Cracking cliff hanger

Awesome story so far! Hope your still alive squiddy! Else hope Squiddy junior steps up to avenge you!

Best part of all this is the flood of reactions to something happening to someone else playing a computer game...

Cracking cliffhanger though

(and I think this situation would definitely allow hitting Pause and considering options for a while)

This better not be like some TV shows that have a cliff hanger for a last episode of the season and then make you wait until next summer for the conclusion! I think I should possibly go crazy waiting for the next thrilling adventure of Squiddy!

(P.s. I'll also be disappointed if this is like some second rate shows that replaces the lead actor between seasons and hopes no-one notices...I think we'd all notice if season 2 the star was Squiddy McThreeEyes

)

People like a good story

and this has been a good story indeed

Its also interesting and inspiring which makes you want to play the game some more.

But it certainly has grown quite a fan base thats for sure

Patiently awaiting the next installment

You never know, SLUG may have just gone on a two week hoilday abroad

My gut feeling is that The Squidster will survive yet again. Partially battered perhaps, but alive.

Just thought of something really bad - If McSquid has gone to meet his maker, how will we ever know?

Blondes...

His jumpdrive fried as he was trying to RSLG-JD!

kinda hard to unfocus the jumpdrive if it ain't there.
i always thought the regular JD and the UJD where two seperate versions of the JD
as in the UJD doesnt require the regular JD to operate
p.s im not a blode and not stupid

I regret the offense my comment caused, it was not intended to be serious, and was based completely on the fact your avatar is VERY fair-haired, my likely faulty understanding of the unfocused JD was that it was a modification to the existing JD to allow an untargeted jump procedure. Anyone else want to weigh in on that? I ain't got TC to check.

So long as its only battered it may continue, if its paella then its good night one and all

Way to leave us hanging. Is this Squiddy's Last Stand, or did he squirm out of it yet again?

Well I always knew the Split would get there own back sooner or later

Poor old Squidy RIP

Hmmmmmm now that would be interesting. Can you do an unfocused jump in your spacesuit? What do you do if you end up in the middle of Khaak paradise .. I hope the spacesuit has been upgraded to max speed and has 1GJ shields

It still needs E-Cells though doesn't it? I would not want to think where you would keep those in your space suit

Dude, what are you talking about .. I always keep a few ECells stashed on my person (don't ask where) to power my MP3 player and in case of minor emergencies, doesn't everyone? Also the space suit needs power now doesn't it ... ;P

Cmon a space suit unfocused jump couldn't possibly need more than 5 ecells hehehe.

it wouldnt have enough room to carry ecells
the space suit has a cargo space of 1[which is permanently filled with the repair laser] and carry only - (tiny i think) size wares
while e-cells need S class cargo

also how would you get get the e-cells into it

dock at spp?(youll die of old age by the time you get there)[and since the squid is is being attacked hell be BBQ ed as soon as he gets out]{transporter device does not work with the suit)

Wow, one cliffhanger and the post count goes through the roof like a vertical Kestrel.

Legionnaire · Post by **Legionnaire** » Thu, 15. Jan 09, 18:57

Everybody is more than a little worried about Squiddy, it might break the poor squids heart to know just how much of an adoring fann base and following he has

Epilogue:

Split after-action military reports state the pirate vessel M7 - 'Maggot' registered to one Squiddy McSquid, wanted in connection with the disappearance of the Raptor assigned to Family Pride Home-fleet as well as numerous other piracy related crimes across the galaxy was contacted today in Tharkas Sun attempting to commit acts of piracy on a TM class vessel and may have been aiding raiders on the local XL-SPP.

Sources further indicate the pirate vessel was intercepted by a Split military patrol from Family Rhonkar who, in coordination with local police defence forces, engaged the rogue vessel.

Despite the enemy vessel putting up a spirited defence superior Split firepower won the day and the enemy ship was destroyed with all hands.

Glory to Rhonkar!
