I'll never step foot in another courthouse so long as I live if I do.
Except for jury duty :P

This is an option of absolute last resort, but...got any superglue?

A bandit who intentionally sets himself on fire and runs at you. His special move is to tackle you and burn you. Every turn he has to roll. If he fails, he dies because he's on fucking fire.

I really like the concept. It's even better then the one in Borderlands because it acknowledges the tactic is insane.
There is an enemy in Far Cry 3 that is essentially this. They don't set themselves on fire intentionally, but because they're covered in molotovs and extremely drunk because they drink most of them, anything but a headshot results in them bursting into flames and running at you.

They're a very interesting enemy out of that as well, since they are also too drunk to have any concept of Danger Close, and will gleefully set you, their friends, your friends, wild animals, plant life, and unfortunately placed buildings on fire as they constantly throw molotovs without any regard for anyone's safety.

On that note, Far Cry 3 is an amazing game.
My dad picked that up the other day. Can't wait until he declares himself "done" with it so I can give it a whirl.

Not dead yet, but...

Small test game, me against the Zuul. I start by building three long-range ships and send them scouting along three of the four(!) nodelanes I have access to.

First system: Swarm. My scout barely has time to turn around before it is vaporized by space bugs.
Second system: Alien Derelict. After seeing what the Swarm does, I hightail it out of there.
Third system: A second Alien Derelict. This time I get curious as the previous derelict didn't move. I send my scout in to investigate and get blown to smithereens.

So I only have one avenue of exploration available and found a colony at the first habitable world I find (it takes a while). Guess which shows up at the colony five turns later? Von Neumann. I lose most of my pitiful tier-1 defense fleet before it decides to go away on its own.

Oh, and just about every planet in this galaxy that I've been forced to skip is perfectly habitable for the Zuul. I think it might be time to turtle.

Note to self: Form a band called Black Ice, go to Raleigh.
Don't do it man, the collective panic you inspire might draw the whole city into the Immaterium.
Just as planned!

All I wanted to do is get a satellite in orbit. I built the core and associated rocket from scratch and launched it. It started pretty well and steady, but once the solid boosters detached and I began my gravity turn the whole thing began wobbling despite Because of an ASAS and winglets.

*Fixed
Wait, since when do those things cause wobbliness? I remember that they also seemed to help get my ships in orbit.

I can't figure out a way to even make it work. I assume the page shuts down the purchase button if the price is below zero :P
