That would be fresh.

[TheBiggerFish]

I thought they were in, like, cryofrozen whatever.  Certainly the "goop" supports that idea.
I can certainly fix that, though.
Either way, the scene from the opening of Portal 2 comes to mind.

4400 - 4700: Modern era during which most, if not all HMRC convicts on board were collected
4500: Last time Paracelsus' Sword docked and took on new convicts.

From the wiki.

E:Augh what happened to the formatting.
E2: Cleared that up.


E3: Right.
E3.5: But then...How did HMRC convicts get on board after 4500?

E3.5: But then...How did HMRC convicts get on board after 4500?

They didn't. They were in cold storage from there on in, unpacked periodically whenever the previous crop met their grisly ends.

ARM volunteers, though, seem to be getting picked up from Hephaestus and occasionally shuttled in via supply routes.

No, but seriously, those aren't the words used.
"collected" implies "from an outside source".
Alternatively, he was unscrupulously recruited while inadvertently drunk?  Eh.  I can make this work, or I can just say screw it and leave the field blank, I suppose, but I really do want to make the "actually not supposed to be here" thing happen.

[Egan_BW]

You can put anything you want in there, and it'll just be explained as you being crazy.

Stasis dementia is the basis for most on-ship actions. How would we metagame otherwise ?

Ah, I see the issue.

It may simply mean that other HMRC prison ships (since there are quite a few) were landing during the next two centuries, while the PS was not. So you'd be from the earlier bits of the modern era rather than the later ones, not that it matters on account of schizo tech combined with technological stasis.

[Ozarck]

I think you guys might be overestimating both the scope of this game and the depths of my skill with this program.


Not helped by the fact that now the program won't even launch and it freezes steam when I try...

Nah. I never expected you to make this. I am saying I want it done. By someone.

Yeah, pretty much.  Or rather, isn't Steve the master control center of the HMRC back then?  I mean, he obviously has more than one ship?

[Nikitian]

Well, at the time it wasn't known (supposedly, Steve was the brain of Paracelsus Sword vessel specifically), but yeah, he's the mastermind behind all the HMRC ships. We just don't have any concrete information about other ships at all (other than that they supposedly exist somewhere), AFAIK.

I suppose I shall just...Take advantage of the lack of information and say that I was sort of just...Floating about in stasis on one of those.

The thing about stasis dementia is that it means you can create whatever story you want and if it doesn't fit it just means you're a little nuts.

Making animations is fun.

I've got the set of staring weapons and all their animations set up.

Renen starts with a unique weapon, everyone else starts with standard stuff. I actually had to cobble together a sprite for hand lasers and laser rifles since none of the sprites I could find looked alright.

Mine look like crap but at least they're the crap I want!

Posts tomorrow. Just felt like working on this all day this weekend.

[Hapah]

Weekends are for doing what ya wanna do!

On a not-related note, when will us fleshy folk who got messed up by the Arbiter be free to run around the ship and pester the hell out of you with random actions? When the Heph mission takes off?

EDIT: Also, shameless plug for DeathCube Services. Need to go through the last few tests U_P did and see if there's new stuff to add soon, I guess. Let me know if you have any questions!

If there's dialogue with the npc's involved, or blurbs they say when certain things happen, you could have the players themselves provide the lines.

Oh, and you could make the game itself a collaborative thing and have other people help out. Dunno how much hassle that would be though, probably quite some.
