So, I found an anomaly. It's only level 1, but it has a 60% base failure rate. Even with a 5-star scientist it still has a whopping 30% fail risk. What the heck could be so dangerous?

Find out and then tell us.

Guess I'll have to disappoint you. Critical failure, ship and scientist lost, absolutely no insight on just why the event was so friggin dangerous, and of course the anomaly disappears so I can't even try again.

Not that this campaign is going particularly well anyway. I had a strong start, some good colonizable planets not far away...but now I'm hemmed in on all sides by people with opposing ethos to my own, with far more planets, and there just isn't much particularly interesting in my section of space other than the Void Dragon system.

The scientist I got to run my new science vessel? He got Arrested Development at level 3, which means he no longer gains XP. He is just about useless to me now, other than to do any special projects he can. Not gonna use a dude who can't level up for valuable surveying. Maybe I'll have him assist research until he dies and get a new scientist to survey for me.

So, Elegant Blaster is a wee bit glitchy. I somehow wound up outside the map border using it and couldn't get back inside with it or any other teleporting technique I could think of. I could melee enemies if they were right next to the wall, and ki blasts could pass through, so I was still able to finish the PQ

I swear, every time you post about that game it sounds better and better.

That one is rough. Sent a mixed fleet of battleships and cruisers after it, around 20k strength, and it killed them all. Not quickly, but I wasn't doing anywhere near enough damage to justify the losses and I'm sure it regenerates damage.

"Let's!" Tali said in reply. She looked at the others with weapons, "is anyone interested in similar weapon training too?"

: "Only if you feel like taking magic lessons later. Not gonna get knocked around by a couple of expert fighters without getting a bit of revenge for it afterwards."

Those *are* good though.

I know mostly how you feel. I don't eat red meat, so all this talk about burgers and roast beef or whatever is outside my experience

It probably depends heavily on your field, yeah.

Like, you can technically get by without a cell phone if you're a truck driver, but they make your job so much more manageable because oftentimes there are no landlines available when you need to get in touch with someone.

This isn't even touching on smartphone apps that make the job even more convenient.

But then they wouldn't have anything to complain about :CCCCCC
