Move to Polaris Codebase

[Kayleen]

Right, I didn't mean either the current bar or cafeteria should go, just one of them. I meant that to be ambiguous.

Oh yea the new code is way less fucking laggy.

Did you download it? We can reduce run speed if you want but I just gliiiiide across the station.

Can those who are experienced with Polaris code present any possible downsides apart from having to learn a new map, for the sake of argument?

Merging the coffee shop with the bar is a good idea, I especially like it as a deliberate area set aside for coffee with a different theme and color. But the cafeteria I'd appreciate if it remained as a separate "here is where you eat" place. Specifically because of the implied relations between sitting in a cafeteria when you have no mechanical reasons to actually stay there for more than a few seconds, and the name of the station is Virgo. If we could have sitting in the cafeteria be code for "I am searching for a scene" and sitting in the bar be code for "I am waiting around talking" thats all the better.

Too public of a place where everyone can see everyone is great for STARTING a scene, not so much for actually moving through with it.

But it also means everyone's spread over all over the place, which isn't really that fun at all and itself limits potential scenes further.

Uh, well i think the only issue with switching to polaris, Is the reimplimentation of our current Vore code

Dun worry about that.

FYI I went and got on Polaris and ahelped to talk to staff, and discussed us forking from them. They are very friendly, didn't really care if we mentioned we forked from them (I offered them the option of us just kinda quietly doing it in case they didn't want to be associated), and seem like good people.

I'd be all for moving our codebase to Polaris, as they appear to be very active and have some superb features.
