Can we do A + H? If the course correction is wrong, it's still cheapest to get it further out. Can we crash wake the 2nd navigator instead of the top navigator for an immediate gut check as well? S for the doctor. His story checks out, this sounds exactly like what I deal with at work

Were the dead colonists fingerprinted? Do we have Nwabudike and Dubois fingerprints? Whedon? Did Dr. Horrible ever investigate year 400? How many spare cold sleep beds did we launch with? Can we verify that they weren't ever in use? ... Why would the cold sleep beds NOT contain fingerprints? Why wouldn't the partial print be from a contractor?  Anyway, A as gently caress. Tell him to check the Captain's safe if there is one.

Hey, LLSix, serious question. Is this a truly free form CYOA, or will you be running SMAC in the background to help drive the story? I'm OK either way, I'm just curious.

Honestly, the one satellite would probably be fine as long as you can get it into as stable orbit. Messages can be encrypted (or not if broadcasts) and signed, with chain signing to ensure that a dropped message will be noticed, then relayed to the intended destination via each faction as the satellite passes overhead to allow for relay. As long as there's always a LOS to two factions, a relay works. It would have latency but at least communication would be there.

Don't forget that, at the moment, he's the one with all the It's been strongly hinted that the use of the weapons cache on board would be catastrophic. Aside from killing him, I'm not sure what it would accomplish, either. We cannot subsume his faction since everyone is dropping into different locations.

I'm not sure what the difference is between picking K, and one of the other "transport extra things to the surface" options. Are we just choosing to not open the lander before we use it?

LLSix posted:No-one has expressed a desire to die alone, slowly suffocating and starving, in an empty and fuelless spaceship. Anders, has not come out in favor of any of the factions yet. He's spent 100% of his time on the bridge so it hasn't caused any problems yet, but now that you think about it, you have to wonder how he plans to launch all the colonization landers and get onto one himself. What was the original plan? For all but one of the landers to be launched, then the crew to get into one together and launch? Seems like he could still do that. Which brings up an interesting question: Having an actual, working space ship in orbit would be a huge boon for whichever faction were able to set up a refining operation and launch someone back into it with spare fuel. Is there any sort of agreement or plan about that with the other factions, or is it pretty implicitly "whoever gets there first gets a spaceship!" since there's little else you could do to stop them? Edit: Oh, and were there any plans for launching back into orbit? Can the landers be re-fitted to launching boosters, like SpaceX et al's plan, or do we need to design something entirely new?

nothing to seehere posted:No, orbital mechanics doesn't work like that. Nothing to slow you down in space, so whatever orbit he ends up in he's staying till something disturbs the orbit. While true, it's also possible that he doesn't need to use every last ounce of juice in the ship to drop the pods. Once the colonists are launched, he'll have a little bit of control of his trajectory away from the planet, which will help control his orbit around the sun. It's possible he could engineer an orbit that would put him back on intercept with Hardrock or another planet after several orbits, and using those planets he could adjust his trajectory further to try to re-intercept hardrock on a more favorable trajectory that could eventually get him snagged in Hardrock's gravity well, putting him back in orbit. I mean, look at stuff like The Grand Tour. It's feasible, although unlikely to succeed, and if anyone can do it he can, being quite literally the best astronavigator Earth had to offer. Anyway, 1F, but only a quarter, not half, 2K, 3V.

The crew were pulled from their left. The river flows left to right from their side. This means that they were attacked from upstream. Tentacles would flow downstream from the river due to the current and wait for something to stop on them, then attach and pull. We want to stay up stream where there are no tentacles. B, I then J if there's no obvious viscera. Also, radio back, just in case.

Blasphemaster posted:Volmarias, we also don't have a map of where our guys died. Good conclusions there based on what we know, butwe can't be sure where the main body is, if that's what we're dealing with. You're assuming that there's one main body, and that this isn't one of many independent river trappers. We're 100 meters in to a 2k river, it's unlikely the other colonists got further on their end. Think of it like the barnacles from half life.
