Wanton use of nukes and the path to galactic conquest!

Another naming game?

"Amnesia", obviously, because Elephants always forget.

Elephants have a life-long memory :/

But 'Bluff' is a nice name for a casino, you discoverd its M2 bluff ;D

I apologise. It wont happen again.

Phew, that was a bit tense. Daron "Berth" Slamer lives to die another day!

Who needs engineering when ya can just hit the control console with a wrench?

[Tenlar Scarflame]

Nice job! Shame I wasn't there to see it.

Wasn't there someone itching to be your TL pilot?... (not me )

Rhy's Crusade is "Core" actually

It was a casino. Name it Snake Eyes or House Rules.

Cio t'Ktt and Gu t'Ktt? Brothers, maybe? This is going to end tragically.

Only if one of them is going to get married to his childhood sweetheart or retire after this one last mission.

Personally I'd far rather go down with my jaws clamped around a Boron marine's neck/tentacle/whatever with a jar of tartar sauce & some salt & vinegar in my hands...

Maybe they're father and son. And after 3 or 4 successful battles, the son will look over from the middle of a pile of slain foes at the father who is smiling proudly, and be momentarily distracted enough for a Teladi killbot to sneak up behind him and shoot him dead in the back right in front of his father's eyes.

It's a TL. Don't bother naming it, it is going to be sold to finance some ingredients for the Plexghetti con Carnage I wager.

Anyways, a job for 'Pu239' I think, being the only bomber left with anything to fire..

.. a pyhrric victory at best. I'm going to need more Tomahawks too, that's me out now.

Pyhrric - from a Roman or Greek general that achieved victory over at the enemy at huge cost to his own forces.


Does that mean I'm dead, or did my missile barage just do sod all?

i think he means the 6 million in freighter losses was the pyhrric part.

Right boys, General Steve is happy which means I'm happy and more Argon whiskey for all of us. Welcome to the 'Providence' cruise party.

There was me and another fella earlier in the thread both looking to pilot TLs, there might be more, I only remember one other guy though.

Elephants are horrible TLs, I bought one for my first TL because it was cheap, but it has a tiny cargo bay so you have to send it backwards and forwards so much it gets infuriating.

I'm betting it will get blown up in frustration within a week.

Well, there is a long waiting list for TL's with several people explicitly requesting an Elephant. And strangely enough several requested it to be used as a front line battle ship, somewhat peculiar since for 1/3 more you can buy a Shrike.

Anyway, the Elephant is an excellent ship for several purposes. Doing station build missions, as a fitting centre, a supply ship and a pocket carrier with 14 docking slots. Al combined in one vessel, all simultaneously.

However this ones most important property is that it comes with a fully operational casino. In stead of having to pay his henchmen they are going to end up in debt

[..]Hull opening 101?, Bah, just use a missile. [..]Hacking for Beginners? Bah, just use a missile.[..]

Made my day!

Hope there aren't more guys like you in Steve's marinesquad

[98abaile]

What I love about NS's stories is that it provides such a great insight into ways to play. I've been meaning to try capping for the first time and have been fretting over how I'm going to take on something with guns and big shields, I hadn't even considered the civilian TLs.

I believe it was because you/he used the last of his Tomahawks to kill the Q which is a "huge cost" when N-S runs out of missiles.

SLUG, I can't seem to find the post but could you refresh my memory on how to disconnect a sector link from the rest of the universe using the hub?

Aboard the "Providence", you only get to party when you're given permission to (by it's captain, aka, me ). Oh yes, I know all about your stashes of Space Fuel, my dear marines... guess where they went? If you wanna party, remember how we just captured a casino ship...
