Increased MindSwap Odds
It was a bit too rare, rng on top of rng, now players actually get a chance to be mindswapper.
About the PR
Increased MindSwap psionic ability chance.
Why / Balance
It was too rare.
Changelog
Changed MindSwap chance from 0.15 to 0.5
Ignoring the wild implications of this, given that this is stronger than mass sleep, this needs a Delta-V comment because you're modifying Nyanotrasen code
thank you, however I believe mass sleep is actually stronger? given that it affects multiple target at once, it is a stronger combat ability.
Hello, as it currently stands Mindswap results in nuclear operatives being completely removed from the game when you mindswap them. Personally, I am completely unwilling to increase the chance of this occurrence happening while this bug is in effect. You can track the issue here: https://github.com/DeltaV-Station/Delta-v/issues/915

how about giving nukie some kind of mindshield against mindswap....is that possible?

Yes, but not the desired solution to that problem. While you could give Nukies psionic insulation, it doesn't solve the core issue of Nukie players being ghosted on mindswap

to have a fun mechanic/ability being near unobtainable due to a bug seems wrong though...

I will add that #915 has no reproduction aside from anecdote; and it's hard to say how much of it is ancient MindSwap code and how much of it is actually related to Nukies. It may not even be an issue now; after the antag rework :shrug:
currently mindswap is actually lower than 0.15 chance of getting
currently mindswap is actually lower than 0.15 chance of getting
Depends how the game picks the powers, could be far lower than 0.15 but I don't remember which type of random picking is really bad and which one is fine.
If it helps, I'm one of the anecdotes- I mindswapped a nukie and round removed them a few months ago. I've never seen that behavior on any other antagonist. I'm sure the code is ancient and unreliable- but I do strongly believe we should be fixing issues before considering balance changes.

I do wish MindSwap become more accessible sometime soon.

Your only bet is hoping Nyanotrasen or someone of the sort rewrites it, anyone who knows anything about this code is long gone :)

Im all for the bandaid fix of checking whether a person have nukie role for mindswap.
As this is a funny balance change moment ill have to run this by the admins real quick
The general consensus seems to be we don't want the odds to be increased on this
