Update: We're going for 2 days of refuelling, snagging the psionic amplifier and heading for Kitalpha. In that two days we took a hit to the hull and a burst of radiation. Usually hull hits from things other than starship weapons don't cause critical hits, but the text specifies otherwise. We score a console explosion which hits Hugh Mann, injuring him and putting him out of action for a few days. Since we're about to go into the jump, who cares. We can spend 10 ENERGY to bring him back up to full health and get rid of the 1 EXPERTISE penalty for being hurt if y'all want. Bear in mind he's not a Caiman so he can only get hurt twice before he dies (the Caiman racial bulk bonus makes the crew much less vulnerable to ship accidents than other races are) We also roll on the radiation chart and get a radiation leak that affects a random officer. It gets the captain! He gets hit with a mutation, and since he's a Caiman he gets two of them. Luckily for us, he doesn't get any of the nasty mutations (genetic decay, blindness, brain damage, etc) but instead grows an extra arm and the ability to spit his teeth as a ranged attack! He gets +1 FISTS (up to 4 now) and +1 in ranged combat, bringing him to 9 there in total. Our energy goes up to 152 but the Captain only gains 10 ENERGY from the break, not 20 since Spudfinder's main function as an AI is to pipe New Wave music through the speakers at all times. Here's what we picked up out of the wreckage:  Might be handy. I should remind you this thing will only work once for reasons those of you who read the book before will recall, so save it until you really need it. It also doesn't always do anything. Now that's done we turn to 173:  Anyway on to Kitalpha at last (150). We used the JO crystal in this jump which causes us to take another radiation check. This time we take 1 HULL damage, bringing us to 8 HULL. We are able to complete this 14-day trip in 5 days though, so probably worth it. I rolled for Hugh Mann - he's drunk againt so gets -2 comms EXPERTISE, which is annoying.   What should we do? Here's the starship manifest:  And the map:

I changed my mind. This seems like the kind of place to find space hookers. With space STDs. Judging from the bits of text we saw from other threads, that can only lead to good things. Go down there and get laid. Also gamble. KillHour fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Nov 5, 2015 |

This is Hugh Mann's natural element: A sleazy space-trucker stop. Whatever we do, bring him along. Just don't use the public restroom.

Hugh got healed during the jump, should be good to go there. We just can't let him take another or he dies. Go to the truck stop and barter Bijou eye gems for fuel, booze, and hookers.

Didn't read your post correctly, yeah he's still good to go as long as he doesn't get hit again. Saint Isaias Boner fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Nov 5, 2015 |

By the way can we get a human/catte bestiary entries as well as the mutations table? Kinda missed both of those, would be nice to know more.

A night on the town with Hugh seems like the soundest move at this point. If there is time, give the corpse of Donald Plover a full military funeral in the dankest restroom toilet - procession, honour guard, the works. The resulting confusion may be enough for us to skive off without paying for fuel.

The Supergalactic is by far the best ship in the galaxy, even without an AI. Whereas all the other ships need people with actual abilities and skills to control them, the Supergalactic is simple enough for a drunk crocodile to pilot. Don't be seduced by big titty holograms on the other ships, they're just marketing tools designed to steal your personal information, serve you advertising and trick you into using worthless search engines.DmitriX posted:By the way can we get a human/catte bestiary entries as well as the mutations table? Here's the Catte one:  Human one will be a little later, I'll have it ready for when we encounter them (which we probably should soon at the rate we're going). Mutation and panic jump tables are on the same page so I'll try to have those scanned in the next day or two since both of those things might be relevant. Update Yesterday's page   We're going in. Most of you naturally want truckstop hookers and blackjack but there's a small detail that we need to deal with first (198)  The detail: we're broke. Turning to 278:  We can offload some of our items (or hull) in return for goods and services. Since the thread wants to avail itself of truckstop services we'll need to buy at least one unit of Walkin' Round Money. Here's all our stuff:            I confirmed with the 2FF forums that it's fine to mix ballast and hull points, so we could sell 1 HULL and the gems to get 1 ton of megasterling. I got a week's probation for asking which is pretty lenient by that board's standards. Anyway how do we want to approach this? Sell some stuff and go in, brawl our way in, or leave quietly without making a fuss? If we want to use the shipyard's services, what do we want to sell and what should we buy? It's day 39 so spending any whole days here is very risky. We can get away if we jump on day 40, but it will involve a panic jump. Still, maybe we want to encounter the Threshers here? Here's the manifest. No changes since last time. Next update: gambling and hookers (probably)

I'm willing to go with anyone's halfway intelligent vote, but we should sell of the Haldian slaves at least, they're kinda crap and taking up space. Oh, when we get a moment of privacy radio back to our valet and tell him use the psionic amplifier to turn to page 329 and glean the override codes so we can loot the station's treasury.

Are hookers an aquirable item card? Like, can we just kidnap some hookers and keep them on the ship? Because we should.

I'm pretty sure there is a scanning glitch in there on page 198- i think our officers are supposed to be composing themselves, not composting themselves(which would imply the loss of the entire bridge crew). Otherwise no, not interested in anything.
