Vgstation13: Catbeasts shouldnt have round ending viruses

[Diavill]

catbeasts exist so that they can be killed and be something the crew can unite and look forward to beat the shit out off to blow off steam or some shit
now you get giga aids, thanks d*ety
also in general virus shit needs to be toned down because I dont think viruloose is fun or engaging for the crew and only causes malicious anger towards medbay during rounds

[boy2mantwicethefam]

hahaha how are diseases real just wear internals hahaha wear gloves

[Irradiation]

Have to wear internals, latex gloves and preferably a hardsuit all round to evade nu-viro memes.

Truly the fashy future.

[ShiftyRail]

Catbeast diseases should only be inconviences
Keep in mind this role do not exist to be a threat in itself

[DeityLink]

Alright. I'll tone it down.

[DeityLink]

For now I'll halve it, we'll see how this pans out #23532

Also reminder that #23522 is still awaiting merge

[tuypo1]

Better idea, make them just take a long time to become contagious so unless the crew drags their feet they won't get sick
Maybe not make them really bad diseases though

[DeityLink]

@tuypo1 The entire point was to have the crew equip with sterile gear BEFORE hunting the catbeast but I guess I expected too much of our blood crazed validhunters.

As a fact from the rounds I played CMO or Virologist, Security are the ones most consistently getting diseases and not being aware of it.

That's just shitty design
Disease should be a punishment for not killing it not something you have to deal with while killing it.

Like I said even if you kill them unprotected you have at least 20 minutes to get vaccinated before stage 4 kicks in.
