## About The Pull Request https://github.com/tgstation/common_core/blob/master/Technology%20and%20Science/Communications.md I was playing Starsector shortly before I read through this lore blurb and realized that simple Comms Buoys would be easy little ruins to make. Then I decided to make NT's extra-special because NT is always leading in tech innovation. Adds 2 "low-tech" Comms Buoy ruins (**no local comms**, these are just little fluff things): <details><summary>Kosmokomm Communications Buoy</summary> </details> <details><summary>Pirated Communications Buoy</summary> </details> The majority of the PR is the "high-tech" Nanotrasen Extraorbital Bluespace Communications Buoy <details><summary>The NT-EBCB Model 7 (ignore the parallax i couldnt get it all in one screenshot)</summary>  </details> This is a medium ruin that's more lore heavy than loot heavy - though that doesn't mean there's no danger. NT wouldn't want you walking in and reading all their communication logs after all. <details><summary>SPOILERS INSIDE</summary> **Hazards:** 2 Laser Turrets (in a titanium room, so they reflect off walls) **Loot:** 2 Experimental Tool spawners, 2 NT Private Security bodies, 3 space suits, 1 of each tcomm component, 2 RTGs (can these even be taken) The majority of the sat is for lore. It has 3 paper notes and 5 consoles (1 broken, 1 dupe, so 3 unique consoles) All lore will be here to show how formatting appears in-game. <details><summary>Airlock Note: "Page 33: NT-EBCB Model 7"</summary> This one gives a quick summary of what to expect inside - consoles and defense turrets. Of course, players won't have the special ID (and couldn't use it anyways, the guys inside covered it in blood)  </details> <details><summary>Pinned Note: "Table of Contents: NT-EBCB Model 7"</summary> A page out of the manual. Rest of manual not included. (Names the different parts of the buoy)  </details> <details><summary>Main-Dish Note: "Spinward-NT-EBCB Inspection Report"</summary> An inspector left behind a few notes during pre-deployment. Sure hope no important security risks were missed!  </details> <details><summary>Console 1: "Satellite Dish Operations Terminal"</summary> This one's mostly just a tie-in with the "story", don't know how necessary it is but it filled the empty spaces. This console has a spare in the Main Dish (as its prone to breaking from the turrets)  </details> <details><summary>Console 2: "Blackbox Transcription Terminal"</summary> The "local" side of the story. This console monitors the Local-Space Comms, and managed to log the repair team's activity.  </details> <details><summary>Console 3: "Long-Range Interstellar Relay Operations Terminal"</summary> Here's the big lore thing for freaks like me who love lore being shown in-game. It's got a lot of random-made-up-science-bullwhizz relating to the ongoing NT research mentioned in the plasma_exposure lore blurb. Granted, the guy's a bit biased in his ex-partner's work.   </details> </details> ## Why It's Good For The Game A) Everybody loves new space ruins, even small fluff ones. I hope. B) Lore integration is cool. Aside from the obvious 'Comms Buoys being a thing you can find', it also makes mention of the Gateway system/Port Ellis and a certain lore blurb involving plasma (albeit under more severe, and biased, testing) ## Changelog 🆑 add: 3 new Space Ruins: two small Comms Buoys (fluff) and an NT Bluespace Comms Buoy. Employees are asked not to touch vital components when nearby this critical infrastructure. /🆑
