[Excidium Planetis]

Useful, useful. Anything else I detected through the mist from the asteroid, or are there really only two objects at this jump point?

This 2 only sadly. Don't worry though, the next sector will have more places to visit then the 1st and the 3rd combined.

Also G-tech is right, you cant just derelict ships without meeting its crew. You can only scuttle your own ship(s) and ships who's crew either allowed you to scuttle or is dead (otherwise they have the option to fight back and a crew with small arms has twice the attack strength of a crew with tools).

Since Ralnis said he was leaving "indefinitely", I assumed his crew was dead. Like, they committed suicide or something.

[The Burning Sun]

How much damage does a kamikaze do?

[Excidium Planetis]

Then let me prep up for battle first. For I refuse to go down without a fight and you people are like damn vultures and the zerg.

Aye.

I'm rather shocked that you two would do this. The Silence is not going to let this stand.

Well, Providence had a grudge and we really needed supplies. Also, we needed to prepare defenses.

Who is kamikazing who?

I'm not, one of the two already made his attentions clear as water when he gun down 40 of my people. If you have anything to trade, like resources or small arms, then I will more than happy to trade my food and Soma.

How much damage does a kamikaze do?

Unknown. I bet if I set twelve laser rigs capable of drilling through metal ore on a ship though, they'll do some damage.

Hhhmmm. I always thought combat was rather unbalanced, simply because Munitions are so hard to stockpile. And since when do you have 12 harvesters again? 2 refitted refineries, correct? That should be 4 harvesters, and since your trait improves efficiency, you're not getting any from that.

Yeah I know, but water under the bridge as I am trying to conduct trades for resources in order to get ready for mortal kombat.

Nah; the trait is another harvesting bay per refinery that runs with only energy. Each unupgraded refinery has 3 slots, two of which are run by Crew. Upgraded, that goes up to 6 slots, four of which are run by two crew. It's not efficiency, since I still have to pay energy for them, it just makes each individual refinery more manpower efficient.

So, 2 + 1 x 2 for the upgrade x 2 due to having 2 refineries = 12 refining drones.

Where are you getting 3 slots? I thought you were Particle Scientists, not Miners.

Nah, swapped it after talking with Hark, back ages ago. I hadn't used my bonus, and I'm planning to cooperate with Particle Scientists for fuel refining, so it was a reasonable swap.

Yeah I know, but water under the bridge as I am trying to conduct trades for resources in order to get ready for mortal kombat.

I'd like to know how you plan on getting said "Arms". Between me and Aidannadia, we have enough ships to completely fill your hangar, and we have twice as many armed crew as you. You can't get outside help and you can't fight us.

Well, he hasn't done his last turn completely. Slap down a flak gun, suicide some refiners into your transports... eh, I'm sure there are ways. I have my own methods I've thought of to defend my ship, which I'm fundamentally certain should work excellently. Hence my lack of building any defenses, since she'll be secure for quite a while to come.

Flak guns won't be operational for 24 hours, and besides, he has no HE or Munitions.

[Seno Zhou Varada]

My suicide plan is just a transport and those mining drones.

To be honest OOC I considered attacking you, but I decided
1) We have friendly relations with Kharbarinth
2) We do not have friendly relations with Ordos Marsa
3) We would need an ally for a successful attack
4) Providence would likely support an attack on Ordos Marsa
5) Ordos Marsa has not made significant contributions to the fleet.
6) From a certain standpoint, Ordos Marsa robbed Providence of at least two items.

You can see why I chose Ralnis as an IC target.

*shrug*

Truth, truth. He does have a Production Facility though, and can easily scuttle a segment of the ship for HE. He hasn't taken day 7 iirc, so it'd be easy enough to slap down some Small-Arms for refinement to even the odds, then if he can merely take out one transport with suicide drones, gg.

If you do attack it could go either way. Plus, honestly, defending a ship in space has some nice advantages. For instance, he could close the hangar doors. What then?

If I remember correctly, we decided a while back that upgrading refineries only increases capacity of resourcers.

We can cut the doors open with tools, or ram one of our ships into the doors.

He has taken day 7:

(WIP)

Day 5-7
Used 6 fuel to get back to Hyberdrive
used 1 fuel for 20 energy
used 2 crew and 10 energy to produce 6 Soma
10 energy used for power upkeep
same process till day 7

My ass is changing that for it seems I miscalculated. Also, what is your assets that you are sending against me?

What is the assets that you will be sending against me?

I am sending two transports, with 2 Crew armed with small arms.
I believe Providence is sending one transport, at least two crew armed with small arms, and possibly fighters or more crew if needed.

Day 7 already happened. You can't change the past!

His fighters have no munitions.
