Tachyon?

 

Do you guys even have tachyons? Or even know how to use them?

[Seraphi]

I think we'll stick to the mining ships we already have, Chi. 180kT for a decent resource rate. Unless that ship can get over 5kT a minute, it just can't compare.

[archimage_a]

Nice design.

Transporters, lvl 2, are 330 kT

Drone launchers are 10 kT each

Destroyer hull is 400 kT

 

Dual cloaks would only be effective if one of the cloaks failed.

 

Tachyon Projection Cannon would only effect Weapons...I assume your plan is to disable weapons and then board? The only issue here is that with shields up transporting onto the enemy ship won't be possible.

 

 

@Ross

I think the ship is more purposed towards find a Russian ship, disabling its weapons, boarding, killing the crew and then taking the ship back to the Station(of which I forget the name).

[Seraphi]

Sounds risky. We should work on our existing warship stocks before doing that sort of thing, though I'm not ruling it out in the future.

 

Another thing is that Russian ships are apparently lower quality compared to other nations.

[Earth]

Hmm. I need to work out some of the kinks in my ship designs at the moment, but we need hull upgrades. IF we can get to level 20, then that meanst 2 extra bays to play with. And, i would like to make the Home Guard ship the standard for building new stations like the Asgard. It may be usefull if we can set up shop in a new system as quick as possible.

[The_Mather1]

Actually the tachion cannons were for a "Let's get the hell out off here!" maneuver or keep weapons deactivated while drones do their job. Though I am planning a boarding ship, though I can't find anything Y shaped so I might need to use an O shaped ship for that.

Okay I am confused: we are currently being attacked by killer moss/mold/whatever and Mass effect type Husks on a multipurpose space base that is an alien military base, Research Base, Ice cream Factory, drink factory, and Arboreum(SP?) that has a giftshop/visitor center in addition to those evil doorknobs?

AI Reminds:

There was no factory floor on the lift panel, and the military...or indeed Alieness, of the base has yet to be confirmed.

 

AI Explains(Arboretum, such a terrible word):

It is common, in space theory, that where colonies/long term residential ships will be formed, the requirements of air and recreation be met in some manner. While opinion is largely undecided, and uninterested, in the application of trees are oxygen recyclers, there is almost universal agreement that a cool breeze, a forest and waterfall are a good way to relax...especially in a world dominated by fast communication by phone and computer.

It has, however, been noted that forested areas tend to carry with them alot of frustrating upkeep requirements, and when people go off for walks they can't be contacted easily, thus, while people agree in principle, in practicality most colonies have a number of T-Bit Transceiver links and a computer in every room.

Exemplified by the Unity.

 

In addition, wooden doors and door knobs tend to inspire a connected and lively organisation, as opposed to a funcional system.

 

 

Databank Infomation:

'Husks' were extensively used by the Japanese as primative AIs. Samples of various chemicals were injected, the small amount of organic tissue reacted and this was recorded by the 'Husks' memory unit, then it could be examined.

 

Speculation:

'Husks' escaped the destroyed Japanese Ganymede Base, wandered the planet, found the entrance, wandered about, since they are not 'aggressive by nature...Though many consider Humans the bringers of pain.

But given their number it is probably they have been replicating, introducing copy errors, potentially turning them into homicidal maniacs.

 

 

(The husks are one of those times when the game designer hand waved (Since this one is more railroaded than the last, and having a shuttle sitting outside seemed to go against that) and it was so, though I couldn't sleep, so invented the above backstory...They don't come up again for the duration...and before anyone blamed Faust it was planned in advance, Faust being bored just meant instead of seeing them climb over the top of the thing/feeling them grab someone from behind or looking down to see them climbing the metal pole, you got 2 minutes warning)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I have been reminded it is my Birthday on Monday...So I won't be running a session that day...

So Sunday, Wednesday and then break for Christmas, returning to normal on the 27th(Monday)?

Or Tuesday, Thursday, Monday?

 

If anyone has any preferences please say.

Alas they dont seem to be offering any tours anymore if they ever did.

okay, the Alien nature of this base is not proven, though its likely as its not often humans encrypt every single thing in a base with an annoying cipher intended for visitors. On the Military Point I have to disagree and say that its obvious this base has some involvement with the military due to the fact that 1/4 of the Base is clearly labeled as Zone B Military Personal. Also unless the Icecream and drink factories are in another location on this planet, asteroid, or object the pamphlet suggests that this is the factory.

That schedule should work, though I will be busy part of the day on sunday when I am heading home for break. no real clue on wednesday yet.

Well, technically it is alien, since alien only means foreign.

[archimage_a]

Semantics...You can't mean with it and you can't mean without it.

Sorry, can't come to the session.. Work, cleaning, and a general disinterest in Puzzles and such prevents me.

[The_Mather1]

Yay, lvl 1 Mark II piloting and lvl 4 nanite research!

[Nexaduro]

So... session over then? Did anything happen?

[archimage_a]

Broke into a room with an unlocked door, translated the writing on some cans...wished me happy birthday...The usual.

[Nexaduro]

Happy birthday. :)
