Hey - have we got any extra laspistol charge packs? Cause if we don't it might get a little...awkward when I run out of charges. I could probably pull a "my character would have two reloads, three at most" due to smuggling background (gasp, giving away mah backies) but apart from that.

Laspistols are not ammunition based. The only ammo based weapons we have are kinetic firearms and grenade launchers.

Really? I might need to do some reading of the much, much earlier posts...
Is there anybody else going in with us? Two against eight doesn't seem like great odds.

We are the named characters. Domas and I usually run with a squad sized element. about 8.

(Upgraded) Laser blasters: Simple and cheap weaponry. Uses a chemical reaction to create a somewhat powerfull laser. Batteries last long and can be recharged. Sadly, due to cheap lenses and a fairly weak laser, these are neither accurate nor particulary deadly.

Not exactly what I had in mind for a laser pistol - I thought effective yet costly - but it works for me. Still you are sort of right in the fact that they aren't kinetic/slug-throwers, and that the battery lasts "long" - but I'd still like one or two extra batteries "just in case".
Oh and would it be possible to have my "blaster" be modified so that its effective instead of being weak and inaccurate. If so, i'd probably make it more accurate rather than increase damage...
I should probably still ask if there are troopers coming with us.

And I still think its the perfect time for some in character chat!

Nastasi, Help Lucas figure out that spacesuit. His shit is all jacked up. Form up when both of you are ready. Hydrogen squad, form up!"

Boots clank around in a rush and team leaders begin yelling for a bit as people fall into place, forming a seven man line.

"First is up."
"Second is up."
"Third is up."

"Roger that. Lucas, come over here when you are set.

[Big_James_B]

"It's alright I can...well, yeah I'll need some help." Lucas responded, looking at the hugely different suit that was in front of him. He'd put on space suits before, but this stuff was...hell, was this military grade hardware? Lucas allowed Nastasi to help him get into the suit - he couldn't help but notice the slight smirk on Nastasis' face.
"You should be ready for combat now!" Nastasi snickers, getting themselves ready before quickly shuffling into line with the others. Lucas stood momentarily confused - both by the quickness of how Nastasi helped him put his suit, armour, whatever it is on, and the fact that the entire group of people here worked...in military precision.
"Oh lord, what have I gotten myself into..." Lucas murmurs as he hefts his laser pistol and flips out the LED readout on its side. Fully charged. Good.
"First is up!"
"Second is up!"
"Third is up!" Lucas turned back to the line of people, the woman who seemed to be the leader of this group.
"Roger that - Lucas, come over here when you are all set." Lucas took one last look over the suit he wore, making sure that everything looked..."normal" before joining the line of people. He took one look down the line before taking a step towards the woman.
"What is exactly happening? I was in engineering when the ship rocked slightly - all I know is that three missiles were on a collision course with our ship..."

Ahhh screw it - I'll take a better look at it tomorrow. Which in my case means in oh...5+ hours time.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

"Well it turns out we missed one of the missiles and got stuck. The missile is on our hull and is getting either sawn off or matched for freq so it doesn't explode. We are preparing to attack the pirates when this whole warhead situation get's ironed out. That way we get the most intact loot from these guys and get to see some bounties. Also I'm not particularly worried about this warhead. We have each section locked off from where it is attached. It isn't good, but it isn't the worst thing. The pirates aren't very smart, relying on us to start freaking out over the possibility of our ship getting a scratch. Hey Lucas, hold on a sec." Shia turns to her squad "At ease!"

The group visibly relaxes and starts chatting quietly.

"No need to have them at attention this whole time, we don't know how long this will take. You look kind of confused, do you have any questions for me Lucas?"

[Big_James_B]

"Yes, for starters we haven't been properly introduced and you seem to be quite familiar with my name. You are?..."

[Gotdamnmiracle]

"Oh yes! My apologies, word travels quick on such a small craft. Shia Trotskia, grand to meet you." She offers a hand.

[Big_James_B]

Lucas takes Shia's hand and grasps it firmly.
"Lucas Knight - but you already know that. The "entertainer"..." Lucas snaps his fingers in a vain attempt to remember her name.
"She 'recruited' me when I expressed interest in joining the crew. You see she was talking to my friend and former employer 'The Olde Merchant', and since I didn't want to be kept in one place too long...but later. What are we equipped with when it comes down to the shooting? I've got my old blaster here, but maybe packing something heavier wouldn't be that bad of an idea."

Good lenses are expensive, but such an installation would increase accuracy tremendously. You could probably increase laser output to increase damage, but with far lower battery life.

Oh, and I accidentally left the turn on another computer, so I can update only tomorrow.

ah. ok.

Can someone chuck me some small rockets as you go by? I think they might want this back.

Good idea. I wonder if we could rip some of the jets out of a few of our smaller rockets.

[Aseaheru]

besides, it might save us a bit of coin.
