Supersensibility. How can it be? The Dragon proceeds exactly where it must, as if it has practiced the fight a hundred times before this first.

This line works far better now that it isn't a roguelike, I must admit.

Brrr. One does end up wondering what the candidate review process for that looks like.

The Bone Road. One executor bears the Dragon, now another, now the first again: death from many points, turning like a pulsar, and you cannot find one body to kill."


If I'm understanding the interaction here right, from here on out I dub the Map Screen "The Bone Road."

Also, you can use your own names in-game: Navigate to the Dying Sun folder, dyingSun_Data > StreamingAssets > callsigns. As such, I'll take submitted callsigns for the following classes of vessel: Interceptors, Destroyers and Frigates. Include your class and callsign, and be aware that Frigates are rarer than Destroyers which are rarer than Interceptors.

As mentioned in the last thread, you literally got me back in an Interceptor cockpit, so I'll offer myself up as "Manxome Bromide" as an Interceptor pilot, and with INV Bandersnatch and INV Jabberwock for Destroyer and Frigate respectively.

You cannot warp out if members of your fleet have disabled engines, and you cannot warp out if your path is obstructed.

Do engines self-repair over time, or are you expected to go mercy-kill them on the way out?

Some of those ending choices become more interesting in the light of those handful of Codex entries (III and V-2, in particular0 that imply the Dragon's condition is not wholly voluntary.

That was definitely worth the trip. Thanks for taking us along for that, and I'm actually impressed the VR capture worked as well here as it did. Also, um, thanks for the shout-out, JamieTheD, I'm glad that left an impression! :)

I see you've already charged onwards to your next project: good luck!
