While the team was raging and arguing, Cpt. Grimwulf nodded in silence, listing an old book, "How To Be a Prospector".
hrrm, combat... space combat...
A-ha, page 16. I got this in the bag. Muh book of endless wisdom.
What, that's it..? "Space combat is a bit more complex"? Nothing else? OH FUCK YOU SPACE MANUALS!
Awright, FULL RETREAT! ... Aaand the game broke. I'll try to restart, but IIRC the savegame won't load if the game wasn't shutdown properly.
Shows what I know. Ok, TIME PARADOX men.
47 fuel... Maybe going eastwards for just a little while, maybe 5-10 sectors, to see if any more stars pop up? If not, then return to the station to refuel then try the other way 'round to the battleship.
Let's hope this decision won't lead us to another disaster. Eastwards we go!
Guess what happens when you fly aimlessly through SPACE?
That's what.
Let's be realistic for a change. We are flying on a junk ship with only one weapon (the cheapest laser I could find) manned by the worst gunner in the Universe. Against us is unkown number of battle-hardened SPACE PIRATES. They probably have better ships and weapons.
I say we retreat, but do it in a dignified way.
Like, SS Codex is
above fighting random pirate scum.
Awright, FULL RETREAT!
That was close. At least Azira is p.gud at escaping.
As you can see, we spotted another star while exploring, although it's in a gas cloud again. Time to get back to the station.
Yeat another star spotted, once again in a gas cloud. SS Codex is really lucky.
Dock us at the Station, Azira.
Azira earned himself a promotion. That daring escape was something to rememer.
The crew is happy - everyone, except
lightbane of course. Maybe I should decline your wages even further? Eh, maybe later.
Let's see how much we've earned this time.
Not much. After refuelling and repairing the hull up to 7/7 I have only 223 Cr left.
They say my jetpack has arrived, but... that's not a jetpack.
What is wrong with you? Oh, screw it. Don't have time for this.
So here is the deal. A mmmmassive booty awaits us on dat battleship. The Captain's Intuition never fails! Thus I'm feeling generous today.
8 Credits! That's how much you'll get for this job. You will be rich, men! No time to waste - start those engines! We are flying west!
*many times later*
Ok, we are between two star systems. Let's scan the red one? Make some quick buck? Or better not waste any time, and get that Battleship (should be close to our current location), before somebody else does?
