## About The Pull Request - APCs now show the dark blue effect periodically, once every six to ten seconds. - This flicker is not visible from cameras, except if the mob is anyway within view. - Malf AIs will see their own APCs flicker through cameras, but other AIs will not see them, except when the AI mob itself is nearby. ## Why It's Good For The Game This is one of those "sacrificing soul for gameplay" things. Malf AI does not win against an aware and uninjured crew. That's just the nature of the game. It's not even a competition, humans have too many tools that silicons simply have no answer for. That's fine, it makes the fight asymmetric (which is cool), and plays further into Malf AIs (and AIs in general) using underhanded tactics to quietly unravel their disadvantages. It makes stealth the greatest asset for an AI. Which is why the current hacked APC sprites are not great. The AI, by its own nature, needs to be able to make the first move. But the game is full of tools that allow the crew to, either accidentally or on purpose, seek out the telltale sign of a Malf AI. It's poor design that the AI is encouraged to not use any of it's antag tools because even the process of preparing to buy them can place them in a losing position. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Emagged and Hacked APCs now occasionally flicker a blue effect, and the effect is not visible with cameras. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ghom <42542238+Ghommie@users.noreply.github.com>
