Bay 12 Games Forum

I'll probably join for that RP session, just to see if I can't take Velik off the bridge.

If the game was on Tuesday or Wednesday, I could make it, but, ATM, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are nights I can't keep up with. I'd always come in late and leave early on those days, which isn't a good thing for the game.

I'd like to keep Velik as a off screen character, if at all possible, able to do research for the party. But that's up to Weird mostly. It's pretty much one of the few ways I can still contribute even without being able to join in on the games.

I'd go Aldo Rustle then Training Sim, or the Hunting Trip with Aldo if we have time afterwards.

I'll be two hours late tomorrow, I couldn't switch nights because no one else could trade shifts. Was able to switch out my job on Friday for this week though.

Would it be possible to do periodic RP sessions every now and then? Just until I can fix my schedule a bit.

Dig Site

I sorta want the dig site for more than just stopping the BUP, I want what could be there. The BUP are being jackasses, we stop them and show them that trying to undermine us and the other factions is a bad idea. Invite the TDD and/or Academy along to the site to boost their relations, and we keep the BUP busy until we jump so they can't try another coup de tat, which is the main reason I say we charge now.

And what Cript said about being able to hold the charge also applies, we can charge up then wait if we have the time.

I still say we jump before the Ditto becomes a problem and avoid it entirely. We do not need to deal with it, it's too dangerous, and it offers little reward. We're not here to help the planets we go to, we're here to survive, and going against it is a suicide mission. Once again, Velik will not join you to fight the thing, and, if things look bad, he will order the ship to jump with or without the other commanders.

Additionally, I don't give a flying rattata's ass if the BUP get pissed off at us, they picked the fight, now they have to back off or face being opposed by the commanders at every turn. At this point, Velik is (passively) against the BUP, if they keep trying to sabotage the other factions and us, they're going down. That's the same for all the factions.

My vote still stands on the Dig Site, then Aldo, then training sim, followed by a jump unless something pressing comes up. You want the sim now, do it on your own, I go off on my own to do research and get quite a bit out of it, so someone else doing the same shouldn't be a problem.

We have the fighters.

The fighter ships? Currently fried from an EMP or taken apart for study.

The people? Six heavy cruisers have enough man power and weapons to make even civilians a threat.

The Type? We have a few on our teams but the rest are with one of the factions or are civilians and thus not suited for this mission.

If anything I'd ask Hector or another researcher to make gallons of acid them fly over the thing to dump it on the ditto and dissolve it into nothingness, but then that'd rain onto the planet and cause us major problems.

We are not suited for this kind of mission. Anything this big and dangerous is out of our skill range except under extreme circumstances. This is probably one of those cases of "leave it alone until it's an immediate threat" aka Wait until it's a red alert before we do anything to it.

NOTE: This is how Velik would see things. He will not go on what he views as a suicide mission, if this Alert is selected, Velik will not join you.
