Bay 12 Games Forum

Well, my first run with the Red-Tail (renamed USS Orange Juice) is a mixed bag. Sector 3 now, not a single shop so far, and I got exactly 15 scrap in the entirety of Sector 2 thanks to a string of empty beacons, which were also a dead end, forcing me to turn around and fight four(!) rebel ships before I made it to the Long-Range Beacon.

ETA: GODDAMMIT. Found a crew transporter, a heavy laser, and a second Mantis crewman. Send Mantises onto Engi scout after wrecking their weapons. Mantises proceed to make mincemeat of Engi crew. I forgot to turn off auto-fire 

We have PMs for that sort of thing, y'know

Nearly always =/= always. You should ALWAYS expect the RNG in this game to screw you over. Even the blue text options.

You decide that using the explosives to break free falls within acceptable use, and direct your remaining store of drones to begin placing demolition charges in key locations. It turns out your original estimate of the required explosives was too high, and you end up only using 8.00% (5).

The feed from your recon drone cuts off as one of the skimmers blows it out of the sky (1). Your auditory sensors, even as damaged as they are, pick up the sustained whine of their powerful engines as they begin to sweep overhead, obviously hunting for whatever launched the drone in the first place.

Oh dear lord. Give a Man of War a crew teleporter and you have a flying death fort that murders enemy crew with complete and utter ease.

How's that? Slugs aren't exactly amazing when it comes to close-combat. I mean, sure the Bio Beam helps, but wouldn't that just hit your own dudes?

Of course, I never mentioned anything about sending your SLUGS to war.

In my mind, it's a bad idea to come up with a strategy based on getting crew/equipment that you might never even see. It's possible that you spend scrap on a transporter room and never get anything other than more Slugs.

I grew up on Wrigley's. It's good. Just not "mouth full of pee and disinfectant" good.

A thousand times this <_<

When you're dealing with people who are physically attractive but not good for you, one night stands.

Suddenly, surprise pregnancy!

I was just thinking that you should act like she dropped a pen/pencil. You'd have to sacrifice one of your own, but it might be worth it
