Fine with me. It keeps the spirit of the Square.No. But I will tone it down since it's an average of 16 squares lost. Probably -2 each die size (which results in 12 average but it's over several turns so whatever)Veto.Wait, we can do that?
That said, counter arguments back against the hydra:Counter-counter-points:
Also, I vote against trying to mess with the stranger's soul right now, we need to mess around with our new points!Agreed, but for different reasons. We don't want to risk agitating it if we have other options.
Didn't realize you needed it.Cool. I think.Not gonna heal little old helpless me?
"Alright, here we go. Try to avoid hurting them permanently. And try to watch out. Any smokers? No? Never mind then."
Get right in front of Mike and use Dragon Breath on all three foes.
My bad. I think I remembered it backwards.Cool. I think.((I'm not sure that you understand how attack rolls work, based on your character sheet. Strength + 2 doesn't mean your attack is always 18. It's 1d20 + STR mod + 2.))

Sealed.The fact that it has atmosphere, and the part where the oxygen isn't liquid. The atmosphere is quite thin, admittedly, but to have one even that large, it'd be a fuckin' huge asteroid or sealed....Why do you say that?Quote from: GWGShush. I thought there would be at least some outer areas, particularly since this asteroid is either completely sealed in and internally heated, or about the size of pluto....Why would the cells be brought into the asteroid, then?Well, yeah, but couldn't we set up a line to the outside? Less atmosphere to interfere with light reaching, after all.((We should have the following, I feel.No sunlight was expected--you're in an asteroid!
5 Solaire Photovoltaic Cell Arrays
You missed the low air pressure. Actually, that's just over 40% of Earth's, so closer to 30% if my calculations aren't off.QuoteUhm. You realize earth has around 20% oxygen, right? The asteroid has 15%. That, plus the high hydrogen content, make for very flammable air. Explosively so.QuoteHow combustible can it be if it has about 40% as much oxygen as Earth?QuoteI was thinking that with a highly combustible atmosphere, pneumatic devices are very important. That, and also this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air ; It's very widely used.QuoteWere you thinking of things like the dart guns or am I missing stuff again?QuoteWell of course it can't, but compressed air is useful for more than just breathing.Quote2 Condenser UnitsI'd imagined basic life-support built into your suits, but you can't live in them, now can you? Of course, it'll take more than air compression to get a breatheable atmosphere...but the Cart will have something of the sort when the next update rolls along.
1 Heavy Duty Air Compressors
2 Portable Air Compressers
You'll get something.QuoteOkay. But still. One, for heavy lifting and possible construction needs.QuoteTher're not that complex; it's pretty small, and partly self-assembling.QuoteIn that case, we should still have at least one to help set up the 'Port.QuoteSo you can get back? And so more personnel can get down if needed. And so it's easier to send more missions down, although more Cargo Carts and such will still require the more expensive and difficult teleports.QuoteA base of operations. I had imagined from the sound of it, that they might be needed to set up a port and do heavy lifting and the like for us, so we can get more supplies. I didn't realize we were a temp scout mission...If that's the case, why the 'Port?Quote3 GIT Industrial Vacuum and Multi-Terrain Construction Robots(v.20.16) (Red, Blue, Green) (Power: 45/45 Hours)Construction? With what, and why on a temporary scout mission?
What is it you're imagining building?
Something that makes waste products directly into food would probably be pretty difficult, especially if using some sort of algae or fungus or something as an intermediate step was easier.QuoteMicrobots. Or something. Biological sieve, maybe. There's ansibles, it shouldn't be that hard to make a food processor.QuoteHow would you even "assemble" food?QuoteThe wonders of miniaturization.QuoteIt isn't easily portable, but I can't think of any way to do it that would be.QuoteBut it's not portable, now is it?Quote2 Portable Food Reclamators(Processes foreign matter or grown food into easily edible and nutritious bars; Waste matter is disposed of.)There's already something like this.
Some more questions then. As for kinetic, is it gunpowder/solid propellant, gyrojets/micro-rockets, ElectroThermal Chemical(ETC)(they work like a car engine, but shootier), or electromagnetic?Gunpowder and the like is still cheapest and therefore most common most of the time, but electromagnetic and gyrojet are preferred in some cases by those who can afford it.
Are there particle beams? They sound incredibly advanced, but they're basically lasers that work through rain and dust. But not in space. Usually. A little bit more advanced than lasers, certainly, but if there's plasma weaponry at all...
Are tactical nukes in common use for 'explosive'?
For transport, what about faster, smaller, quieter(just sound-wise) helicopters? Not common maybe, but like a sports car, perhaps.
Are there launch rails being used?
Are zeppelins or other types of airships being used?(they aren't impractical, trust me. For some things)
How many countries are there, as an estimate? Just a few super-powers? Most moderate sized? Lots of fractious groups?
How big of a role do corporations play?
What's the typical method of government?
What's our government's method of government?
What's our country's name?
What's the general standard of living?
How are power supplies, in general? Very efficient, still a shortage, a bigger shortage?
Where the hell are we in the Solar System?
I will note that I will oppose attempts to increase Yaos's Soul Charge bar with kisses or embraces until we have no other options left. Say, if Yaos is dying. Then go ahead; it's dramatic, SCIENCE!, and just might save Yaos's life.There's always ways to shock Yaos. Give Al five minutes and a goal to shock him, he'll be shocked in no time. Hopefully in a Soul-Charge-giving way.But we're not Al- if we were, our outrageous flirting would be much more successful! Though now I wonder if successful Shipping Grid calibration is enough to provide some measure of Soul Charge...
Second of all, why are you guys trying to act as defence attorneys for bout half the players? You only REALLY need to defend yourself.We get kills for people whom we provide evidence against that gets them executed. This involves proving that no one else did the crime.
...Close enough. Better than if YAFB was brought in, at least....Let's see, Az-Sho liked Neyravah, right?He was neutral, I think.
-1...But how do we give someone charge? Does Ciro even know what that is? Yaos would either have to kill someone with charge, or go through something very, very emotional. But Yaos seems to really play up the "calm and collected" thing.Break her/him emotionally?
Any ideas?
