So, as a crewmember onboard an SSN, one of the things that confuses me greatly about the SSV Normandy mk II is that they have two engineers, which (and I don't know about the surface fleet) only has one Engineer, who is generally an important enough guy to wear the rank of an O-4 despite usually not actually being an O-4, and he doesn't actually do any engineering work, he's got four divisions in his department to take care of the engineroom, the SSN's back-half. I get that Cerberus isn't really military, but it's still surprising that these two engineering academy grads are doing what is essentially enlisted work, and that they're essentially the only two doing it.

There's a lot of non specified crew on the ship though. I always thought the named few you meet are just kind of representative. I was usually more puzzled about what all those stations on the CIC area are for. How much sitting in chairs poking at screens can a ship need?

They could be redundant systems and things, fire control and electronic warfare stations and the like, rigged up in case EDI crashes or goes offline. Or, they might just be additional readouts of ship status and conditions. On my ship's equivalent to a ship's CIC, there are two-to-four manned stations, and something like ten additional screens that don't have anybody manipulating them, except maybe to bring up a different screen that somebody wants to look at. Or, just maybe, they looked cool, so they put a bunch of 'em in, but that would be ridiculous, right? SS-Kumei fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Apr 25, 2016 |

Next update's ingredients: Whiskey (or whisky) Ginger ale Orange bitters A note on the bitters: They can be hard to find if you don't have a decent liquor store and can be a bit expensive. If you're lacking bitters then either pull a long piece of rind from an orange (use a paring knife and don't cut into the white pith part as it tastes lovely) or use a microplane if you don't mind a bit of texture in your drink.

So far the profiles of the new Normandy crew sounds like the kind of army a corporate entity would come up with if all it had was money and all we could get were humans. But I guess there aren't human mercs in the ME universe.

Main thing to remember is that Cerberus is highly distrustful of nonhumans and vice versa due to their pro-human, boot-on-the-rest-of-the-galaxy ambitions, and that Cerberus is pretty broadly [and appropriately] considered an extremist terrorist organization. So yeah, it's gonna have trouble with outsourcing, mostly getting people who they have leverage on, fanatic loyalists, or misguided idealists convinced that all the bad stuff is just slander.

We're about to get the best Guddam Human Merc, too. Also, bitters aren't that hard to find at all. Angostura bitters should be in just about every grocery store in the soft drink aisle.

SubponticatePoster posted:Next update's ingredients: Or make your own bitters by using the vodka from last time. Peel the rind of an entire orange or two (You want this super strong) and put them in a bit of vodka, the amount really doesnt matter so long as it is the minimum needed to cover the rinds. Now either leave to stand and by the time the episode is out bam you got bitters. If you are well stocked and also have a hobby chemist/distiller setup: Get your orange rinds, cardamom, caraway and coriander (omit if you have that soapy coriander gene) and stick all that lovely stuff with vodka in your reflux tower.

It's because they've learned the UK's lesson of treating adults like grown-ups and letting them buy whatever and however much liquor they want from every corner shop and grocery store, SOMEHOW results in a country with a very high rate of alcohol abuse. I think we should come up with some potential thread drink names. I don't really know many drink names but here's a start.

You can do some poo poo to get a save imported on a console, actually. Also Gibbed's ME2 tools let you customize any flag you want. The default state for ME2 is basically "every possible callback is dead so you don't have them" which is smart for a new player but frustrating for anyone else. Bioware admitted after the fact they had no idea so many people would import from ME1 to 2. Like...way more people than they thought ended up doing it.

And it's such an easy fix, too: just create some BS reason to require one of your newbie party members to come along the first time you land on Tuchanka, meet Wrex, and Shepard does a quick explanation of who he is for their sake when they have no idea who he is.
