Ralith posted:How many times has she broken our stuff in the process? She breaks things all the time, but she always either fixes it or replaces it. Aurora comes from a rich family. Her parents are both politicians. You wonder how much of her personal wealth is actually legitimate between all of the politics and hacking. She's always had the latest devices and tends to give you her previous models. Her parents love her but are always busy and hardly around. Churchill's family is middle class. He has several brothers and sisters. Churchill is probably the quietest one, and he's still very loud. He likes hanging out with you guys because it's so crazy around his house. He has to share a room with one of his brothers, so Aurora set him up with his own room at her house that he stays at sometimes. The three of you usually hung out at Aurora's house because it was so much nicer and had more fun stuff. And her parents were like, never home.

Your body roars to life! You can feel your friends standing on the center part of your upper hull, but you can't manipulate your hull to open. You open the doors instead and hope they can notice it, even though the doors are below them. You find the communication channel the guards are using and blast the loudest noise you can think of. Maximum intensity. If one was to be able to listen without their eardrums exploding, they might make out something like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-vREvJHH9Y You can see the guards scream as the noise overwhelms their communication channels. Three of them remove their helmets but the fourth just collapses to the ground. You activate your side laser turret and unleash a small, weak volley aimed around the guards. Between the flashes of lasers and sounds of explosions, they are completely panicked and retreat to the door. Eggbot, I need you here on the ship. Eggbot dutifully complies and drives up the ramp. You're not sure if he can really tell what's happening around him, but he does move very quickly for a little robot. Your friends notice the covering laser fire and Eggbot's escape and start climbing down the side of the ship to the door. Once they're safely inside, you seal the door behind them. You can't tell how far away the reinforcements are, but you ARE sure they aren't able to communicate on any local channels. You take a few shots at the door just in case. Your thrusters ignite with a roar! It feels liberating in a way, as your hull lifts off the ground. You hover carefully to position your main cannon to point at the weak spot in the hangar door. FWOOOOOSH The main laser cannon bursts forth a brilliant beam of intense energy that makes contact with the door and obliterates a hole big enough to fit through. You brace your thrusters to hold against the impact of depressurization. Dozens of large cargo crates and containers blast through the hole, a couple hitting your ship. These bounce harmlessly off your hull as the room stabilizes. Once the pressure equalizes, you move towards the door. This is all coming together surprising well, isn't it? You bring your thrusters up to push yourself forward and glide through the new exit. You can see the vast expanse of space. You know that the guards must have spacecraft, so you'll need to get away fast! How are you going to get away? a. Hail a cab! b. Hide in the nearby asteroid belt to buy yourself time to charge a jump. c. Just jump anyway! You can probably take a few minutes to charge a jump straight forward to an unknown spot in space. d. Ah screw it. Spend the time to charge a jump to the nearest spaceport. There's one near Mars. e. ... Or Jupiter. f. Or Earth! g. Just use your normal thrusters to get away! h. Hang out around the shipyard. i. Power down! All that excitement makes you really want to take a nap. What are you going to do when you get away? a. Explore space! Travel to distant galaxies and try and find things! b. Space pirate! Rob merchants and acquire wealth! c. Space merchant! Get robbed by pirates and acquire wealth! d. Bounty hunt! Track down bounties and claim your reward! e. Space seduce women across the galaxy. f. Find out more about the ship and how it works. Who built it, why and how? g. Write in.

Do we have a general understanding of what each of those options represents in terms of risks vs rewards? Also, do we have any idea what our supplies are?SerSpook posted:B Pretty much this. We can just flip from one thing to the next as we see fit. If someone is nice to us we might do a quest for them in exchange for rewards. If someone's a jerk, then they can have a run in with Dread Space Pirate Esker, the creepy living pirate ship. Should we make Eggbot our first mate? Or is he just the head chef for now?

If we go the C route, will we know where we are relative to other places when we arrive? Can jumps be traced based on their origin? Will we easily be able to make a jump to somewhere else after our initial jump in terms of resources? Edit: Changing my B vote to C I'm assuming these jokers probably put a close range tracking device on their very expensive experimental ship and playing a rigged game of hide and seek with them might not be very fun.

ElrondHubbard posted:If we go the C route, will we know where we are relative to other places when we arrive? Yes. Jumping involves connecting two points in space together, so you'd have to know where that other point is. The idea is that you don't care where you're going to, as long as it's to a reasonably safe distance directly in front of you. quote:Can jumps be traced based on their origin? You can tell which direction a jump has happened, but not how far. A jump leaves a massive energy signature that can tell you a jump happened and the direction. It's hard to chase a jumper unless you knew exactly how much energy they used and it's hard to know that unless you knew how much time they spent charging the jump. IF you witness the moment of charging, and assume that the power transfer is identical across most starships (it is), you can follow a jump exactly. Charging is extremely obvious because most ship systems have to shut down to be able to power the jump. Notably, shields lowered. You could obfuscate this though. Drop shields before charging. Slow power transfer on purpose. Stuff like that would lead to them overshooting your actual coordinate. quote:Will we easily be able to make a jump to somewhere else after our initial jump in terms of resources? You estimate that you have enough fuel to do a short jump and then a second, longer jump to just about anywhere in the galaxy, but you'll need to refuel.

Do we have enough fuel to do multiple jumps in system? Could we charge 2 minutes and jump, then charge 1 minute and jump in another direction, then jump to a station for fuel?
