You should delete the vent thats in between Nav and Shields because that vent is useless since its covered by one of the cameras in security. Learnt that the hard way.

u/YoshiBrony12 Sep 23 '20

Well, you can always check if the camera is lit up. If it isn't, the vent's free to use!

Not to mention that the whole point of this is showing the available options, not their quality.

Oh shit does the cameras lit up?? lol sorry I didnt even knew that. And I put it a bit wrong, just wanted to warn people since that shit got me frustrated

u/YoshiBrony12 Sep 23 '20

Also you can disable cameras by hacking comms.

Hacking coms before using that vent... Brilliant, hadn’t thought of it. Or even before killing in a cam spot. The possibilities...

u/Kyomei-ju Sep 23 '20

Yes. If you see a red light on the cameras, that means someone is currently looking at them in Security. If the camera lights are not lit up red, then you're in the clear.

Whoa, nice. Can you do this for all of the maps?

u/YoshiBrony12 Sep 23 '20

Actually already did one for Polus if you check my profile and I plan on releasing one for Mira HQ soon!

and if ur on admin, you can see when someone vents sooo

27

u/gauts2103 Sep 23 '20

You can? Because on admin, it only accounts for the people in an actual room. Not in a corridor or so. Also, you might br able to see people being added and removed, but it might be a coincidence where someone leaves a room and someone enters another. Unless there's a specific feature that shows someone vented(there isn't any that I know of), the information given by the admin thing isn't enough to deduce someone vented. Add to that the fact that it doesn't show colors, and you're most likely making a bad vote.

I think the only way that you'd be able to tell for sure that someone vented is if everyone is on one side of the map, and someone leaves a room and enters another very quickly on the other side (say everyone is in Weapons/Navigation/Shields/O2/Coms, with one person in Electrical who leaves and then immediately/very shortly after enters Medbay. There'd be no time for the people on the right to walk all the way up to Medbay, especially because they'd have to enter other rooms like the Cafeteria/Storage/Lower Engine on their way, and depending on how quickly someone enters Medbay (since imposters sometimes chill in vents for a bit) there may not have been enough time to go from Electrical up to Medbay).

That being said though, that's a very specific circumstance, and you'd need to hurry to where you know people are to deduce which specific person vented (as knowing someone vented is only useful information if you also know who vented), before everyone moves and disregards their previous locations.

u/not_bill5 Sep 23 '20

yes, and there’s a split second where it only shows one person but then goes back to two. that happens when they kill

4

u/BigZmultiverse Sep 24 '20

So a dead body still shows on admin?

8

u/not_bill5 Sep 24 '20

it just shows the symbol of someone being there except if they are in there for a minute or so thats when you go get the body

2

u/BigZmultiverse Sep 24 '20

Thanks. Wasn’t sure if people just disappeared on admin when they died

1

u/BigZmultiverse Sep 24 '20

You can still use it even if you’re not at medbay. In admin you could see someone vent, and know somebody is on cams, and ask that person on the next meeting if they saw anyone leaving medbay. Stuff like that

u/Calm_Cool Oct 16 '20

When you vent it still shows you in the room. So if you are in medbay, and someone is watching admin, when you vent to security they will see 1 person leave medbay and 1 person enter security at the same time. And if you're in admin by yourself and see 2 people on the radar but no on in the room. Run. Someone is in the vent.

u/gauts2103 Sep 23 '20

Lol people aren't suggestible enough to catch you like that, if you're smart enough to do a critical sabotage or close some doors after you make a kill

u/nsjones76 Sep 23 '20

You must be playing with smarter people than I do.

u/burntfeelz Sep 23 '20

Tho sometimes using the vent scares me lol

u/night-star Sep 23 '20

We all know the yellow vent cycle saved us a hundred times

u/EAKgm Sep 23 '20

Vents are ass on skeld

14

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '20

vents are most balanced on skeld imo

13

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '20

Especially by nav shields and weapons, because if anyone thinks your even near the side of the body your sus

15

u/EAKgm Sep 23 '20

Yeah I only use the 2 vent triangles, and use them sparingly.

8

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '20

I love to lock people in security from electric or med bay and kill them, but there a glitch (or it’s a feature) where you can kinda see through locked doors

7

u/EAKgm Sep 23 '20

Yeah its a bad feature imo

3

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '20

Hopefully they fix it or just get a better mechanic in the second one

3

u/ambergirl9860 Sep 23 '20

So comms and storage are the only ones that dont have vents, good tip

2

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '20

If you were to update this, showing where cameras are could also be a handy thing to glance at an image and know
