[Radio Controlled]

((Well, stuff breaks, people die. That was kinda fun. Tell Saint his HRB worked marvellous though.))

He died a good death, fighting the alien menace and perishing in combat. They will welcome him in Valhalla with open arms!

[Yoink]

R.I.P. Yaroslav.
He died as he lived, flying around stabbing things and managing to be more useful than most.


Re: Rescue shuttles: ooh ooh ooh, can I drive?! I'm good at driving things! Kinda. When they don't explode.

[swordsmith04]

Yeah, Yaroslav was MVP. Honored dead or saint, for sure. Glad I didn't get the chance to tell you to take me with you, though, heh.

[Sean Mirrsen]

If this thing is resistant to most anything now, it'll be a good idea for Lars to put the PEW into Final Shot mode. Once the coldplates are out, the uncooled HEP-mode firing once a minute is not going to help you, might as well slag the weapon and give the shot more oomph.

Better aim straight down its length though.

[Unholy_Pariah]

why is the stealth ship destroyed D:

i would have thought its near absolute immunity to heat and radiation coupled with its single shot resistance to kinetic impact the lack of nuclear shockwave would have allowed it to survive basically unscathed...

...

pick me up a few pieces of hexplate for the pill machine?

[syvarris]

The voidship probably wasn't armored for combat.  Even a paper thin layer of hexsand will render you basically invisible, so there's little reason to use more of the expensive material.

Besides, a massive cache of nukes just went off right next to it.  A half-inch of hexsand can survive a hit from a gauss rifle, but a gauss rifle is an airsoft toy compared to nuke propelled shrapnel.  The sheer kinetic energy could have eviscerated the ship alone.

Is it just a coincidence that I'm just back from movie theater where I saw Mad Max?

Anyway, good game, everyone. I'll write up another char in a day or two nope I have no patience. I like this game.

[Nikitian]

GG, Comrade. I am glad you are willing to rise again despite this sad event, and I wish that your next character makes it to the endgame of ER.

[Hapah]

Huh. How are we gonna get Radio attached to the shuttle? That doesn't seem like it'd be a quick process when you look at the timeframes we're working with, especially since I imagine he'd need some kind of assistance with it.

[Radio Controlled]

I think there's a separate shuttle for him and one for Iveso, maybe one of those waiting in orbit (original extraction plan).

You guys have a couple turns before you're down, so you'll have the chance to ask pw everything you need to know to save our asses.

[AkumaKasai]

Are MCP-III's available, or have they not been invented yet?

[Nikitian]

Are MCP-III's available, or have they not been invented yet?

Nope, not yet; there is actually not much that we could improve over Mk III right now (and if you're looking for the counter-pressure feature above all else, there will be 0-token CP 'underwear' for use with old Mk suits very soon, probably with the next shipment). ...But you can actually help us with that by suggesting what you would want from a top-tier personal suit! (It might be included in MCP-III or perhaps eventual MCP-IV.)

Self-sealing suits tech might be coming soon too, by the way. Now that might bring the MCP-III release quite closer, being one of the new important features.

[Nunzillor]

Why is it not better to wait for the shuttle to touch down before cutting?  Is it correct that it will take them several turns to reach us?

[Kriellya]

Because you'll have to deal with organized resistance, possibly including an AA defense, all the way up to the shuttle's arrival.

Honestly it's probably even odds which is worse. An organized 'shroom offensive, or a giagantic mass of uncontrollable mushrooms going everywhere.

[Nunzillor]

Fair enough.  I'm not sure why I assumed an organized assault would be easier to defend against, but I can see it both ways.  I guess I thought it would be more predictable/consistent.
