They don't really care about it, you guys could fly it to the station and call for help if you want. Would take a few days, though.

How many of us would it take to pilot the thing? Just one? I believe Gustave would have some experience with flying small craft. In that case, he could take it upon himself to, y'know, call for bigtime help to save the peaceful planet. After all, with the trader dead, Gustave's debt no longer exists. Might as well get this shit solved and GTFO so he can go murder someone more important to his plan for vengeance.

I reckon that also welcomes Gustave to a massive supply of board games to use as doomy doom decoys?

Unfortuitiously, I cannot hunt and slaughter the Conservatives who flee from me. Otherwise, rest assured, this would have been done. =P

Let's consult the Trader for his sagely advice regarding the manner. More importantly, considering how many HUEG chunks the party still possesses (basically, they're not lacking a trading commodity), perhaps there'd be a way to cajole the Trader and his helpers to, well, help in exchange for a share of the body. After all, I'm sure another one of these things could be found to kill. Let's worry about, y'know, getting the beast out of the way and fixing the dome.

Also, what has the Trader bought to the Domed Planet in terms of goodies?

We should definitely focus fire on its sole arm. Even if we don't kill it, the fact it only has one arm is promising. Perhaps we'd reduce it to bellyflopping if we somehow blow the limb off through the power of shotgunnery and melee. That's what Gustave will do, anyway: Shotgun. He feels embolden by the success of Harlon, and it's not like he has a better weapon on-hand. Perhaps he should have grabbed a grenade...

How do I deal with the heat? Violence. In 4.02.0 (and I doubt this was changed in 4.02.1), you only need to defeat three squads of soldiers in order to repel a siege. So long as you engage the weakened squads, you will almost never get shot at, much less lose a Liberal. You can harvest the M16s and ArmyBodyArmor you get from the dead Soldiers, twiddle your thumbs for two weeks, and wait for another attack to come. This can get tedious, however, so what I do is relocate after each siege to a different safehouse. The government will waste its energy raiding the place you've just emptied before shrugging its shoulders and asking, "Where the hell did they go!?"

In my current game, my safehouse has 93% Heat and 90% Secrecy; it's a fully upgraded (sans Liberal Guardian) abandoned warehouse the Conservatives have not yet raided. I've been there for... uh, about a month, I'd say, and all of the laws are still Arch-Conservative, so they have perfectly good reason to attack:


Certainly, I am entertained by looking at other people discuss and implement their Liberal Hierarchies, but I would rather assemble a godawful Gang Leader founder with the worst stats I could generate, execute the starting Gang Members in order to lose Heart, and attempt to win the game from there than make a lengthy chain-of-command. I'll leave the funsies to someone else. =P

-EDIT: Typo! OH NOES.

Do we also possess an infinite number and variety of game dice? If so, that's an important feature to include in the SUPER INVENTORY REVIEW. Why, if that were true, I promise Gustave would be more than ecstatic to spend his time scattering those dice around the dome, preferrably treated with an exceptionally sticky (alternatively: slippery) coating to fluster assailants. Naturally, flustered doom would be immediately accosted by Gustave's shotgun.

Also, if there are any nearby trees (nearby as within visible sight of the dome), and if proper sharp implements were at Mister Guischard's disposal, I reckon he'd like to attempt to harvest some lumber in an attempt to turn the surroundng land into an obstacle course. If such is unfeasible, he'd also like to consult with the Trader for gimmies like "an infinite supply of board games"; Gustave could use those to create a distracting landscape full of Life Tokens and Monopoly Money. Should THAT be unfeasible, he will inquire about borrowing a shovel before proceeding to make the land an offensive nightmare. Unsophisticated? Yes. Brutal? Absolutely. Funsies for everyone? YOU BET.

In addition to the above, he'd like to see about acquiring a Portable Light Source and an Adhesive Substance (such as duct tape) in order to have light in the event he must fight in the dark against the forces of doomy doom. If he could somehow take the blade of a sword and implement it as a bayonet (high quantities of realism, but let's consider what's been suggested thus far), that'd also help his shotgun not be afflicted by Teh Suckage, and it would go long and far towards helping Gustave slay his foes... so long as, y'know, he doesn't critically miss.

All right. That's enough wordiness. LET'S GET ON WITH IT! Implementing the above, that is. It'd be helpful. ^_^
