I want to keep this extra ship instead of throwing it away. We can come back to zap this station later. I vote we hyperjump to Foxtrot-795.

Bridge Officer ! I like it! 

All kidding aside, what do we do now?

We could, in one shot with the derelict ship, assuming we are lucky, either:

- Overload the reactor, splitting the station in two,
- Hit numerous barracks, as well as life support making them have to wear EVA suits,
- or knock out weapons systems across the station.
(at least that's what I think?)

Sounds good to me. If a large derelict ship that was recently seen drifting around in space suddenly started careering towards the station, wouldn't they suspect us involved? A laser to weaken the shields would certainly make us noticeable to the Uarks.

And when the station is crashed into, they will have decent backup with them.

Or we could hyperjump away to a different planet.

Can we have a report on the status of the Argos, in the case we do repair it?
We need to know how much it will cost us to put it back in action.

The Argus has multiple breaches,  scrapped engines systems, and worst of all, no power generation.

[Parsely]

If we fix it our firepower is practically doubled, and it's altogether cheaper than buying another one if we can find useful salvage. If we're even allowed to tow it back with us through hypserspace I mean.

Not without a shield that can expand to also fit the Argos.
Though that doesn't eliminate repairing it on the spot.

First, let's scrap the Argos for all its worth. It would be best if we could fix as much of our ship as possible and have some more scrap for later on. After that, we should crack the station in half. Everyone will die, the rest of the Uarks won't know what happened, and we'll be free to loot whatever spaceships or whatever remain. We should hold off on jumping anywhere until we deal with the station.

I see that the Telemachus comes equipped with shields. Are there any other broken systems we don't know about simply because they're broken?

[10ebbor10]

The Argos has no powercore, IIRC, and that seems to be the most important part of it.

Can we salvage it's laser cannons and instal them on our ship?

We can still salvage the hull and and stuff to fully fix our own hull and our reactor containment.

+1, absolutely.  There is zero reason not to do this.  I say we do this first before we worry about anything else.


GM:  At first it was said we'd be "vaporized" if we tried to enter hyperspace.  Was that because our maneuverability was gone and it'd just take too long?  Is it safe now?

Woops. Retconned Amended it to long range jumps, which is what it should of been. The main thing that kept you from leaving was the heat sink. Attempting to charge your FTL drive for something not in the immediate vicinity would take too long and patrols would find you. A short range jump finishes before they'd find you. The Uarks would know something left, but they wouldn't know what.

How far is short range. And can they track where we went?

[Chiefwaffles]

Short range is what's suggested by the bridge officer. They cannot track where you went unless they have extremely high tech sensors, which they do not.

[The Froggy Ninja]

What kind of patrols do they have? Like could we just pop a couple light years away from any system and then charge a long jump.
