during Pre-Alpha.
Heavy Machine Gun	The HMG was the backbone of the Marines during the Pre-Alpha stage. To use the HMG all you had to do was stand on the same tile as the HMG and make sure it was anchored down with a wrench, after that you just clicked on the enemy or a tile to fire. Do note that the HMG could only fire in straight bullet paths, though this did make it extremely useful for defending long hallways. One was available to each squad.

Previous Core Gamplay Systems

Defcon System

DEFCON, short for DEFense readiness CONdition or also known as the Threat Assessment Level, is an alert state for the USCM to authorize special assets to be used in the field for the current mission, should the marines complete objectives and perform well in the mission. DEFCON Threat Level Each DEFCON level gives $20000 + $20000 more funds for every subsequent DEFCON level reached including DEFCON 5. For example, you'll get $20000 funds for DEFCON 5 and $40000 funds for DEFCON 4 and so on. Each unlock will vary in cost. To check the progress of the DEFCON threat level and authorise an asset, use the communications console in CIC. Threat Level: Description: Unlocks: DEFCON Five + $20000 Default assessment level at the beginning of the mission. Basic assets and deployment are authorised. Additional Supply Points - gives 20,000 dollars for the Automatic Supply Retrieval System. Costs: $20000 Additional Dropship Part Fabricator Points - gives 1600 points for the Dropship Fabricator. Costs: $20000 Additional OB projectiles - HE x2 Additional OB projectiles - Cluster x2 Additional OB projectiles - Incendiary x2 Deploys a crate with corresponding OB ammo (x2) and fuel (x10) onto the Supply Elevator which appears next time the elevator is called up. Costs: $10000 for any of the crates DEFCON Four + $40000 Elevated threat level. Requires 10% objective points to be lowered. No Unlocks DEFCON Three + $60000 Moderate threat level. Requires 20% objective points to be lowered. Wake up additional troops - spawns a squad of specialized marines fresh from hypersleep, they do not spawn with their gear. Costs: $40000 DEFCON Two + $80000 Extreme threat level. Requires 30% objective points to be lowered. Allow the authorization of points to be allocated to the tank fabricator - authorizes the LTB cannon, TOW Launcher, and a few other modules to be used for the tank operation. Costs: $60000 Order 4 Specialist Kits from the Automatic Supply Retrieval System to allow squad marines to become specialists. Costs: $60000 DEFCON One + $100000 Maximum threat level. Requires 50% objective points to be lowered. Planetary Nuke (Tactical Nuke Deployment) - allows a tactical nuke to be deployed on the area of operations, it explodes in a timer in eight (8) minutes. Note that aliens will be alerted of the activation of the device and the Queen can defuse the nuke once activated. Costs: $100000 Objectives Each row in the below table is progressive, e.g. you'll find a paper scrap then be pointed to find a folder etc. Keep in mind that not all objective items will lead towards the next item, some will be red herrings giving you no clues. Documents/Data retrieval. Objective: Description: Paper Scraps and Progress Reports A piece of paper located somewhere on the map. It can be found on the ground, on tables, inside filing cabinets, or inside lockers. Paper scraps take about 2 seconds to analyze while progress reports take about 5 seconds, providing you with the location of a folder. You will be indicated whether it should be returned to the Almayer. Once on the Almayer place them on the racks in the computer lab. Folders A research folder located somewhere on the map. It can be found on the ground, on tables, cabinets, or inside lockers. It takes about 10 seconds to analyze, providing you with the location of a data disk and its encryption key. You should return it to the Almayer. Once on the Almayer place them on the racks in the computer lab. Data Disks A floppy disk located somewhere on the map. It can be found on the ground, on tables, or inside lockers. Return it to the Almayer so that someone with the disk's decryption key can decrypt it in the universal disk reader, potentially providing you with an item to retrieve or a console to analyze. Once the data has been scanned place them on the racks in the computer lab. Technical Manual Scattered around the Area of Operations will be technical manuals. Once read through, will lead directly to an item retrieval clue. They, along with all data items contribute to DEFCON and should be stored in the Computer Storage area. Data Terminal A computer located in certain areas of the map. They can be found in rooms of importance and require a password from a decrypted Data Disk. Once the correct password is used, information from the terminal will be sent back towards the ship, increasing the intelligence gathered. Retrieval of Research Assets. The Company has promised to pay High Command to lower the DEFCON threat level, if your researchers manage to identify any lost research assets from the colony. Objective: Description: Research notes A research note left behind by a scientist from the colony. Bring them to the researcher on-board the Almayer. Vialbox A box containing up to six vials. These might contain the results of chemical research from the colony. Bring them to the researcher on-board the Almayer so they can identify it. Recovering corpses All dead colonists (whether from the map or dead survivors) and KIA marine bodies should be moved to the morgue on the Almayer otherwise they won't be counted and as such won't help raise the DEFCON level. Alien corpses should also be moved to the research department on the Almayer otherwise they won't be counted and as such won't help raise the DEFCON level. Specific Item Retrieval Often, when decoding Data Terminals, there will be an announcement to search and retrieve an item. You will need to recover this specific item with a certain serial number. To find it, examine said object at said location and if it matches the one from the announcement, bring it back to the storage area next to the Computer Labs. Put it on the rack and leave it there. Map specific DEFCON thresholds Certain maps have a lower DEFCON threshold to allow for an easier time in lowering DEFCON. Rest of the maps: DEFCON 4: 10% DEFCON 3: 25% DEFCON 2: 40% DEFCON 1: 60% LV-624: DEFCON 4: 15% DEFCON 3: 30% DEFCON 2: 45% DEFCON 1: 70%

You're gonna need to find them and more then likely bring them back to the ship's storage for safe keeping. Objective: Description: Paper Scraps and Progress Reports A piece of paper located somewhere on the map. It can be found on the ground, on tables, inside filing cabinets, or inside lockers. Paper scraps take about 2 seconds to analyze while progress reports take about 5 seconds, providing you with the location of a folder. You will be indicated whether it should be returned to the Almayer. Once on the Almayer place them on the racks in the computer lab. Folders A folder located somewhere on the map. It can be found on the ground, on tables, cabinets, or inside lockers. It takes about 10 seconds to analyze, providing you with the location of a data disk and its encryption key. You should return it to the Almayer.Once on the Almayer place them on the racks in the computer lab. Data Disks A floppy disk located somewhere on the map. It can be found on the ground, on tables, or inside lockers. Return it to the Almayer so that someone with the disk's decryption key can decrypt it in the universal disk reader, potentially providing you with an item to retrieve or a console to analyze. Once the data has been scanned place them on the racks in the computer lab. Technical Manual Scattered around the Area of Operations will be technical manuals. Once read through, will lead directly to an item retrieval clue. They, along with all data items contribute to DEFCON and should be stored in the Computer Storage area. Data Terminal A computer located in certain areas of the map. They can be found in rooms of importance and require a password from a decrypted Data Disk. Once the correct password is used, information from the terminal will be sent back towards the ship, increasing the intelligence gathered. Item Retrieval Sometimes when uploading data disks or data terminals, ARES will occasionally ask you to retrieve items with specific serial code numbers. You can examine items to see what their serial code is. Objective: Description: Advanced Mass-spectrometer An item that ARES may ask you to retrieve with a special serial code number on it. Simply secure the item in the computer storage area for it to contribute to DEFCON. Health Analyzer An item that ARES may ask you to retrieve with a special serial code number on it. Simply secure the item in the computer storage area for it to contribute to DEFCON. Datacard A disk of data containing one of the administration authentication codes necessary to lift the lockdown. Typically found in administrative areas and must be used in a pair at the lockdown override terminal. Found on CORSAT. Retrieval of Research Assets The Company has promised to pay High Command to lower the DEFCON threat level, if your researchers manage to identify any lost research assets from the colony. Objective: Description: Research notes A research note left behind by a scientist from the colony. Bring them to the researcher on-board the Almayer. Vialbox A box containing up to six vials. These might contain the results of chemical research from the colony. Bring them to the researcher on-board the Almayer so they can identify it. Search & Retrieve This is a very simple task. You search for documents, you retrieve the document and you store them into storage. Sounds easy right? Well it is. The hard part of this job is that you're gonna usually be alone out there, with little to no support if you're hunting for Intel alone. Documents and objects of interest will be scattered all over the area of operations. Whether they're in lockers, on the floor or anywhere in buildings, it's up to you to find them all. Your trusty data detector will help you find these items with ease. It'll help you detect anything worth bring back to the Almayer for processing and storage. Items in safes can not be open with C4 or Thermite. Cataloging and sorting data When you've been gathering folders, scraps of paper or anything in the field that is considered valuable to DEFCON. It is important to sort out what you've read through and what needs to be read through. It is recommended that all intel items requiring processing be put in Storage and processed intel items in the High-Sec Storage. Disks should also be sorted into encrypted and decrypted piles so as not to waste efforts on finished tasks. If you have lost track of what is left to retrieve, open the IC > View objective clues tab. A key objective is to find decryption disks in order to reduce the DEFCON. In order to do that, 1. Read all the scraps. 2. Check if you have the folders ship-side already. If not, broadcast the clues to the Intelligence chat to any planet-side IOs to retrieve them. 3. Once the right folder is retrieved, read it and the decryption disk will be revealed along with its decryption key. 4. Check if you have the disk on ship-side. If not, broadcast the clues to the Intelligence chat to any planet-side IOs to retrieve them. 5. Load the disk onto one of the ARES terminals, enter the decryption key and continue with the cataloging.

Agent

SPECIAL Agent Difficulty: Hard Supervisors: Dependent on role Rank: Dependent on role Duties: Complete objectives for your assigned faction. Guides: None Unlock Requirements: Opt-in, specific roles. Detailed Description: |__________| We know your secret, we know what you're keeping hidden and want nobody to find out about. Follow our demands or we'll tell everyone. Ignoring our orders will have serious consequences, so we suggest you keep this hidden and just do it. |__________| "I say we grease this rat-fuck son-of-a-bitch right now!" ―Pvt. Hudson, Aliens Introduction to Agency Agents are ship-side crew (or stowaways) designed to function as minor antagonists and as a foil to the Military Police on the USS Almayer. These agents are assigned various objectives that they are expected to complete by the end of the operation without being detected. Those selected will have access to exclusive equipment to complete these objectives. If an agent is detected by security they will be terminated. Beginning 20 minutes into the round and reoccurring every 10 minutes afterwards, a beacon will be sent out. If less agents than MPs are active than a new agent will be selected or a stow-away will be invited from deadchat to spawn. If the ratio to MPs and agents is balanced, a random agent is given a new objective. To become a candidate for agency, you must have it enabled in your preferences and be one of the following roles: Corporate Liaison, Cargo Technician, Researcher, Maintenance Technician, Mess Sergeant, and Nurse. An automated ARES message over MP comms will always alert when this beacon is sent, so they will be aware of your presence. Agent Rules As an agent, you will have to properly follow Rule 18, which dictates how you may play this role. Failure to abide by these regulations will lead to a potential agent job-ban. Be smart, and if you're not sure if something is okay, always ask the staff. Agents have to follow proper escalation and are encouraged to use non-lethal abilities to avoid capture. The goal of an agent is not to murder anyone, however they can defend themselves if need be. Agents may not kidnap people. They may incapacitate them, restrain them, and run away. Agents should not be removing a player from the round unless proper escalation was met while defending themselves. Agents should follow their objectives, however they should avoid destroying equipment required for round progress (OB Equipment, CIC/Overwatch Consoles/Reactors, etc...) They should also not upset the flow of the round or cause a severe imbalance. Agent violations are handled by Marine law, and agent actions may not be considered outright sedition. Refer to Marine Law if an agent is caught conducting illegal activity. (Example: It is not sedition to place a tracking device down, or break a window in a specific place. It may be sedition to blow up a wall in CIC which injures anyone within the explosion radius) Art of the Agent Congratulations if you're one of the lucky ones who meet the criteria, you will receive a pop-up determining if you would like to become an agent or not. If you accept, you will be given a prompt in chat that informs you of your special frequency code and your objectives. Afterwards you will be carrying out the wishes of the UPP, WY, RESS, or CLF. Once you are aware of your objectives, it's time to get to work. As an agent, your superiors offer you an uplink based inside your headset which you can access by holding it, clicking it, and then calling the special frequency with your code. If you ever forget your objectives or your code, you can always check with the Show Objectives ability in the top left. If you wish to receive new tasks after your current ones are completed, the Receive Incoming Transmission ability (if displayed) will grant you another objective to fulfill. Abilities: Description: Show Objectives Display all of your current objectives and your special frequency code at any time. Receive Incoming Transmission Accept a new objective from your agency. Getting that Greentext Your uplink in your headset grants you a flat 40 points to start. You are free to spend these points at your leisure. Be advised that these points are scarce and you will not be able to get more. However, you are able to share points with other agents by printing them from your headset. You are also able to identify agents of your own faction by the symbol beside your character, but not agents of opposing factions. Your main goal is to complete your objectives without getting caught. If the MPs detain you and they find reasonable evidence that you're committing the crime of Subterfuge (being an agent), you will be jailed, terminated, and discharged to the colony. If your ID is terminated you fail all objectives, period. The end of the round report will display all agents, their objectives, and whether or not they completed them. For a proper greentext, you cannot fail any of your tasks. Possible Objectives Objective: Description: Prepare a Hideout Have the given amount of structures constructed to complete this objective. Example: Prepare a hideout by building 4 walls. Destroy Destroy structures at the given location. Example: Weaken the structurals of the USS Almayer by destroying 3 walls at Upper Medbay. Disable APC Make sure the power of the APC is off. Example: Cause a blackout. Disable an APC in Briefing. Floppy Disk Insert the disk into a sensor computer. Example: Ruin the computer systems, by inserting the suspicious floppy disk in a sensor computer in CIC. Money Obtain cash and have it on your person. Example: Cause confusion and disarray of the USS Almayer economy by amassing 7500 dollars. Poison Make an officer (Ensign and above) eat the poisoned food. Example: Poison an officer with the rotten jellied toast to upset their stomach. Propaganda Put up propaganda posters, make sure they aren't ripped down. Example: Spread the message! Place 2 propaganda posters around the USS Almayer hallways. Steal Steal an objective item and have it on your person. Example: Drain the USS Almayer supplies by stealing a golden cup. Tracking Beacon Deploy the tracking beacon in the proper location. Make sure it remains there. Example: Track USS Almayer's vital area by placing the tracking device in Captain's Mess. Make sure it doesn't get found. Items of Interest Item: Description: Autopsy Scanner Extracts information on wounds. Location: Autopsy room, upper medbay.
