[Azira]

Oh wow. You might actually make it!

 

[Lindblum]

Oh wow. You might actually make it!

If he manages to find a store to get patched up.

 

[Azira]

Yeah. I've had crystal crewmember before, only to get fucked by randoms. One was a 5-man mantis boarding team. Tore straight through my crew and ship.

 

[TOME]

The OPness seems to be sailing under lucky stars. Keep it going, I want to see the end boss!

 

[Damned Registrations]

Update time!

Obvious choice is obvious (if you've been reading the quest dialogues, which you probably haven't but whatever.)

One bigass empty sector ready to go.

Not sure what we're looking for in here to find the wormhole, better check nodes without ships as well.

Oh man.

Oh wow a whole one fuel. So worthwhile.

Oh also we seem to be warping somewhere.

Think this might be good guys?

Quest marker ahoy!

And of course instant store.

Cooool.

Interesting.

This one seems a bit redundant for us but I could see it being useful if you don't want to board ships.

Pity we don't have much to sell.

Well first of all lets get patched up.

May as well buy this just to try it, it's dirt cheap.

Don't need this laser any more.

Set things up this way I guess? With 3 weapon energy, we can either firebomb, fire 3 laser bursts, or fire the heavy crystal shard.

Better nab some fuel too.

And to top it off, we grab the cloak.

Our target isn't too far off. Well, lets get to it!

No big surprise here, we have to fight crystal guys in the crystal sector. Well technically this one is optional.

But since when the fuck do we back down from fights?

Poor bastards only have 2 crew.

We manage to kill this fucker before he gets back to the medbay.

Huh, they fired that crystal lockdown bomb at our shield room.

Oh noes! TOME will have to stay inside... and keep doing what he was going to do anyways... and suffer no ill effect. I can see why this isn't a standard enemy weapon.

Shit, their other weapons are the ones we could buy.

They're like burst lasers with crystal shards.

I guess they can ignore the last point of shielding. Weird.

Well, we can play that game too.

Want to use the medbay do you?

HAH.

Nice late sector rewards.

Oh yeah, we rescued some punks too huh?

The Federation ship... had their own crystal crewmember... and HE's the one to join us?

Better get more power now that we have a cloak to run.

Dang. Another store. Wonder if it has those cool burst crystals.

Nope, just selling awesome crew. We got no real need for them though, and no money to spare. Though it does let us see their stats in the description on the right.

Lets heal to full before we get to the quest beacon, in case it involves some brutal fight.

Here goes nothing...

So awesome.

Lets show our gratitude by murdering lots of his kin.

Gah! They're speciesist! How DARE they. Thats our job.

Commencing insectoid rape protocol.

LOL, they're so fucked.

I mean, even if those all landed we'd have been fine.

Moar crew? Can it be?

Oh man, we're rolling in crystal dudes.

Also in spare scrap. Time to get all these minor systems to level 2 so they can take a graze without failing.

Rebels are here too somehow. Busy sector considering how hard it was for us to get here.

We could use the crystal crew as boarders as well...

But Azira and Nathan are so damned good at this shit.

Though that level 2 medbay is going to be annoying. Lets see if our Heavy Crystal weapon can take it down. If it works like beam weapons, then I think it can hit for 1 or 2 damage?

Nopte, it pinged the shield for one damage. Not impressive considering it takes 19 seconds to charge.

Whatever, firebombs and mantises win the day, as per usual.

May as well make the most of this place.

Fodder ho!

Beamed our guys into the medbay after firebombing it to stop them from just repairing it right away.

But the medbay can easily handle both our damage and the fire, while our guys are burning and getting hit in melee. Not a good scenario for us.

Well then, lets try these guys out instead.

Crystal bullshit deployed.

Firebomb also deployed, while you stupid fucks are trapped in here.

Well, cutting it a bit close on our crew health, but a nice win nonetheless.

We're swimming in fuel now too. Also, the fire we started is continuing to ravage their ship after we left, which I always find amusing.

ANOTHER store? Must be Xmas already.

No crystal stuff at all this time though. Meh.

We'll grab the drone system and defense drone, to simplify fights against guys with bigass missiles.

Selling useless system repair drone.

And more energy, because we need tons now with all these systems installed.

Why is this a special option? You can't GET here without a crystal crewmember.

Well, yay I guess?

Pretty fucking lame for a conditional reward in a late rare sector. Was hoping for some weapons.

Well, exit time I think.

More damsels in distress.

Crystal pirates on a slug cruiser. Okaaay.

No medbay, should be an easy win.

Lets turn it into a royal rumble for good measure.

Those ions would be pretty annoying without this cloak.

Hurray for scrap!

See? More crew than we can even hold. Bet it's another crystal too. But everyone we have is skilled, so fuck 'em.

Small note here, even though our teleporter room only holds 2 at a time...

You can teleport any number of stationary guys OUT of a room.

Well, time to heal up and move on.

Oh, and to spend more scrap.

Looks good.

Warping put us directly on a slug homeworld, not even a map screen popup.

Distress beacon? Here? Fuck that shit.

We're pretty much ready to end the game 2 sectors ago, so lets move along.

Empty node. No sweat.

Guess we'll have to fight this time.

And our improved O2 system pays off bigtime.

Stupid fighting in nebulas fucking our sensors.

Time to try something cheeky.

Crystalmen aboard...

Door sealed, mebay destroyed.

By the time it wears off, we can beam in our mantises as well.

Does not work out well for the enemy.

Tons of scrap. Maybe we should hang around here a bit just to gather loot.

Lets cap the teleporter, since it's obviously gonna be useful to send over 4 guys at a time.

Grab the energy for it too.

From now on our default plan is to send in the crystals first to kill the medbay, then the mantises to clean up.

Hmmm, store. But we have little scrap and less need for a store.

Selling junk anyways.

Lets grab some missiles so we can be liberal with the firebombing when we want.

Onwards!

Evil sneaky slug bastards. Luckily we got a rockman.

Saving throw vs poison easily passed. Time to fuck these guys up.

Fucking cloakers too.

Thats fine, we can cloak too.

Hmm, boarding plan fail. Used the ability too late, they had a guy in the adjacent room run right in.

Well, this still has potential.

They can't handle all our guys at once anyways.

Firebomb ready.

No more medbay for you fuckers.

And our evasion trolls their missiles and bombs.

More loot!

More prey awaits.

Dread Pirate Nights eh?

As if we'd ever say no.

Oh, real scary, cloaking at us.

No nebula to hide in this time.

Lets try a different approach to the medbay thing.

We'll lock the room next to it and let the mantises take it out.

Perfect. Except for them hitting our ship with heavy lasers. Fucking cunts.

Our guys getting roughed up a bit,

but in the end it's another easy win with a huge reward.

So much spare time.

Well that'll solve that problem.

Well, we found another squishy ship to raid.

Or maybe we didn't. Fuck this.

Time to leave. We can't beam through super shields and I've no interest in plinking it away with our piss poor lasers.

Now this is more like it.

Oh man, softest target we've seen in a long time.

Mantises can handle this alone in the 2x2 room.

Nice reward of course. And from the civvies?

Another decent reward.

We got plenty of scrap now. Lets end this shit.

We wish to speak with Blackfish. Wait. Wrong genre.

Behold, the reason for our wanton destruction on the way here: really obvious secrets we had to deliver!

10 fuel and a hull repair and we're on our way. Of course, we get no escors or anything. It'd just be unfair to attack their flagship with more than one ship at a time.

Fortunately we're pretty much a flagship ourselves at this point.

This last sector has slightly different rules than usual. First, there are repair stations, with will give us some free repairs if we visit them. (And guarantee no fighting.) Second, instead of an expanding wave of rebel influence, they just kind of randomly start controlling beacons. Third, the flagship we have to kill. Which moves around and shit, and if we let it jump 5 times, we lose. Fortunately, it jumps at half the speed we do.

Of course, we can still encounter rebels on the way there, even before they control a beacon.

Standard rape squad will work just fine.

Add the insects...

Fucking missile spammers hit our pilot!

And our cloak. Both of which are level 2 and therefore pretty much not affected at all.

Oh damn, Nelis almost bit the dust.

We'll get them out of there and let Azira finish them off. While our O2 system burns down. Fucking missiles!

84 scrap. Not too shabby at all.

At this point it doesn't matter what we upgrade really. 3% more evasion? Sure. Weee.

Huh, a store.

Nothing worth buying of course. And we spent our scrap already besides.

Well, it got us repaired. Where the fuck is that flagship headed?

The beacon next to it doesn't even go anywhere. What the hell. Why did it warp over here?

Well, doesn't change our plan at all really. Note the couple of beacons with !! marks. Those are rebel controlled now. If they had stores or whatever before, doesn't matter, now it's just a big rebel cruiser.

Like this beacon actually.

I've gotten better at this whole teleport-lockdown thing now.

Of course the enemies want to board us too. Cute.

They've got pretty good weapons too actually. Except they're all off synch and therefore not that dangerous to us at all.

Full on boarding engaged.

Crystal guy got level 2 fighting already. Not too shabby.

Just like if you get caught in the rebel fleet elsewhere in the game, winning the fight only ever rewards you with a single fuel.

Out of the frying pan and all that.

Similar setup, except these guys have a scary missile.

In fact, their weapons are annoying enough that I want to fuck them up before the medbay.

Maybe we should have trapped a guy in here too though.

Gah, our firebomb missed, and they managed to teleport their guys back before they died.

And that fucking missile isn't even offline.

Well, we can cloak it for the moment.

Time for an all out brawl.

I'm not sure we're winning it though

I guess we were! Firebomb totally wasted too.

Target acquired.

Full power to EVERYTHING HOLY SHIT.

 

[LusciousPear]

OH MAN. It took me hours of savescumming to beat the capship last time.

Really wanna see your strategy for this. Fucking drones fucked me up.

 

[kazgar]

teleport into the missle launcher first! then the ion gun.

 

[Azira]

Hints for final fight.

Spoiler

Yep, missile launcher first, then the ion gun, last the triple laser. You can ignore the beam weapon in the first encounter.
Second phase, you need to keep someone on your own ship to deal with the constantly respawning boarding drone, but again focus on taking down the missile launcher. Keep the cloak handy for the drone spam. The ion gun and enemy cloak is disabled in the second phase.
Third phase is annoying with the super shield.. You need that gone before you can 'port your guys. Keep the cloak handy for either the first barrage of missiles or the heavy laser spam. Once the super shield is down, again take out the missile launcher. Beam weapon and drone control are both gone in the third phase.

I found it's a question of proper timing. The boss plays out the same every time, so if you know what's coming, it's manageable. Just bear in mind that it's three phases you need to go through! First time I fought the boss, I barely scraped through the first, as my targeting was all over the thing.

A very handy thing to remember is, the weapons are sealed off from the rest of the boss ship. Take them out, and they cannot be repaired in that phase, unless you kill off the entire crew. Should you do so, the boss turns on its AI, with the annoying habit of self-repair...

And I am so goddamn jealous that you managed to unlock the crystal cruiser. Nice job though. I hope to manage some time soon as well. I've started the game over about 20 times with the rock cruiser, aiming for the right setup of zones to go through. The times I got the zones right, not all events triggered. The game hates me, I'm sure.
Took the rock cruiser as I'm getting good with that, and the rock armour is handy for rescuing the stasis pod.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Hehe. I've already done the fight guys. You're all doing it wrong btw.

I did manage to cock things up near the end though. Just had to try something out.

 

[Azira]

Looking forward to seeing how you handle the boss battle then.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Psych! You guys thought this was the update huh?

 

[Azira]

*is disappointed*

As to the vote, well. I dunno. AI war?

I'm still burning with jealousy that you unlocked that crystal cruiser. :X

I just hope I manage to unlock it soon as well.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Update time!

Fuckers have a cloak. Also, a fucking gigantic ship with like 40 systems and eleventy billion crew.

So shit is basically fair. We start by porting Azira into their missile launcher controls. Since he's a mantis (and trained at that) he can easily overwhelm the single crewmember stationed there and destroy the system for us. If you lack mantises, two of pretty much anything but Engi's can do this just as well.

Fucking missiles man. Their other weapons aren't much of a threat though.

Oh come ON. I forgot we should be using the cloak to evade these missiles. They're only 1 damage each though, no biggie.

Azira has finished his assassination and is working on the weapon system. Nathan is working on the beam in the next room over, and we've fire bombed the door system (since the fire won't spread worth shit with upgraded doors.)

I forgot to mention, we've had the defense drone up this whole time as well, which is why I didn't bother cloaking. Now that they cloaked again we have to just chill for a bit.

Finally started using our cloak to dodge shit.

We send in a crystal dude to take out their ion weapons as well. This'll leave them basically helpless.

Not that they can do much anyways, against 45% evasion and 4 shields.

Now they're missiles are offline. They keep putting out our fires though.

Damn, can crystal man not handle this? I thought he'd win for sure with the 25 extra hp.

Close as fuck. We can't beam him out either because the enemy ship is cloaked.

Nice! Victory and he levelled up.

I decide to get him out of there and patched up right away (though it would have made more sense to let him finish fucking up the ion gun, he's totally safe there unless the O2 fails.)

Our firebombing hasn't resulted in much of anything, they have too much crew for us to sustain a fire, and they repair shit real fast too.

Lets leave it off for now.

Dump the power into the teleporters and medbay, see if we can't invade the fuck out of them.

Crystals into the medbay first.

You can actually fire off the ability the instant they start teleporting, before they finish materializing.

And the enemy has the only 4 slot medbay in the game that I'm aware of, which means...

Well it would have meant we can send in the fucking mantises too, but fucking CLOAK ARGH.

No dice. We did do some damage though.

But we may as well try again with the proper setup. We're in no rush, they can't repair their weapons.

Ok, this is not what I meant to do. This is pointless. They have like a level 3 medbay, even damaged it is still way too strong.

Get the fuckers out.

And then I fire bombed it, to stop them from repairing I guess? I'm just wasting time and resources here.

Well, we got both to spare, so I guess that's fine.

More cloaking. Note that we can't see the ship layout unless we have crew on board while they cloak.

We needed time to heal anyways. Also our shields are getting really low.

We'll cloak too to give the shields a chance to recover.

Things working much better this time.

Perfect, 4 of us in their medbay with a crystal lockdown in effect. I forgot to repower our shields though.

Medbay down!

And firebomb the cloak as a nice distraction while they try to fight us. I still haven't powered the shields though, and I can't adjust the power until the ion effect wears off.

Lucky cunts. Argh.

We're thrashing their crew though.

And we can cloak too.

And here goes their last crewmember not trapped in a weapon's station.

This is basically checkmate right here. We have the run of the ship to destroy whatever system we want, and they have no weapons to stop us or ability to repair themselves.

Those level 3 doors are keeping that fire totally contained though, so I beam some guys in to take down the door system.

There we go.

Now we can sit back and enjoy the show.

Throw a firebomb at the shields to speed this up a bit.

Oh yeah, thats the stuff.

They have such a high powered O2 system that the fire can't deplete the O2 at all. it'll burn until the O2 goes down.

I even firebomb their ion cannon for good measure.

At this point we can just finish them off with our weak ass lasers. Which start a fire in their engines actually.

Burn! BURN!

But the fuckers manage to warp (most of) their ship away before dying.

And there goes phase one. We get a pittance of a reward, and the count down to catch the ship gets reset.

Though, now it's so close that the count down is basically meaningless unless you intend to warp off to get repaired or something.

This time it has no cloak and no ion cannon. All the other systems are repaired though. However... their crew is still dead. Except the one guy we left alive in the lasers. That makes this the easiest phase for us, honestly.

Once again, we beam right to the missiles. 2 guys this time, to take it out faster. They do have drones attacking us as well this time though.

But we can handle those easily, especially with a defense drone to shoot down boarder drones.

And we firebomb on the shields.

However, now it starts doing this 'power surge' bullshit. We get a warning a few seconds in advance, before-

It swarms us with a ton of extra drones all at once.

This is why people often consider the cloak to be vital for the end boss. We could weather it with our ship though, honestly. As long as the other weapons are down.

Now, just like before, we sit back and let the fire do the work before pinging them to death with our lasers.

Occasionally cloaking for the drone swarms.

Level 1 cloak is best for this, since a longer cloak won't start recharging in time for the next power surge.

Trollolol.

We can laser down their normal drone system too, lessening the threat even further.

Oh yeah, we never did get to try this fucker out did we? POW! Crystal to the medbay! Eat that fuckers!

Of course, it limps away yet again.

Hmm, no point in warping ahead of them. If we wait for a turn...

Then we can jump right at the flagship again.

You're ours rebel scum! : x

Fucking sons of bitches have a super shield now.

Takes us forever to whittle down with these lame weapons.

Also, that superweapon they mentioned? This time their power surge can launch a volley of like 12 heavy lasers.

Cloaking works wonders here too though, as does level 4 shields and high evasion.

Super shields almost down, then we can beam aboard and firebomb some shit.

Got the shield!

Unfortunately, in my retard haze, I send Azira to finish off their last crew member, thinking I want him out of the way so I can light the ship on fire 100% for an achievement. Whoops.

Now that the ship has no crew, it just repairs itself like an AI drone would. Gah.

Whatever, it still can't put out fires.

And it still can't really hurt us.

FUCKING MISSILES.

I don't even have our defense drone up of course. Derp.

And our firebomb misses. Cute.

Whatever, we'll take out the damned missiles with our other boarding party.

Also, since the ship self repairs, technically we could just leave our boarders on the ship wrecking stuff for the hull damage until it blows up. With our crew on it. Want to make a noble sacrifice Azira?

Oh, did I mention they get to reraise their super shield (which has 10 fucking points instead of the usual 5) with their power surges? Yeah, they can do that.

Whatever, our guys are still on board. We can just chill and patch the system damage.

Laser volley that bitches! Evasion ftw!

We can't even teleport our guys back while that shield is up. Super annoying.

Well, back to pinging away at it.

If only we'd left at least one guy on board the main hull, he could be wrecking all sorts of shit right now.

Their hull is trickling away though.

And now their shield is gone. Again.

I didn't even get to launch one firebomb.

I did leave the crystals in the missile bay to keep it offline though, and we got the thing down again eventually.

And now we got guys on the main ship.

Uh, guys? Wreck the shields maybe?

Firebombed the lasers and the piloting. If I get the missile compartment too...

Gah.

Well, hopefully I get the shield back down before Azira burns to death.

Alright, here we go. The enemy has barely any hull left.

One firebomb left.

Azira is safe.

Now we just wait for the fire to spread...

Super shield won't save you now fuckers!
Interestingly, it seems the computer doesn't or cannot repair rooms that are on fire while in AI mode.

DOH. Wasted our last firebomb while the shield was still up.

BURN! Muahaha. And the crystal takes out the super shield.

And now the O2 is getting fucked up. Can the fire spread to the rest of the engines in time to get our achievement?

Almost...

...there...

Little more! O2 almost gone!

Awww shit.

Well fuck you then. You can eat lasers.

So long rebel scum.

to fallen crewmember Muckefuck as well.

Not too shabby.

Not my best score, but it made the top 3. A lot of my wins don't even break 4k score.

New ship unlocked!

Cool weapons and augments. And crew of course.

LP Complete!

I might come back to this and play more ships some day, but I think this is a good note to officially end on, and I'm not in the mood for more it it right now anyways.

===============================================================================

I'm gonna make a poll for what to LP next, but I figured I'd take some suggestions first. No guarantees that I'll actually put your suggestion in the poll of course, but if someone suggests something I hadn't thought of that I'd want to do I'll put it in. Anyways, current ideas for next LP are:

Nethack (As Random/Random until I win (Again, I'm quite spoiled))
AI Wars (Until we win or lose, unless I manage to lose really quickly. I'll turn on some random shit, which means I'll be at least semi blind. I've only won a couple of games of this and haven't seen most of the shit from the expansions.)
Lufia 2 (Fairly textbook jrpg, probably my favourite on the SNES)
Labyrinth of Touhou (I'll pick it up where I left off and finish it. I've beaten it once before. Mostly it'll be about strategy and tactics for boss fights, I won't cover the inane plot.)
SaGa Frontier (First one I ever started (and shortly abandoned, I don't think it's even in the playground) I could either pick this one back up or start as a different character. Probably play through just one character unless it gets really popular.)
Secret of Evermore (Old hack n slash/jrpg for the SNES. Pretty original, despite cloning the Secret of Mana engine.)
Iji (Side scrolling metroid style sort of indie game with rpg elements (stats) and RPG elements (C&C bitches!). Also RPGs (as in rocket launcher.) Not sure how I'd do a playthrough of this, maybe leave choices up to the audience. I've beaten it multiple times and seen most of the game.
Edit: I forgot one.
Transcendence (A sort of real time roguelike with you playing as a small fighter craft in space. Played through this a lot too, will probably play with the Network mod, which adds some interesting stuff.)

I also intend to put Ogre Battle and Star Ocean 2 up for vote at some point in the future, but they're both way too long for me to want to get into right now.

As a last note, I'm curious if there's anything you guys want me to change generally about the LPs. I was considering having a more set schedule for updating, or putting the updates in spoiler tags so the pages don't get to be a mile long with 500 images. Dunno if you guys would prefer any of that though.

 

[kazgar]

Aha!

Crystal dudes make that way easier, that 4 spot medbay usually fucks over any useful boarding action, if you can take that out, working through the crew makes way more sense.

 

[Damned Registrations]

I generally find that taking out the medbay isn't a big problem by this point. The enemy crew is only human, so as long as you can spare 4 people to board the ship, you can take them on in a fair fight. And if you don't have any means of getting through shields or wearing them down to hurt systems (the medbay) before you board, I dunno how you'd even get this far honestly. If you can hurt the ship, you can hurt the medbay. And if you can hurt the medbay, you can kill the crew.

 

[eklektyk]

congrats
jet i feel failures were moar entertaining

 

[procrastinator]

Whatever that you are going to play next, please, make it so I could read text on those screenshots without my eyes bleeding

 

[Damned Registrations]

Yeah this game was kind of hell on the screenshots. Hmm.

Suggestions:
- Soundtrack
- [use quote] s
- drop nice pics inbetween
- no weaboo...

Next LP:
- Metal Something Tactics? The one in Azira's signature. Where he failed epically.
- Unity of Command ( I wanted to do it but I dont like work )
- Anything from here goes http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?forums/tcancer-news-content-comments.27/

I'm kinda leaning away from anything that requires a lot of troop management/logistics stuff right now. Brigandine already has enough of that. Although AI Wars is in the tcancer forum there and already on my list. I don't find it as much of a problem because you don't have to worry about keeping individual units alive (well, golems and shit, but those are nearly invincible anyways.) As for the no weeaboo... well I'm kind of hoping for the same. There's a lot of overlap between the weeaboo games there, so I figure the vote will get split and Nethack/AI Wars/Transcendence will win unless the weeaboos outnumber everyone by a lot or all want to see the same game by some odd chance.

Reposting the list of games here for easy access on a page without screenshots:

Nethack (As Random/Random until I win (Again, I'm quite spoiled))
AI Wars (Until we win or lose, unless I manage to lose really quickly. I'll turn on some random shit, which means I'll be at least semi blind. I've only won a couple of games of this and haven't seen most of the shit from the expansions.)
Lufia 2 (Fairly textbook jrpg, probably my favourite on the SNES)
Labyrinth of Touhou (I'll pick it up where I left off and finish it. I've beaten it once before. Mostly it'll be about strategy and tactics for boss fights, I won't cover the inane plot.)
SaGa Frontier (First one I ever started (and shortly abandoned, I don't think it's even in the playground) I could either pick this one back up or start as a different character. Probably play through just one character unless it gets really popular.)
Secret of Evermore (Old hack n slash/jrpg for the SNES. Pretty original, despite cloning the Secret of Mana engine.)

Transcendence (A sort of real time roguelike with you playing as a small fighter craft in space. Played through this a lot too, will probably play with the Network mod, which adds some interesting stuff.)

Huh, I forgot to put Dark Souls on there? That's another one. Wouldn't be a full playthrough, closer to a speed run (skipping shit) and showing how to crush the game by knowledge rather than twitch skills.

 

[Lindblum]

Trancendence
I would like to see what this game is about.

 

[Azira]

Ah, a single question about this LP if I may?

In some screenshots we see you pinging another node some way off from where you're currently at, yet you're able to see the connections to said node. How does that work?

 

[Damned Registrations]

It's a setting in the options.

 

[Azira]

Maybe I should fiddle with them a bit then. STEAM says I've sunk 66 hours into the game so far (still no crystal cruiser ) so might be about time?

 

[Damned Registrations]

Maybe.

If you want the cruiser real bad my best suggestion would be to pick the Redtail and just faceroll through the first sectors a lot, quitting if you either don't get the chamber in the first few sectors or if it'll be impossible to finish the quest (like no late red sectors that could be rock homeworld.)
