If we're going to encounter 10' Space Poles we may also need a Polelarity Reverser.

Actually I think it was "You'll never have the same experience or your time back." But yeah, I loved TWo Fisted Adventures as a kid. I was a little too cheap to buy the real ones, but I'd stay up really late playing this.

Interestingly enough, Void Racers was noted as the inspiration for FTL. Not the primary inspiration, but it's there.

iirc, the Void Racers was more closer to the Mein Kampf

Skinks aren't allowed to take officer positions on Caiman ships but I think there was some way to do the trench coat thing with skinks and fool the caimans into thinking it's one of them?

Fire instantly our Gaton Torpedos and Ghaser Cannons, we won't get a better chance to kick them in their shiny metal balls. Put only the minimum in Shields in the first round, they can't make a good attack back because most of their Power is still in Engines. If they survive our initial attack, put half of our Power in Shields in following rounds.

If we hail them we should first come up with some good paradoxes to ask when they answer.

ha, i was thinking about the same thing



Gilganixon posted:

5 for hailing and 4 for letting them have it.

If we do go into the fight there are a few ways to handle it:you let me run it entirely and put up with the consequences (like last time), agree a general strategy ITT and let me handle it, or I can run through the battle on an IRC channel on SynIRC if whoever's around wants to nerd it out.

Let me know which of the options you prefer and I'll do that from now on. There will probably be at least two or three more starship fights in this game so I'll stick with whichever option we pick now.

if we're going to have only a few starship fights, then i think that we could vote for the tactics itt

1. Give a slave for each soldier and promise to double their rations
2. Bring back Feudalism and give back all the titles and knight all of the soldiers
3. Start a serf and gold coin based economy
4. Crush all riots ruthlessly

Reach into the debris cloud (don't fly into it though) and stuff our cosmonaut's pockets with random handfuls of metal and redshirt Popsicles to snack on later.

We probably need to replace some of the circuit boards and stuff from earlier, and who doesn't like a free space buffet?

Once we've filled our pockets, jump to the next place. The next place being MEDIA
