Jee wilikers, I think Highmax is near invulnerable, must have been dunked in the river styx like achilles was.
Just make sure he wears a boot.

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Pot calling the kettle here - YOU just make sure that you don't land us in an asteroid field. Or near pirates, far too near a sun or worse yet - into the arms of the enemy. Shield-Room o~ver.

((I'll wait for at least 2 people to agree on a destination. ALSO, pretty important, if you take too long in an area, then enemy forces will start to crawl in from the left side of the map, so try not to dally too long in the western-most reaches, as they FAR out-class you.
But a jump or three won't be a problem, so don't feel pressured.))

Well... We can blame the pilot for that. I say we go on a littel detour before we pick up extra supplies. How much scrap do we have? 10? Nowhere near enough for us to grab some goodies along the way. I think the Kestrel could use a glaive beam, but we need scrap to get a hold of one. Its all on vote, and I think Pilot gets final say since, you know, he's PILOTING the damn thing. Just keep an eye out for any rebel cruisers, over.

That settles it. EP, take us south! Full speed ahead! I want radio silence as we FTL travel; never know when those rebels or pirates will show up...

You know that blue is for flabort's game?

Jeez, it's hard to choose a dialogue color in this thread, I hadn't thought about that.

Green text with blue glow looks weird though.

Do you want to attack it to loot its stuff, or leave it alone?

Take it out; I see a piddly little laser weapon and a stun weapon. If you keep the shields up, and I focus fire on the automated machine's weapon systems, we're golden. *looks again*

Erm... Is that a cloaking device it has?

Well, just might have one. Still - Storage Cache? Max. Lock-on. Now! Already starting to run the Subroutines on my end. Shield-Room o~ver.

Weapons are powered on, and ready to fire. Setting burst fire to hit the weapons now. Power down the artemis missiles and divert the power to engines. Hopefully, EP passed Pilot's school and can dodge those stun shots with some extra oomph in our engine room. And no need to waste missiles on a craft with no shields, now, do we?

"Perhaps we should consider a strategic retreat? Victory is nice, but survival is better."
Two say we go in, one says we don't. I got faith in you to be able to pilot this thing, I just hope you can dodge with this beauty. Now sit back and watch the fireworks.
