simplefish posted:Intel. I wanna know where those cats are off to and any uncovered exhaust ports that may be on their ship. Then instead of one measly chicken we may feast upon the whole coop. I'll see if it's in one of the rule pages I've already uploaded but by default only Caimen can hold bridge positions, aside from Valets which have to be skinks/geckos/etc with the Valet skill. As we've seen though Caiman society is subject to change because now Caimen can be valets as well. Right now aliens that join the crew can only be used on away teams (and for ship defence).

Doesn't the expansion have rules for social change in the event that all of the existing officers get killed/eaten/lost in a freak cosmic accident? We've already got the FEUDAL keyword, and the underclasses certainly don't have any stake in management anymore..

CaptainSarcastic posted:Come on, we MUST recruit the owl. He is more skilled than the rest of the Caiman crew combined. He may not be able to hold a bridge position, but I'm pretty sure having him in our deck increases the effectiveness of our Haldian slaves. I vote we keep him. We need every force multiplier we can get.

We've already got the FEUDAL keyword, and the underclasses certainly don't have any stake in management anymore.. No, the deal is that if you run out of crew you get redshirts who have -2 to whatever the last crew had. They're worthless. There's a Slave Rebellion expansion which I was going to crack out if we picked up the slaves on the world in the last system (it gives you a chance to convert each slave race to one or two useable crew members), but there's no point with just one slave card. E: The feudal keyword is important later but for now all it does is ruins the valet position and weakens the ship almost1337 posted:Pretty sure we have a large pool of them; we just took two on an away mission and got one killed. This, there's an infinite amount of them. Slight majority in favour of keeping the bird, so let's do that. Applewhite is right, he increases the effectiveness of our slaves so they'll almost be on par with the redshirts. Update relatively shortly.

It just dawned on my that if cattes, owles, and foxxes are all together..... Are they they forgotten spawn of the last alliance of Otherkins and Furries? A result of genetic experimentation of men gone wrong and exiled to their own Galaxy?

It's more of a military dictatorship than an alliance. Also I think they predate the notion of thinking it's ok to be attracted to cartoon animals by about fifteen years, give or take.

Sorry for late update, been distracted by rowdiness. Not a massive one tonight anyhow: We spare the Owle, gaining a valuable officer and giving our slaves a bit of a boost. 75:  Asterios posted:Finally, a way to wring more usefulness out of slaves. I don't really know why things like slavery, torture and gladiatorial fights are so common in sci fi but there you go. The boost here is pretty significant because we have crew weapons: two Expertise 5 grunts are a lot better than one Expertise 6 grunt. Here's the Owle again:  It's not mentioned on the card because it's a general Catte bonus but he gets +1 Expertise in the first round of hand to hand combat. We can't use him for much other than an extra away team member (a pretty good one at that) but he has some engineering skill which might be useful later on. Now turning to 421:  Firstly, should we quarantine the Lido or just tell SuGaBA to piss off? Secondly, what's our next move?

Blow up the Caterwaul then Quarantine the Lido Deck We're not running an Italian cruse liner here. Better a crapulent crew than a crap-u-lint ship. If the crew is mad about a few repairs, just imagine how they'd feel about people pooping in the hallway.

Take the shot and quarantine the libido deck. Knowing how these books work, there is probably something really nasty that results from not cleaning it up. I'm torn on both these suggestions, though - letting the Cattes go ahead of us might clean out some other nasties waiting in the next sector, too. They were already beaten pretty badly by the humans, apparently.

In support of telling SuGaBa to shut up: From a narrative standpoint, SuGaBa should be on thin ice right now anyways. At it's suggestion, we merged with the space Giant, rather than eat it. We survived a mutiny for the promise of it being worthwhile. Literally our first space fight, and we take a hit that completely bypasses the point of the upgrade. I know that's just luck of the dice, but still, in roleplaying terms, that's how it went down and how the captain should see it. We close the lido deck, even if we don't suffer another mutiny, odds are good that our crapulence is going to get pretty high up, which means we'll need to either start picking off officers, or we'll be facing an uprising in the next zone. That, and we don't know something bad will happen if we leave the lido deck uncleaned. Sure, it's likely, given the nature of the books, but, it might also throw us for a whammy, and we may get some sort of immunity built up to a future case of space aids due to our repeated exposure to outside contaminants. Or better yet, we're able to develop some horrific biological weapon that results from all the various fluids and filth we accumulate in there. the_steve fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Oct 11, 2015 |

Blow the Cattes up and Quarantine the Lido deck. If I remember correctly, Caimans getting Toxoplasmosis pretty much guarantees that we'll lose. Something about literally rotting Caimans' brains.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Knowing how these books work, there is probably something really nasty that results from not cleaning it up. I say middle ground: reopen the deck, but put up a sign at the entrance: "PATRONS USE THIS FACILITY AT THEIR OWN RISK. MANAGEMENT ASSUMES NO LIABILITY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED FOR SPACE HERPES SPACE TOXOPLASMOSIS OR SPACE WARTS". That should keep us safe, from a legal standpoint at least. We do not want to get involved in a personal injury case without a ship's lawyer on our crew. Also take the drat shot already.

I think it involved stuffing your weapons officer full of spice to improve the chances of shot actually hitting. Of course it also had some special consequences for failing but i don't recall what those were. It might have featured some sort of a codeword tho?

We should try and capture that human. We might need to all join knowledge and skills for some kind of final fight. That, or, what if humans taste the best? Would we really be able to live with ourselves if we didn't eat the last human?
