Last option, try to catch anyone falling.

Also, shout for them to stop it.

Agreed.

On a side note, turns out I do have internet here. So...

[Aseaheru]

Ah, good.

[Nunzillor]

Excellent intervention!  Not.  Have him wait on the lower platform with his head down in shame.  Also, yeah, tell them to cut it out.

[Parsely]

PTW and +1
This looks awfully interesting. Time to play a little catch-up!

Update 12
Heart of Gold Main Conduit, 2076

The crewman hanging onto the railing, deciding that they cannot do more good for the time, climbs to the next platform down to try to stop anyone who falls further - difficult, but doable in the low gravity.  They yell up at the fighters above to stop it, to remember their importance to the mission and the need for unity.  There is no response.

(18) Meanwhile, the crewman on bridge duty has set the systems to automatic and come down to offer support, sliding down onto the platform with the two fighters.  Nearly sliding off of it in fact - barely managing to catch her balance on the edge.

(98,30) The two fighters ignore this development, as one is currently getting beaten up by the other.  Though trying to defend himself, that one has been pinned to the wall and is being punched repeatedly in the face, possibly unconcsious.

(92) Someone busts out of the side shaft on the level the fighters are at, with a stun rifle.  Aiming it at the fighters, they give the order to stop again.  This time, for some reason, it works and the two are separated. 

The two are put into the Medical Bay under watch and treated for whatever injuries they sustained; they will likely be put back into cryosleep afterwards.  Thankfully, neither took any tools as a weapon, which could have killed someone or damaged the conduits.

Expert Crew Bonus: +5 to all relevant rolls in the Flight phase, due to high levels of training and familiarity with the ship in the crew.
Masterful Engineering Bonus: Effects of having 40 vacuum suits in the crew spaces minimised - only minor mobility issues remain.
Rugged Construction: +5 to all rolls relevant to the ship being overengineered and tested further than usual.
Atmospheric Flight Capacity: While not graceful, the ship is capable of landing with relative precision and control for a multi-thousand-ton brick, on any planet with an atmosphere at least.
Smart Command Center: The ship's central computer allows a high degree of automation, independent reaction, and resilience in the computer systems.  It helps with lots of things.
Maintainance Modifier: -6

Total mass: 286 units.
Free space: 1 units.
Required power: 72 units.
Maximum power output: 150 units.
Total fuel: 51 units

Standing Orders:

• Keep 15 crew awake, rotated in shifts of 5 on duty at any time.
• Shut down as much as possible 1 month every 5 years for intensive maintainance, and swap out which reactor is being run then to maintain the other.

I will likely not be here for a few days, but should be by Wednesday

[10ebbor10]

Well, luckily, no damage.

No special actions safe for continuing the research.

[Nunzillor]

Agreed.

[TopHat]

Shouldn't we fix the VR pod 'upgrade' first?

[10ebbor10]

Shouldn't we fix the VR pod 'upgrade' first?

Well, we could.

Let's invest another 0.1 advanced parts in that.

[escaped lurker]

No sense stopping this matter now - agreed.

But yeah, could have turned out a lot worse than it did...

[Nunzillor]

Oh, yeah.  Good catch there on the VR "upgrade!"

[RulerOfNothing]

One question: do we have construction plans to allow us to produce all of the resources that we know of once we reach our destination?

[Aseaheru]

Probably. To not have them is moronic.

[Draxis]

One question: do we have construction plans to allow us to produce all of the resources that we know of once we reach our destination?

Not sure exactly what you mean by that, but you do have the knowlege to produce everything you brought with you.  The problem is adapting to local conditions and producing in quantity the capital, resource, and infrastructural capacity to actually do so.  Modern society has massive productive structures that we take for granted, and developing them on similar scales would be a huge undertaking.

You don't have the knowlege to make things like nanomachines, antimatter, or the rest of the very cutting-edge of pre-Cataclysm Earth's technology; however, these things were made on some scale before, and can (possibly, not practical for a long time) be again.
