I didn't know that you were appointed as colonial govener wyvren (see I am stupid)

 

And I will end the spam by saying this: Nex's Fault. There, Done Spamming.

Can you two please Stop spamming the thread, its getting annoying, Either take this to the Back room or PM, it doesn't need to be in the Topic for Space.

 

On topic: For those of you who missed it I was appointed as the colonial Governer.

Ohlawd, the pony-lover's in charge. I expect everything to go to hell shortly. (KIDDING, KIDDING, don't kill me please)

 

Then again, I'm a tactical AI, so I should have plans for everything going to hell regardless of whether it does or not.

Roight, spam removed. I really am a hypocrite, complaining about the advertisement and then derailing things. :D

 

Moving on... Anyone know what I should do with 12,440kT and a Heavy Destroyer?

Hmmm.....It depends on why everything is going to "hell" (which there is no such thing as because since World War Three is on it's way, so we're already living in it)

Oh, this isn't hell. It really isn't.

 

You don't KNOW hell until SI goes Nitrous Oxide Simulation Loop on you. Then it just becomes a mindscrew.

:| I guess you're right (for once) Nex.

 

[hide=Come to think of it,] I don't believe in hell. To me, it's just an Underworld and the bad people get their hearts eaten then tourtured and the good get to enjoy the underworld. (I'm Pagan, deal with it)[/hide]

But.... That's not what Pagans believe.

Be wary with the Dame, the tensions between us and her are arleady so high due to me. (lol)

But.... That's not what Pagans believe.

It'll be fine... Unless she sends more stupidly bureaucratic soldiers. O:)

Pagan is a bit of a blanket term, if you ask me. Just like how Christianity (in all of its subsets), Islam (see note about Christianity)and Judaism (Again, see note about Christianity) are all Abrahamic religions one can be a pagan and believe in a completely different set of gods/principles . (Admittedly the example is flawed due to a shared belief of one specific god in the Abrahamic religions, but still the point stands.) Now, judging by what Lynx has posted before hand, I would say she belongs to the wiccan subset of the category of religions referred to as pagan. That being said, I think calling yourself a pagan is rather pointless as almost all religions/philosophies at least have a name. I would go on to say that it is rather pointless to talk about your religion in general on a role playing game thread that is of the sci fi genre (however soft it may be).

Ah, right. So I'll be helping you dudes with the Colony. How did the Pirate mission go, btw?

We have no phobias, allergies or illnesses like hyperlipidemia, anemia or diabetes unless we specify so ourselves, right?

Obviously. It's your character you make them up.

Yeah, unless something comes up at some point to give you something. (@mather)

 

 

Earth, the pirate mission was resolved successfully.

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure since it'd be a real pain in the ass too have a stroke, shock, seizure, panic attack or asphyxiation on the battlefield or when piloting a ship.

For me it was turrible, extreamly turrible (I know thats not how terrible is spelt, but some famous sports player or something said it). I kept dying. Conclusion: I hate pirates (minus Jack Sparrow, he's cool)

 

:| Shoot, Archi, will it cost me kT if I decide to research and make a needle shooter?

Lynx, research is still puzzles, making it costs kT.

Chi, I still have like 17 research points to use up freely, I don't need to worry about puzzles for a while. I'm only worried about the kT part.

 

How do I earn kT anyway?

Allowance, payment, mining or stealing/looting.

:| Not very helpful Chi. I don't own a mining ship, I don't think I have an allowance, I'm not being payed (nor do I have a paycheck), and in my opinion stealing and looting is wrong unless if the person is dead and can't come back to life.

 

I wonder if I could make some money singing when I'm on a planet (one thats not infected and going to kill me)

Money, maybe, but 1 EC is 1/100th kT, so you might have to sing for a year before you can afford to make that weapon. Also note that it'll liley cost less than 10kT so you can just ask for some materials.

1/1,000th

 

1,000 c=1 EC

1 kT = 1,000 EC

 

A bread roll costs around 20 c. With a full days worth of food costing around 130 c.

So I'm screwed basically? Damn.

 

..... What about upgrading or learning a new skill (like for instance, shooting a plama fire wave by swinging my sword) with the weapons I already have? Would that cost me kT or something?

Archi, I think you SERIOUSLY screwed up that conversion table. :P

 

Lynx, YOU CANNOT SHOOT FIRE WITH A SWORD UNLESS IT'S A SWORD DESIGNED TO SHOOT FIRE. Which would be ridiculous, grab a damn lazer instead. If your Plasma Sword already has the capacity to extend the blade that far, maybe through overclocking or something, then you don't need anything to do it. You may need Swordsmanship skill levels to do it well.

 

Also, Lynx, I might need a few research points, and I could pay you for them.

 

SI, I think we should just give up on the puzzles and try out some more practical method... Researcher starting benefits represent a lifetime so far's achievements, and that is fine, but we don't actually invest anything of note with the puzzles. Face it, we're all more likely to be patrons than actual researchers, both for our own personality and our place as settlers and officers.

 

I say we phase out the puzzles, if not remove them immediately. When is the last time one has been completed, or an individual has even inquired after one? We need a more practical method, while the game itself is lovely, part of the original Space's charm for some of us was coming up with wacky and useful devices to replace or combat more mundane technologies.

 

Of course, I could be misinterpreting, but I don't think anyone wants to be limited to a choice of permanently losing a technobabble in exchange for some paltry quantity of research points or simply going without personalized items.

Archi, I think you SERIOUSLY screwed up that conversion table.

How so?

 

 

Puzzles:

I believe I sent the details relating to this to Mather:

Prototypes represent me rolling two d20s(secretly). First roll is how OP it is, second roll is how underpowered it is. It is then up to you to find out the rolls.

Asking the SI will not work, VI or AI will (secretly) roll a d10 and give you the two rolls + or - that.

So if I rolled 3 and 9 you might get -7 and 19, if I then rolled a 10. (With some clever maths you can work out a smaller range)

Prototyping rolls increase or decrease this die if they are relatable.

 

 

As for doing research itself, I believe I posted a conversion of 1,000 kT to 1 tech point.

Also I have said you could undertake cyberwarfare...or even break into tech buildings and steal research...missions.

<_< There is no need to yell at me Nex, I haven't done anything stupid today.

 

And a blade that shoots, say, plasma flames doesn't have to be extended. I could probably learn abit of psiconics and use that to control when I shoot a plasma ball. I also still have the TBS, if I really badly want to shoot a plasma something (or anything for that matter) at someone, I'll just have to learn to use it (again). I also might as well see if I can get the TBS to fold in on itself/ shrink/ open up and materialize into the TBS (like the Lightcycles in Tron Legacy; see hidden video to see what I mean) to make it more portable. My sword and sheild could also possibly need the ability to be more portable

 

As for the swordmanship skill levels, I have no clue how to even get to skill level one. If someone can tell me how to do that then that would be helpful.

 

[hide=Opening of the Lightcycle sequence from Tron Legacy] I'm sorry for the dumb comments and stuff in the video, I didn't make the video.
