Could you elaborate on what makes it sound like a dumbed down console port, because right now all I'm hearing is "hurgh blurgh only indie game good"

Examine the pouch and pedestal. What can I tell about them without touching?

Only module I can see is the first edition. I'll try to track something down regardless.

So what's the proper way to fix an orbit? I managed to get into orbit again yesterday, but it was highly eccentric, with a maximum distance of something around 5 million meters and a near distance of about 90km. I tried to fix it by angling lower while boosting, but wound up breaking orbit, and would have flung into deep space if I didn't use the last of my fuel to brake and eventually land.

So we've all heard about favorite weapons and armor, and ways to kill the bosses. What sorts of social equipment does everyone use? I'm currently running around with a fishbowl on my head :P

*lawls*

Anyway, it seems like plenty of people would at least be interested in trying this. I'm gonna get some rules and stuff written up, and of course I'll need some sort of map system. Open to suggestions on that last part, because my current idea involves Excel spreadsheets. I will be PMing everyone here once the official thread gets started, either later today or the day after.

If you ever saved TUs for your guys to shoot for reaction times, then you'll have a pretty good grasp of this  ;)

Er, no. For one thing, lasguns are Imperial Guard equipment, not Space Marine. These guys use rapid-firing armor-piercing grenade launchers.
For another thing, each Marine has pre-existing equipment. All of the Marines in the box have unique models. For instance, here are a couple pictures of (painted) Terminators:

Now, mine won't look like that of course. I could probably invent rules for all the different weapons and units in the lore, but I'd rather stick to the "vanilla" experience this time around.  :)

The only ones I can think of off-hand are krogan. Which ones are you thinking of?

Changing opinions in light of new evidence is a good thing. It shows mental flexibility and a willingness to be proved wrong.

The question is: is that really why Romney changed his mind about w/e?

I also noticed some buggy translation, especially on the capsule machine. If that's the reason for the delay, fine.

Uh, yeah, it's propaganda, or close enough for the term to apply. It's also far more annoying than anything and not remotely creative.

At least we get a discount for the delay, so whatever.

Oh goddammit. Is there anyone out there who isn't a foaming-mouth reactionary? Perhaps a little strongly-worded.

Unless you mean that Carpe Fulgar has a moral objection to hand soap. Cause that would be funny.
