Bay 12 Games Forum

You delve some more into drink encyclopedia and datalinks on their history and preparation.


Huh. All liquors currently sold at SRC Outposts were created within the last 50 to 200 years - except 'Wóda'. Its origins are traced back to Earth, and apparently this clear spirit was drank in one form or another for the last two thousand years.

As it turns out, some Humans (especially those space-born) aren't very good with smells. Due to the sugars and esters present in certain drinks, they've got problems distinguishing 'fruity' and 'sweet' flavors from one another, finding sweet and fruity drinks extra sweet compared to others.

You stretch in your command chair and peek onto the sensor display - silence.

A) Time to read even MORE liquor encyclopedias.
B) About time I do some station maintenance.
C) Seems like a good time to grab the cleaning tools and wipe the tables.
D) A good moment to explore oneself - mind and body.

Ah dang its Noyemi!

And she brings a pic of nice tiger lady, what's not to like?

Is she secretly the overlady of the Chinese triad? She gives that vibe, lol

2a, 2c, dis is not bueno ;V

You run through the contract and specifications of your job here.


That was quite a lecture. Fortunately, not sensor pings meant that you could concentrate on the text.

The more important bits to remember:

1. Refueling stations are automated and controlled by SRC Refueling AI. Transfers and purchases are automated and therefore do not count into your earnings.
2. You can earn Credits by selling synthols and mixing drinks.
3. You're supposed to earn 9600 Credits every 0.1 of a year (every space month), or 266.(6) Credits per space day.
4. Anything that breaks down must be tended to you or forwarded to the SRC listening posts so that they send a repair crew.
5. On-board torpedo launchers and photon cannons can be put on auto or manually crewed by you.
6. As implied by the above, you're responsible for defense of the station and its valuable fuel storages.
What do you do now?

A) Explore your mind and body.
B) Do a cleanup of station sections and the bar.
C) Read the databse entries on synthols and bartending topics.
D) Do maintenance on the station software.

Outpost 254813...

Your new workplace! Your new home! An island in the ocean of space! A fortified castle in the middle of the lawless wilderness!

The emergency travel pod (SRC couldn't afford you a liner ticket) docks within the station's cargo bay and you disembark.

The station is in the state of slight disrepair. You quickly connect your fingers to the computer interface and it gives you summary of the status... and everything's seems in order? Then again, it is corporate software we're talking about.

You log into the sensor software and there's not a single ping of impulse drive within range. No wonder; the system at which edge's you're located, Delta Aries, is a white dwarf with a belt of icy, mineral-less asteroids. That's very little to offer for prospectors and settlers alike. Few Jump Gates dot the outskirts of the system, but the traffic is relatively low.

It might be hours, days, or even weeks (hopefully not) until you get your first customer - if they're interested in drinking and not just automated refuelling, that's it.

What do you do?

A) Do maintenance on the station software.
B) Do a cleanup of station sections and the bar.
C) Explore your mind and body.
D) Read the databse entries on synthols and bartending topics.
E) Read about your work contract and credit quota of synthol sales.

These are nice but I can't really choice with a coin flip ;vc
