"Recruit" more as in "surrender now and you can join us" rather than "you're prisoners of war now and if you don't join us we'll kill you". The former is offering a way out; the latter is a threat.

[Tyrant Leviathan]

If we like warhammer they had a cool idea, launch assault boats like a torpedo to punch through haul then open to reveal space marines.

SPESS MEHRINES!

EDIT: Yes.

[Smoke Mirrors]

That would leave a giant gaping hole.

[Glass]

On the scale of a spaceship, not really. Especially not for the type that you would bother boarding.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

That would leave a giant gaping hole.

Boarding torpedoes in 40k normally fill that hole rather than go too deep. That and a space marine without a vacuum rated suit is going to have a lot of trouble getting home if the ship begins to explode and vent atmosphere.

Tyrant, autocorrect is wreaking mass murder on the intent of your sentences. Well, not this last post, but the previous one is a disaster.

Anyway, let's stay away from mass-irradiating enemies. That's...impolite. Also, we don't want to spend the time to outfit every crewman in a radiation suit just to go for strolls down the corridors. We have draqons and armored sauroids. I think we've got the infantry angle pretty well covered. You have two options when you board: Breach the hull, decompressing part of the ship and likely killing enemies (And making a mess in the process), or sealing said breach/not ever allowing air to escape, which would force you to gun down or make surrender everyone on the ship, but is a lot easier to repair.

Hence 40k style boarding torp do, punch hull goes in but seals said hole and unleashes the marines. My final game play question is, we going to work together as inventors arm tech ace style and vote what is processed right? Or are we doing our own project jects and each one is rolled.

[Glass]

My personal vote on that is personal projects.

[Tyrant Leviathan]

+1 person nap projects. Three inventions a turn is a good thing.

[Madman198237]

The plan seems to be each person does one invention, as there can be multiple groups with their own science division, quartermasters, etc.

[Glass]

It probably won't be 3 inventions per turn, or at least, not 3 useable inventions per turn. More like 3 prototypes per turn, which could be further worked on to get them to the phase where they can be widely distributed. We could probably get multiple people working on one invention to make it work better/mass-producible more quickly/etc, though it would result in fewer prototypes per turn (probably). Though at some point in the science department's lifetime, we may have enough people that it's best to double up on work.

EDIT: Also, my obligatory once-a-page invite to the Discord channel.

[Tyrant Leviathan]

Well as last ng people get their things across. I think joint research should yield better results/cheaper for cost of less prototypes. I think quarter master decides just what gets used and the admiral gets to boss people's le around. While president/gm gets to be final law.

It's hard to believe we've managed to get 18 pages in about 4, 5 days...

This kind of gameplay is popular here, which tickles my fancy. The game forum I come from is mostly pg rated lesbian sim, here real men do research and conquer worlds. God bless bay 12.
