This being a +/- fanatics Martian ship, I'm imagining a scuttling procedure as follows: 1: All crew are given a chance to either escape or take their suicide pills depending on the situation. 2. All compartments are vented to space, then flooded with a mix of pure oxygen & hydrogen from the ship's atmosphere recycling & fuel cell systems which is then ignited, scouring the interior of the ship with fire. Hard sealed and extra sensitive caches of intel are destroyed by failsafe thermite charges. 3. A second venting of compartments, followed by caches of liquid flourine being sprayed into every compartment. 4. Finally, the reactor & weapon capacitors are set to overload, missiles are armed in their magazines, and the ship's sorium tanks are pumped into all compartments.

Surely you just upload the strategic horse porn drive into the browser history? Like come on it's the space future and that means that everyone alive was once an idiot internet kid, we should be doing way worse poo poo than boring cold war infosec. When we jam comms we broadcast smash mouth 200 times on all channels at max volume.

Colonel Sloshmonger points to the petty officer sitting at the navigator's station, "Let's see what's on the far side of this door, and don't bother knocking. Jump!" Flashes of monstrous images fill his reality. Trying in terror to assure himself it wasn't real, he gripps his command chair and waits for it to be over. From far away a mechanical voice shouts something urgent. Looking away from the pasta monster trying to eat his arm, Sloshmonger suddenly sees stars.  Nevets posted:Farewell, brave Martians.

Hot drat  I miss this thread for three months and so far we've --Instigated a communist revolution on Titan -Fought against 3-1 odds and won -Found several alien species -Walked with the mighty space AI -Are now fighting the Shivans and created the God Emperor Star Child Parrot of Humanity. Lets see where this goes...  Also I formally request to be Dorfed, can I lead a construction brigade and build some infrastructure?

For those looking to be space dorfed, check the Officers List to see if you've been added or not yet. If not, toss your name on the bottom of the list on the left, don't mess with anything on the right though. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kWFbm919KKWY9CsJgW5W1a6lll0fGFlT49OS8zTwyCg/edit#gid=0

I have been spelling it wrong. On Purpose. Rangagani. Also, am not seeing Veloxyll Jr anywhere on the list? Did me and the Tarronga get lost on our jump back to earth? (something something 8th personal ungated jump). Rip our survey ship. I mean, we kind of expected that was the case, but it's always good to be sure of these things. It MIGHT have been clear! As for jump point mine-fighters. How compromised would they be if we put a tiny engine (or two) on them? So we don't hace to have them explode every year or two. Since maintenence supplies are something the fleet will always want anyhow. Veloxyll fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Nov 26, 2017 |

I like to think that by now I’ve shaved my head and remodeled the aging, nebula-incompetent Minotaur into a floating space temple dedicated to the veneration of Holy Facility. I spend my time kneeling and praying to Facility for humanity’s deliverance from all of these hostile aliens. Sometimes, late at night and close to a jump point, I can hear Tango. Tango quietly squawks profound wisdoms and dread warnings into my ear from across time and space.

Since maintenance supplies are something the fleet will always want anyhow. It's not too practical unfortunately. These designs are inherently crushed for tonnage and minimum engine size plus fuel tank is 55 tons. We also can't practically match higher maintenance life with higher deployment times, due to the same pressures. Practically speaking we're not going to get giant lasers on tiny designs that aren't horribly compromised in a lot of ways. A single shot 45cm is 70% of tonnage gone right off the bat or even 60% for the more anaemic 38cm Once we start going upwards of 1250 tons and also having them as parasite craft then we can do some insane things (relatively giant "fighters" that live in carriers). If this next system beyond The Pit is also a nebula then I'd be surprised if we don't head that way
