The "Imprisoned Raynerd" mission?

From what you said, I assume you managed to enter the prison itself. If not, you can fly in through the glass roof (need to break it first), or tunnel in through the dirt. Tunneling is possible, but I do not remember what the dirt requires to break. (I traditionaly used bombard or HE dropped by a tank.)
The goal is to rescue a specific prisoner (in the basement), but killing all the guards will also win it. The furries locked themselves in, but locked doors can be destroyed by High Explosive.

I assume that's the only way to free your gals in the first Dr. X base attack? The one where you're allowed any or all of the following: shivs, rags. I found a pickaxe, smashed open the first door, dropped it, had the freed gal smash open the next door, repeat. Then we went around punching Academy folks for their weapons (and also so they didn't attack us).

Also, black powder bombs are the best lockpicks when they are available (based on no evidence, but a lowered TU cost because you don't prime them - 45 vs 65). They are not, however, the best anti-tank weapon.

Edit to add joke: You can leave a map without taking all of the enemies as prisoners and stealing their loot? Why?

I'm new enough that I'd prefer to play on one of the easier difficulties. Especially with the extra difficulty of having whatever the last person left instead of [preferred set-up]. If we do ironman, definitely on the low end.

I'm in, and my votes are

1) Women are superior
2) Grey (green isn't bad either, but I like the grey ships)
3) Prank

Also, I'd suggest naming the bases after famous women pirates. Possibly from an ethnicity appropriate (or as geographically close as possible) for the base location? Queeen Teuta base means we're mostly flying over land, which is where they are more likely to land. Ching Shih base should work as well.

Oh, are we doing a custom base start from the options menu? A layer of living quarters and storage (nothing else except the airlock, and no living quarters elsewhere) below the hangar helps with defense. Mess, medical, and similar places gals might be below that, labs and radar on the bottom. Trying Arnathor's base setup (layer of living quarters and storage on both sides of the hangar) ends up with way too many living quarters.

Any guesses how close we are to a new release? It looks like they usually show up this time of the month.

Oh, and put what you were more-or-less trying to do in your captain's log so we don't end up 99% of the way to a dozen different major technologies without getting them. Or we have all of the parts to make a better medical facility, but not the cash yet, and it never gets built.

I mean, we could do one around here. We'd just need to find a group interested, a difficulty everyone can agree on, and maybe decide which decision to make the 3 times it really matters (women are superior, codex, what to do with Dr. X).

On today's episode of "Is this guy a lunatic, a moron, or making shit up for votes?" we have Robert Rowland, saying he wants a 200 mile fishing exclusion zone, where the UK torpedoes every foreign ship found in "our" waters.

And it sounds like the answer to the question is a resounding "Yes."

Yeah, this is a good place to go to redefine your standards of insanity thus that you no longer fall under them~

Good news! You're not insane anymore. We cured you.

The airlock popping out isn't something you want, but if you can get it put back in fairly quickly, your batch might be fine. It will only happen when the batch is putting off a lot of gas, which also prevents anything getting in.

Also, maybe check to see if the airlock is a bit plugged.

Hershey is not in my chocolate dictionary. Not a common brand here.
Substitute with Cadburys?

You'll want to go lower quality than Cadbury's to replace Hershey. They're the ones that had to develop a new aging technique for chocolate.

Not joking, people got upset that the taste and texture changed when refrigerated train cars were added, so they had to ruin the chocolate before delivering it, because the idiot customers are the ones you want to sell to. That is why most US chocolate is waxy and old tasting. They're still using a recipe from when refrigeration was new, designed to be like it spoiled, because people don't like change.

I got a cast iron pot for birthday present. I'm gonna do hipster shit to it.

Dirty, sexy hipster shit.

You're going to throw a pizza crust in it, then instead of pasta sauce and horrible processed meats you fill it with spinach-artichoke dip (heavy on cheese, no mayo) and something like olives for a bit of salt? Maybe some chunks of chicken, and Parmesan cheese on top.


For me: I'm sick/exhausted. The dog protested that I was in bed 4 hours longer than I'm supposed to be by jumping on the bed (already impressive, it's about 3x her 4-legged standing height), pinning me down with her front paws, and licking my eyelids. I explained to her that I do not negotiate with terrorists and would continue to sleep. She adjusted her weight, pressing her sharp little elbows into ribcage. I'm online now, so you can guess who won.
