SS13 has given me some of the best memories playing games, ever. A playable AI, objectives that each class needs, a few PCs playing sinister characters... it was so. much. fun! My favourite mode was the "Thing" mod, where one player was the "Thing", you could turn into people you killed, but players at the start of the round didn't know which mode it was, so they wouldn't know (until you were found).

Getting access to the AI and rewriting its rules so it killed everyone on the ship or helped you at the expense of others

An atmosphere physics system that caused insane lag spikes but allowed you to make bombs with pretty much anything

Spend a couple of rounds messing with the radiation / gene editing machine to turn people into superhumans

Be a clown (that everyone hates)

Honestly, I spent a summer playing this game and it was marvellous. Even with the horrendous lag that the game suffered from.

It must be about 12 years ago I played this, still one of the best multiplayer games I ever played.
