Good news! Even though the server is down, GLloyd has merged some PRs which Vactor now can comfortably update.

I also pushed some other fixes, and messages Vactor asking him to update if e gets a chance when he brings the server back up.

Indeed. Not to mention historic stuff like the East India Company which had a powerful private army, waged full-scale war with Indian states and ended up directly ruling over large areas of India for about 100 years until the government took over.

I always thought of Nanotrasen as being similar to the British East India Company, just like how the Terran Confederacy is similar to the Venetian Republic. In Uristlore, there's no real "good" guys. The least evil you get is the TC, and they're more neutral than anything else. Is NT bad? Depends on who you're asking. Is the Syndicate justified? Who am I to say?

Pretty interesting Glloyd. Would you think you could draw comparisons between Nanotransen and the Dutch East India Company?

Did I say British? I meant Dutch, study for history midterms has addled my brains. You can make comparisons between the British East India Company as well, but the Dutch is more apt. They had their own colonies, their navy was twice the size of their next largest competitor, they were nominally independent, insanely corrupt and had a near monopoly on phoron spices. If that doesn't remind you of NT, I don't know what would :P

Will SM not explode consistently now?

Less consistently. Also, power should take longer to run out in important areas like Engineering, Medbay, Atmos, Hallways, the Bridge and Arrivals.
This is excellent news. Atmos could really do with a second APC, seeing as before it would be in need of door crowbarring before the SM was even turned on. Unless that's what you've done.

Atmos has its own SMES now to keep that APC going.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Oh, thought I was just missing something about the British East India Company and thought Dutch might be interesting as well.  :P

Do you intend to do the thing Bay is doing? Putting those breakers in the departments with their own SMES for emergency power/cutting power if the engineers are dicks?

They do that along with removing 3 of the Smes's from Engineering. I'd like to do something like that to compliment the Engineering Smes's. I'm also adding a fifth solar like Bay did.

They actually didn't remove the 3 SMES. They just installed an *upgraded* SMES in the engine room, with much more storage and output potential.

I'd be up for it. Although the ships would probably have to be cargo tugs, and all the pirates ex-military/sec...

That round wat three hours of extended with a Twilight subplot, ended by two dozen NPC guards swarming the station.

Not worth it.

SecDef Officer (follow) says, "See that C4? Blow the pod open for us."
SecDef Officer (follow) says, "We don't have hands."
SecDef Officer (follow) says, "Augments and such."

Best part of the round.
