.. That's a whole lot of high-explosives right there
Enough, I'd wager, to blow up the entire sector, planets and sun included, in one big apocalyptic mini-BIG BANG! Hope you don't let any weed smoking crew into the cargo bay. :fg: :lol:

Holy cr*p, now that's a big fleet. Might I apply to fly that unmanned Kea in White Wing?

Ship name: Bigger Than Yours
Armament: Any
Missiles: Wasp/Hurricane

'course if you find a use for a good M6, I'll volunteer to fly that instead. :P
Thanks, and good luck with whatever you plan to do with the Terrans.

Orange wing is clearly superior to all others. Being too valuable to waste in combat with the Xenon I suggest we do the vitally important task of assault unarmed freighters to steal their cargo. Let the other, less valuable, wings do less important tasks like distracting feature creep toasters.

Wait, Meep Meep's damaged? Surely I couldn't have broken something already?

I, I just took a ride
In the Silver-Wing Machine
And I'm still feeling Mean......

Well I think it's me...since I came up with the name "Bomb Voyage"

Looks like I'm back to being plain old Captain Trask

I just took a ride
in a silver (wing) machine
and I'm still feeling mean
I got a silver (wing) machine
Do you want to ride
see yourself going by
other side of the sky
Well I got a silver (wing) machine
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign
It flies out of a dream
It's anti-septically clean
You're gonna know where I've been
In my silver (wing) machine

Sure was :)

Hey - I'm in! I've taken the ship out for a few lazy patrols, boss. She rattles a bit on full throttle, but other than that, she's fine. Gimme something useful to do!

Well, as long as there is a least 6 GJ of shielding between me and the vaccuum, I got nothing to complain about. No problem with sending other people to their glorius deaths for Steve.

You're right, sorry dude! ;)

Might I amend my application instead to a Falcon Sentinel.
All other data to remain the same. Especially the name. :P

Hey now! That there was MY Falcon Sentinel.

...just treat her nice, is all.

*goes back to buffing out Duck Dodgers II, giving a last glance to Duck Dodgers I.*

A good ship you were, Ducky. But time to other people see, it is. :paranid:

I want to volenter for any positions availible. :wink: :? :cry: Maybe I will regret my decision when the enemy takes out my assighned fighters and comes for me. I have a problem with jumping out when things get tough. I I like to fly the OTAS TM because it is the best light assult sector patrol flight leader...and it can mount a jump drive+large shield+great firepower. As you just royally pissed off OTAS I don't see how that will happen any time soon however I look forward to working with you one day should you need a commander for a small fighter attachment or as a scout or anything because no one else will hire me. :cry: I've been spaced twice and marooned on a desert planet once. However I managed to escape. :D I will be great for deploying your quick responce units and relaying you important information prior to your opps. :) I must warn you I am a chronic alchoholic, chain smoker, risk taker and curse like a sailor ever since I got out of the argon Navy. I'm also heavily intoxicated on space weed in order to manage chronic parianoia however it makes me FEARLESS :!: I also activate the jump drive and RLSG when missles get launched at me. I let other people fight for me unless I'm in a Mamba because I was born with a birthmark that says "Fighter Jock." I don't have any friends becasue half of the ones I had died in battle while I jumped away. The other half of the friends I had are mad because my job was to shoot down the Hammers but there were so many my buzz wore off and I had to go. So now my old friends want to kill me. It was the fact that they keep looking for me that I was able to steal their ship and escape that desert planet. :lol:
The skunk really is a bare bones model. It doesn't even have a GPS to highlight the way. Or targeting software MK 2 to allow target selection and painting from the sector map. It lacks a Trading System Extention to show prices in the sector you are in. The lack of satellites in rebirth is also annoying to the trader/pirate looking for a mark.

Usenko hears the signal.

He turns to the Comms/weapons officer.

"Gisssard, inform the flight leader that the Gulargambone is ready for combat."

He sips his Diet Coke. Life is good. :)

I think maybe it's time i threw in my application, if you'll consider it:

Ship: Falcon Hauler/Sentinel (doesn't really matter which one)
Name: "Definitely Not A Villain"
Loadout: EBC up front, PRG in the back for missile defence
Missile type: Whichever is needed at that moment

I can't guarantee i won't be drunk when flying, but i promise i won't be crashing into other ships too often <_<

Boss, you could park it up at a military base so the meatshie...highly trained boarding operatives have got somewhere to practice. You know, jumping over consoles, learning to throw the grenade and not the pin, annoying everyboby by saying "Hut hut hut hut hut hut" all the time, learning which side of the airlock is unfriendly etc. It would be like a giant adventure playground for them.

Does this mean they're going to be renamed Pink Wing??
