The quarantined peoples can be released whenever by the doctor.

I am now very glad I chose to go with Navigator. Otherwise we'd be screwed because the only Navigator would be in critical condition and in no state to pilot the ship.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

I've got a point in Navigation.

Which reminds me.

Azkanan, how much does a point in a skill do? For example, am I better at making blueprints or something than our other Engineer because of my Science point? Does having points in more than one skill mean you're specialized towards that sort of stuff with your primary skill, or is it pointless besides having some redundancy?

Speaking of lowest intelligence, that reminds me of the fact that it's probably your first time in prison. Don't worry, I can give you some tips, having spent some time in a few myself. The best way to make friends here is to drop the soap during shower time. Try it, I'm sure you'll love making friends like that!

Since tntey and Playergamer have already been doing stuff, I guess we can say they were released between episode 1 and 2.

To be honest, the points don't have an arbitrary effect. When you're in a situation, I decide the outcome based on your points - for example, Cerapa's bad situation.

Well I mean, are there situations in which having, say, a point in Navigation and three points in Engineering would give a preferable outcome to just having four points in Engineering? Like fixing a navigation system or something?

Oh, cross-classing so to speak? Possible, I'm not sure. If the situation called for it, then most likely.

- You'll find most materials harvestable from Asteroids.
- Your sensors aren't powerful enough to scan beyond the sector your in (ie, make a FTL jump to find something to go to)))
- Don't FTL Jump whilst surrounding by rocks...

I thought there was a very dense section of the creatures nearby and less dense sections further away. If that's untrue, we should get ice and then gtfo. With the water system running we shouldn't to refill on water very often because it will just be recycled within the closed system that is our ship.

We still need a direction or something to heads toward after we get ice, but we may just have to pick a direction.

How far can we get on the fuel that we have?

And can those asteroid minerals be turned into fuel with the equipment we have?

You'd have to use hand-drills and magically haul it back or something.
Not sure how fuel consumption works yet. I'll keep you up to date on how it gets drained, but I'll try to make it last for short journeys.
Say "Head for nearest ice asteroid" or something. Again, you'll have to hand-drill it.

As for the situation, imagine you're the green dot, brown are asteroids, red are aliens.

I guess we could spacewalk.

Edit: Is traveling 89 Kegar by FTL or conventional?
