Oh man, it's good we didn't work expecting to leave on the 11th hour. That would've been disastrous. I guess we wait for the post-update, now?

[tryrar]

Yeah, let me get the first travel roll done, and I'll have turn one of the travel phase completed in a bit

[VoidSlayer]

To be fair I wanted to leave without a medbay, not at 11th hour.

Just past the orbit of Pluto, the three ships split up and head independently towards their eventual destinations. As the months go by, a routine settles onto the Yerkri Astgheri, as crews work, relax, and chat, trying to stave off boredom after the rather exciting departure. Nothing major happens, and the ship, for all how the tech was rushed out the door, seems to be preforming to spec. Hopefully this keeps up until the end...

(Event roll:81.
Maint Roll:
86
+10 for large awake crew
+10 functional machine shop
=106)

Any orders for the next part of the travel, and is the captain and anna awake?

[Andres]

Assuming we have in-built radio or something, perhaps we should send out messages to the other scouts ships and the ark ships that we've made it. If we have in-built radio, then so do the other scouts ships. We ought to all send out signals to see which scout ships survived. Some ark ships will be on their way to unprepared planets and warning them against it and telling them to change their course would be prudent.

Don't worry, that wasn't referring to you. I was talking about what we were like in turn 1 and 2 where there was some debate over it. Even I considered just waiting until the 11th hour. Actually, would it have been possible to leave after the recommended time window but before the 11th hour?

Ninja'd by GM. Will read update in a bit.

EDIT:
Yes they're awake. Can we get a status report? Awake vs. not awake? Injuries? Morale? Time to reach AC?

[VoidSlayer]

Uhhh, can we make some chemicals from plants and basic medical tools? 

We got a 20 year journey, we gotta have people in cryo, already its a minimum 10 years.  10 years in a minimum security work camp but still 10 years.

[Andres]

We didn't completely fill up the cryo pods which means we can cycle them in and out pretty effectively. The average crewmember would be awake for 2-3 years I suspect, but I have no data to work with.

EDIT: How the hell are we in 2065 already!? It's only been a few months, hasn't it?

[10ebbor10]

This is a closed system. We can't remove anything without risking shortages.

Perhaps we should design stuff.

[tryrar]

woops brainfar. I'll fix the title!

[tryrar]

A for crew status, only one got injured in that brouhaha, and he only required a couple stitches. Right now, nothing looks close to breaking, and morale is high. Time to destination:19 years, give or take

[VoidSlayer]

What about a habitat for our crew to build after they land, and have things set up, specifically designed to their needs and desires, within reason.  At a minimum we could get some good ideas about what they want, maybe even some hope for a better life down the road.

Maybe a simulation of various planet forms that might be encountered when we get there, to get people use to the idea of living on an alien world.

Since we have manpower, maybe a specialized  labor intensive add on to relieve some stress to the My First Factory kit.  Like a manual assembly line that puts the new parts together or something.

That last item is called Manufacturing Equipment . The others are doable, though

[VoidSlayer]

Excellent, sweatshops designed, then my vote is for plan build hope with fancy houses then dash it with depressing landscapes.  Houses first.

That was awfully informal. -.-

Alternatively, we can load up the VR pods with games where their task is to build the best, most efficient extra-solar outpost ever.

EDIT: Can we recreate the ship using the 2058 equivalent of Kerbal Space Program?

[tryrar]

Hmm, there is a kerbal equivilant,but I'm not sure I see the point though. It is an option....
