I was just brazenly assassinated... I think by the mush.  Probably wasn't a gullible fool, since someone else was attacked right after I died.  Though if it was a gullible one... they probably must have hoodwinked em really good.

Would be interesting to get into a group game sooner or later, but maybe I'll get some more experience under my belt.  I still don't know how a lot of things work.

Still in my second game. We might just save ourselves at 1 oxygen left, maybe 0.

(I was told that after 0 oxygen, someone randomly dies each cycle).

First thing I figured is that there really does not seem to be a good reason to NOT find a planet so soon. Have a couple people do scans (Twice I think to see the atmospheric type) and figure out where the nearest ones with oxygen would be and make sure people know where it is and the details. Then check on further characteristics if you can and report.

Not very fond of running down the tanks in both my games, gah.

Next game I definitely want to be the botanist. The botanist going afk basically means suffocation guaranteed it seems.

... But something else will go wrong!  And you'll want X character to be active too...

My ship started off fairly strong. We started with a witch hunt but didn't kill anyone unwisely. Found out that Hua was the mush after she didn't do her duties. Stephen cornered her, she grabbed a blaster and transformed, took out his ears, tongue, voicebox and writing ability. Stephen later did finished her off and surgery on himself. Other Mush goes to infect someone and assassinate Chun, but Chun decided to kill herself from depression. Chao killed off the mush easily with a headshot.

One Mush was converted shortly before her death. This leads the crew to go on crazy morale boosting techniques and go on a wild Mush hunt. Then NERON triggers a warning that we're low on oxygen. We move the ship to an unknown planet with no oxygen to evade Hunters. Nobody has any luck finding a planet with oxygen... until one of them suddenly finds a good planet out of sheer luck.

Playing Jin Su, I coordinated the move to that new planet while we were under heavy Hunter fire and random fires starting and spreading throughout the ship. Finally we get our bearing and fuel right and... turns out that one of the Hunters, an Arack, prevents take off. I waste about 3 APs trying to move the ship before realizing that this isn't a random event.

We have about 4 Aracks to shoot down before we can move the ship. Chao comments that he could just shoot us all if we didn't want a slow painful death. Not sure if he was serious. Oxygen level is at 2. So close, yet so far.

We're taking final guesses at who the mush is and wait for our fighter pilots to go out there and shoot some Aracks. There's also two massive asteroids about to hit the ship in a few cycles.

As commander of my dying, low morale ship, my last act will be to rename the Daedelus to Murderboat.

I was the mush so this was a fun announcement. I still think Roland from my game was a B12 guy... strikes me as one of you guys. Active, roleplaying, despite being very new.

I do see the complaints about the pace of the game, but I think you guys might be missing something. Laying in a bed at the end of a cycle doubles your AP generation, and considering you can convert 1 AP into 3 MP, you basically double how much you can do. Other actions such as taking pills (One kind gives you 3 AP every cycle you take one, for example), or eating a meal (a cooked ration gives you 4 AP) really does make the game more fluid. As research and new inventions are made, this improves even further.

How do you convert AP to MP?

[Tnx]

It's automatic when you run out of MP.

Automatically 1 AP to 3 MP   and Tnx beat me too it.

So I'll add:

Spoiler: Not really spoilers, but you may want to find it out yourself. (click to show/hide)

Gravity machine being damaged = 1 AP to 2 MP  (No MP regen)
If you have the scooter, it is 1 AP to 4 MP.  But it must recharge...

[Tnx]

Ugh, I hate it when people hoard coffee in their inventories.

[Tilla]

Welp, our crew hit a good oxygen planet and we thought we were well off..and then we lost all our armor and a bunch of hunters showed up. 1 HP left and we're surrounded still.

what is the point of flirting?

You get to 'do the thing' with the person for morale. But you need a room with a bed, no camera, and nobody else watching.

ok...so we can't get all "morale" at the same time or a day after with some videoplayer...I see...Thanks.

I hope at this third ship for me we will get to a planet for an expedition...the last two ships had not managed it. First ship way to inactive people and the second had an Oxy problem and noone found a suitable planet...and then came the mush, fire, hunters ....

[Zangi]

Huh, 3rd ship, looks like I'm with a good and watchful crew.  First mush dead, because he was dirty and responded to questioning with what amounts to inane jibberish that'll get you dead anywhere.  The other mush is probably a noob too, because both of them took anonymush first thing.  Just hasn't had the opportunity to make a mistake they didn't know they could make.

[Nightscar982]

Well, this is great, all the other mush does is lie down and spam spores so I can't make any >:L
