This isn't very fair to people in other timezones.

Will it be possible for the rebellion to lose the war depending on our actions?

Who/what is the Doctor? Is he the same person that made the ghost ships(can't remember his name)? How is the AM so powerful? How/why do Amps work? How is the rest of the rebellion going? How could some of the missions turned out differently? I'm tapping out, I can't think of any more, someone else tap in!

Well, it only hates Linux for now. If we could condition it to hate computer viruses, than hooray! Free, brutal virus protection! Unless you have Linux!

If we get a lot of questions later I'll do another one, This is for something I need to do tonight.

I'm not unfair, I'm just bad at planning and doing things spontaneously.

I'm still going to ask this to Steve via Milno because I was gonna ask this IC, so:

Will the fact we helped fix a UWM ghostship screw us in the future?

Was there any way we could have made it sympathize with a rebellion like ARM?

Why didn't Steve use an opportunity such as that one to have us infect the ghost ship with rebellious thoughts right then and there? It seemed like an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Maybe they'd discovered our intentions or something?

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Never mind, I thought of more.

Whats your favorite movie?

Favorite TV show?

Is there any tech that we missed on missions?

Can we recruit any more helpful NPC's?

Did we miss out on recruiting more helpful NPC's?

Are there any hidden/unlockable weapons/suits/things in general, that are just waiting for someone to ask the right questions?

Oh hey, these things. Uh, let's see, spontaneous questions.

Just how big is the tech gap between the UWM and ARM? Since you mentioned the Mk suits being outdated and someone ran into a newer Gauss rifle model.
Ooh, better question: How soon/Will we be getting our hands on that new tech?

How big a role will the rebellion play in future ER? Are we going to be racing against UWM teams to recover alien technology on future recovery missions; and how frequent will these military missions come up?

What is the scale of ARM versus the UWM, anyway? IIRC, you mentioned ARM had a dozen or a couple dozen ships, and the Sword had two or three 'sister ships'. How does the UWM navy compare?

How unique is Hephaestus, as a 'factory world'? How long would it take for the UWM to convert another planet into a planetary industrial complex like it?

It's been established that Steve's core - if he even has one - is not physically located aboard the Sword. Where the heck is he? Is this likely to be relevant at all to a future mission?

With the advanced robotics and AI from the quiet world now available to us, how frequently will 'Stevebots' be appearing? Are they going to show up in the armory, maybe, for a crazy price?
Would it be possible to build a robotic brain with that knowledge, and 'backup' our characters? We'd have to re-backup everytime something important happened to our characters, and I imagine it wouldn't be cheap/completely safe...

I feel like most of these questions would be better suited to bugging Steve with, in-game. :/

EDIT:
How much do you rely on the wiki, now that we have it? How does that affect the Idiots in Space file, and your own notes?

At what point in time was the Pantheon created?  Were they fleshed out at the time or just as needed when the Book is consulted?

How often do you play DF nowadays?  What is your current view of it?

Is your "running more games" itch bugging you now that you're down to just ER and THE END IS NEAR?

I'm curious how much harder four 5-man missions are to keep track of than one 20-man.  (And which would you rather run.)  Of all the missions done so far, which one do you like how it played out the most?

What is your favorite food?  Pizza toppings?

What armory item do you think is the most underused?

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

... I'm honestly trying to think of questions that would get more than a River Song-esque 'Spoilers' where you can almost hear the evil grin in PW's voice.

What have the other ARM ships been doing, particularly the Sword's sister ships? Taking over industrial worlds, resource worlds, centers of population?

Now that we're really going all-out war with the UWM, what are the chances of things that the players have come up with appearing in the game, and not just their mostly personal fluff? I know of one or two planets that people have claimed their characters as being from, a corporation or two, too.

Can we expect more missions like the Taking of Hephaestus, where teams are sent to perform a strike, assume control, and survive a counterstrike?

What is synthflesh, really? If it were just what we've been told, then how is it that enough of it begins to bend and break physics, and even start to form sentience (see, Avatars).

Is it possible that any part of Steve was derived from the Altered?
