They can't piggyback our FTL and follow us, can they..?

Even if they can, our shields would've recharged and we'd be ready for an attack.

[Sheb]

Well, yeah, we can still sustain two hits... Best course of actions is evasive maneuvers until we jump.

We'll just wait until the FTL's finished charging. They only managed to take away 30% shield and by the time it's finished we'll be down to 10% at worst. We should keep shields on max because the only reason we'll want to fire on them is to loot them which we can't do because we've already started charging the FTL. Besides, it's better if they think we can't use our weapons for some reason. It'll make us look like less of a threat.

Except if you know, both of them hit.

Yeah, let's replace the external hull plating in five minutes.

Dude. Engine room and reactor. I would think it very unlikely that these two things are OUTSIDE the ship.

We suffered a hull breach in the engine room, which depressurized it. So that one was outside.

[Parsely]

Hopefully following a jump is just not a thing they can do. Or maybe we get lucky and their CnC wouldn't want them to follow us in the first place.

If they both hit they'll each hit for 30% damage. 70% - 30% - 30% = 10%. In the same time that they managed to take a shot at us our FTL went up to 60%. In the same time that it'll fill up to 100%, they'll only have enough time to do 60% shield damage at most.

I can no longer into math apparently.

"Don't give me any of that lip, young man/woman!"

[Andres]

So I was just looking at our status and the officers aren't mentioned anywhere. They're not still planetside, are they?

What happens if we FTL right into a planet?

[Pencil_Art]

What do you think?

I think we all suffocate. Unless somehow the core or whatever gets warped into the slipspace or whatever as a result of us FTL-ing there.

Security Officer Hensen
Engineering Officer Donnely
Bridge Officer ? ? ?

Probably not.

Really, really bad things.

Ohhhhhh.

Really, really bad things.

So what's to stop us from getting another carrier, initiating its FTL sequence, getting out of the ship immediately, and then letting it go off to Exterminatus the Uark homeworld (besides distance)?

Because war is fine but genocide is bad.

[Sheb]

I guess he meant bad things for the ship.

[10ebbor10]

Yeah, probably that.
