Shia uses the downtime to try and work out the kinks in the plasma cannon.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Let's check into the mercenary thing, maybe we could negotiate part of our fee as mining rights!

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Bump. +1 to above.

You decide to buy a single tow missile, and check in for repairs. Sadly,  it appears that this system does not posses it's own repair system. However, you do check for alternatives. It appears there's a large commercial shipyard one jump away, and the pirates hint that their base has repair systems too. (Note to self do sector map) They are also quick to note that there are multiple pirate cartels. Their is one of the older, but less armed ones. The current pirate operations are mostly the cause of an influx of new pirates, armed with state of the art weaponry. For now you do some basic repairs yourself, and manage to get the plasma cannon back online, fixing the fried fuse that caused the problem.

Taking up contact with the MMC is succesfull. While they aren't willing to give out mining rights to everyone who asks about them, they offer you an alternative. They want you to provide security for one of their mining groups, and are willing to give you a 10% share of the gathered resource. You are expected to prevent the mining group from being harmed though.

If you want an action executed by the crew, just type and bold it. If you want it to be done by your character, please explicitedly state so, and use bold +Italics.
Character actions might be ignored during conflicts or for secret GM reasons.

Anyway, going to list combat modifiers just because I can. These are not used in the previous encounter, because the system wasn't ready. These can be subject to additional modifiers from player actions.

For targetting:
Cruiser class weaponry: - 4
No targetting computer: -2
Laser weaponry: +2
MQ targetting sensor: 0 (No sensor= -2)
Evasive manoevres: +2 (Requires thrusters)


Damage:
Cruiser class weaponry: + 4
Depends on rail gun ammo: +X
Cruiser class medium armor: +6
armor damage: -2

Feel free to ask for a map, or try to explore on your own. The plot is rigid enough for me to avoid railroading.

Sounds fair, let's do it.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I suggest

1) Accept MMC offer, they may be a good ally
2) Buy 25 MQ resources
3) Repair fighters using MQ resources\scrap\small thrusters
4) Arm them with those hand made missiles. Do not remove railguns from the boat. I prefer 3 fighters
5) Use advanced tools and crawler drones to replace LQ patches with something at least marginally better (we did those with no tools from pure scrap, now we can make something better). Use MQ resources and scrap for that. And, hell, install military grade plates, it's dead cargo without any reason.
6) If we can find : buy some heavy scrap, like ordinary rocks\rockdust to fill our railgun containers. And reload one heavy slug gun with it
7) spend rest of our credits on food\fuel

8 ) Oh, and load mosquito missiles in missile launchers

We never bought advanced tools. I'm fine with everything else though.

[TopHat]

Really? I thought we did buy them.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Advanced tools [20]

We did

I am still not sure about pirates loyalty, it can be hilarious  if we get attacked by their friends and they switch sides. But it's worth a risk

BTW
Diana spends all her time with pirates, trying to befriend them and integrate in our nice friendly crew

[Ukrainian Ranger]

And , almost forgot
9) disassemble jammers on the fighters for useful electronics\resources. Try to improve sensors\computing system with this parts

I really don't want to carry illegal stuff on our ship and we need better electronics

Charlie joins Diana in befriending the ex-pirates.

[Zako]

I think we should put the railguns on one of the fighters, since the third fighter isn't actually a fighter but a transport and we only have 2 dedicated fighter pilots, not 3. Attach them to the fighter without the damaged engines and load it up with the proper ammo and 2 of the unguided missiles. 4 unguided missiles on the other fighter since it has no other weapons.

Make sure to repair the engines of the damaged fighter and to attach a small thruster to each fighter if it will make a difference.
