New players are always welcome as usual.


Faction suggested name

HAX

>>34092216
I'm down to spend 200-225 creds to improve our fleet, quality over quantity.

100 cred to Mal if we didn't pay you already also if you need any specific hardware or a sexy AI chick with a some big ass hard drives if you know what I'm saying ;) or supplies let us know.

Then it's time to get back to exploring!

>>34092295

I'll vote for HAX.

So, conference of heroes and notable crew. What do you guys suggest we do with our newfound riches? (Including the pirates, Commander, Alicia, sponsor)

>>34092489
Don't forget our diplomat!

>>34092295

Mal, do you want a share of the credits/tech we got?

>>34092554
Our Diplomat Extraordinaire, indeed him too.

>>34092556
Sure busy unloading the stuff I had at the wild world anyway.

>>34092590
Its a she and it was due to-

nevermind.

>>34092489
Alicia has long since left.

>>34092613

How much do you feel would be fair? We already intend to let you analyze all of the tech we received if you so desire, but you've been an invaluable asset and had a huge hand in this deal so we want to make sure you get satisfactorily rewarded.

>>34092613
New to this and on a tablet.
But will join in

>>34092690
Whatever your willing to grant me. As for tech analyzing...that will take some serious time. Especially considering potential countermeasures and lack of proper equipment/facilities...then again.

Hm...yes i can do that instead.

"OH MAL I HEARD THAT!"

oh damn it.

>>34092843
Welcome.

Hope you don't mind if these threads end up a bit slow and a lot confusing, but don't worry most of us don't know what we're doing either, except for a select few. These theads usually last for days on end.

>>34092861

Would 100 credits being transferred directly and exclusively to you be adequate compensation?

>>34092883
Threads are slow due to consensus forming slowly and me not being the fastest writer out there.

At least i do sometimes include writefaggotry during luls though.

Also I am gonna have to change my schedule around games will no longer be offered tuesday and thursday because I am now busy as fuck on those days starting next week.

Games will however be moved to....well have yet to determine exactly what.

Weekends are likely a no go as players and I both tend to have lives.

Which leaves mondays, wednesdays, and fridays.

Would do mondays and wednesdays problem is I have to get up early in the morning. Fridays are sorta attached to weekends...

Alas I have ideas but have yet figure out which is best.

>>34092947
That will be fine.

>>34093002
>Threads are slow due to consensus forming slowly
Yeah, it's. . .hard for me at least to figure out even the most basic action we should do. We have a lot of longterm plans bit little shortterm goals.

If a smart anon (or anyone else) could at least make a "To-Do" list to focus on that'd make things a whole lot easier.

>Also I am gonna have to change my schedule around games will no longer be offered tuesday and thursday because I am now busy as fuck on those days starting next week.
Oh no. . .oh god no

Welp. That fucking sucks for this one, because I already did my schedule for the next semester, dammit.

>>34093170
There is just no way I can run those days anymore anon as is I am trying to figure out how to make it work. Had to take 5 classes and i have to somehow stay afloat for like a month afterwards without getting no cash for shit due to paper mix ups. I is having a real bad day.

>>34093287
Will have new schedule by thursday.

Gonna have to make this work somehow...looking like I am gonna have to make some sacrifices. If only I could have avoided 5 classes this semester.

>>34092489
>>34093287
Genie, can we get the conference of Heroes up so we can get some good goals laid out?

To figure out what we should do for the shortwhile

>>34092861
>Especially considering potential countermeasures and lack of proper equipment/facilities
"We've been wanting to get those for ages MAL, we asked last time if we could buy them but apparently it's too much of a hassle to buy them, we'd have to figure it out on our own.

We also asked our scientists/cultists if they could at least use some credits TO help figure out such methods, any update on that? We're no scientist ourselves but we need those countermeasures."

>>34093462
You have only like two heroes both of whom are a father daughter combo.

not sure what you expect from them exactly besides KILL ALL THE ALIENS AND HUMANITY FUCK YEAH.

>>34093509
Credits can indeed be burned to help with it a bit.

>>34093676
That's where the Diplomancer comes in, he'd be the voice of reason.

>>34093721
And being a Diplomancer, not even they could deny his words and logic.

Plus, he'd know the disposition of the locals, and how to act around them to get what we need.

>>34093676
How many Credits do our scientists/Cultist think is appropriate?

>>34093170
Still like my plan of buyin a kick ass hub and making a drone army. Try holding up in system 4 or 2.

(Had so much more written then my phone said nope.)

>>34093287
What can the factory we got do?

I'm hoping we can buy plans to make fighters, bomber and mining drones. We do have the contagion gear, but best to wait.

>>34093757
>Still like my plan of buyin a kick ass hub and making a drone army.
Yeah, even smartanon agrees, but we need to set ourselves a stable base of operations and get that colony up for backup.

Maybe we can do the drones first or right away? I dunno.

>>34093756
By the way she is the captain's daughter.

>>34093827
Alisha is the Commanders daughter.

The Diplomancer is another woman altogether I believe.

>>34093756
>>34093721

>>34093676
Does the diplomat have any sage words of advice?

>>34093756
>>34093756
hm...do i like keep writing characters in a way where their sex is mistaken or something?

Never realized I could write such excellent traps...

>>34093850
The so called diplomancer and commander's daughter are the same person.

>>34094011
Suggest purchasing top of the line specced gear. Problem is we don't possess the connections needed to get the superb stuff we would be stuck with the mere good and even then it would be most costly.

>>34094216
DON'T MAKE FUN OF MY LACK OF GENDER SPECIFIC PRONOUN STRICTNESS.

Wait, so Captain Alisha Zarkh isn't the captains daughter then?

Huh, looking at it the Diplomats last name and the commanders are the same. Guess that was a mixup on my part then.

>>34094216
I don't suppose we can do jobs or throw a few credits here and there to get some connections.

Also would 50 credits be enough for our scientists/cultists to get to work developing some countermeasures and facilities?

>>34093826
We should go search for a suitable (nice, out of the way, hidden world preferably with environmental dangers) to establish a colony on. After we find it we go purchase specially suited colonization, stealth, and defensive equipment. Then we establish the hidden/secret colony and lay down all of our super-secret manufacturing equipment (and other stuff that is suitable to have not with us on site).

But first, we acquire decontam equipment and we get that colony fleet we discovered under our control.

Rolled 14 (1d100)

>>34094378
Got it. Sooo.

Action 1
Set to aquiring decontamination equimpent as well as equipment to analyze the biocontagion on the colony fleet. Once we know what we're dealing with, we'll send in the bots and non-organics to cleanse the ships.

If we need any special equipment, have the Diplomat attempt to figure out a way to purchase them, otherwise have the Scientists/Cultists figure it out, but they can purchase equipment to if need be.
Spend 50 Credits on this.

Action 2
Givel MAL his 100 credits as was fair. If he needs help, we'll help him otherwise stay away if he asks not to intervene.

Slow down everybody, we need to do this one thing at a time.

first we need to buy more ships.
Can we please get a list of what Is locally available and prices?

Then we decide where to settle.

Agreed?

Rolled 52 (1d100)

>>34094518
I can vote for this. I wanted to go after the contaminated fleet more than any other hook.

>>34094553
Aquiring the ships and getting a ground base seems to be the prevailing consensus. It's getting there without cocking it up that's the hurdle.

>>34094378
Stealth gear is you gonna cry like little bitch level expensive especially for something that size.

>>34094553
You have to find a place willing to sell first. According the pirates the only places selling are rusted hunks on trash worlds and sorry ships at pirate centrals. You want good ships your gonna have to find a ship construction yard which are few and far between due to limitations involving faster then light travel limited sources.

Why do we have to buy equipment that we already had?>>34094518

Was the stuff I got from SS not contagion equipment?

By the way what can the SS factory do and how long in the contract with the moon 8 people? (Buying 100 for 1 credit.)

>>34096222
You're not really explaining how just because we have to remember to put dice in the field and we see what dice we rolled, changes anything.

>>34096288
We have a contagion facility w/airlock on our mothership, but I don't know if it can fit spaceships.

Rolled 59 (1d100)

>>34096308
problem is its a pain to remember.

Factory specializes in dealing with the exotic while the moon 8 people contract is permanent that price.

>>34096330
In the docking area yes it can fit space ships...otherwise not really.

>>34096005
We successfully stopped by the moon 8 grabbing bunch of recruits for cheap. Meanwhile we made an encrypted transmission along with frequency alerting our merc forces about whats going on and where were headed as we as rendezvous location for when their free.

meanwhile we made sure to do some final recruiting before vanishing from this area. In that regard we were able to acquire some colonists, paramilitary, and even pirates who took up our cause.

>>34097580
I wanted them too, but we have long since left them behind. They likely would have been more trouble than they were worth anyways. There are plenty of things to capitalize on around here.

I would prefer to pay for our ships though. New is always better than used, and we need high end stuff, not scavenged pirate crap.

>>34097642
The Bio-contaminated ships earlier.

>>34097666
MAL's ship was "Scavenged Pirate Crap" we found. Never presume what is unsuspecting is nothing. At least even if we don't get ships, anti-biocontagions will be important when we fight aliens who likely use the stuff as one of their main forms of weaponry.

We don't have to send our whole fleet either, perhaps an expeditionary crew to at least see what is there once they can clear out the place.

>>34097736
Yeah probably not a good idea to go back for those. But we can buy new ones with money and we got tech from SS to help.

>>34097736
If your so concerned about alien bio weaponry, how about we continue work on reverse engineering the alien ship we found?

>>34097766
Fine, hopefully down the road we can at least send somenone to poke in and see what's inside that mystery box before someone else nicks em.

But that's free money/ships we'd be throwing away if we don't at least send someone to check if they're still there when we do get anti-biocontagions (a necessary we will need in the future if we expect to fight aliens).

Guess we'll have to explore this sector for good places to colonize, and then find someone selling the stuff we need to colonize it.

Damn shame there was some interesting stuff and a myriad of wealtht o be had in the last sector. In the longrun if we build up our strength we might be large enough to do multiple system operations. But that's as far away a goal as the otherside of the Galaxy right now.

>>34097878
That's EXACTLY what we were doing. We can't work on it any further without getting necessary countermeasures and contaiment equipment, and we couldn't get those without aquiring the necessary things to research them.

We were purchasing them last sector when that damned nat1 fucked it up.

>>34097539
Mizar sat there thinking about...something can't recall what exactly only that a voice inside the head finally figured something out. Looking down Mizar saw the odd device that allowed comunication in an anonymous way shit it even randomized the voices going through it...now...containment gear and equipment for research.

Now that you DO recall. Shit you even know how to get the BLACK tier shit from your times with dealing with the supers. Damn good stuff to have with never knowing what fucked up shit their tech could unleash. Best you can among humanity otherwise its the alien for yous.

In that regard...it was suppose to focus on alien tech though...while even black tier containment for super technique can have its bad moments. Your not sure how well it can handle alien tech...

but then you REMEMBERED that those contacts often had or knew of places dealing in alien tech.

Which meant they would have their known containment vessels figured out. So you being the good guy...er lady you are(fuck you need to remember to check your genitals more often and actually recall the result). So you spliced some wires form MAL's core which was preaching this stuff and was made of SUPERIOR technology to rig up a quantum encrypted message with Super tech breakers mixed into make damn sure they got the message.

After that you waited for the inevtable backlash once it struck their systems...

Seriously though space is huge as balls. Fucking stars and thus star systems are everywhere.

Luckily for humans they are a species that grew up on a heavy world and were one of the rare species who made it space. Especially considering they were in the top 2% of heavy world species.

A heavy world species making it to space alone is amazingly impressive due to the required effort to make it happen. Humans in the galactic stage are rather notorious for being one of those exceptions.

Humans advantage in the galactic stage are the following

Heavy Worlder solo starred
boosted strength
Unholy toughness
Legendary Endurance
Climatic adaption

among others of course. Humanity doesn't have the bullshit that you normally see. When you combine their heavy worlds(which are already avoided) with their ability to adapt to many different environments has led to humans being a scourge upon the stars.

While many aliens tend to fight over habitable worlds humanity rarely has that problem with other aliens. Much to their envy.

Humanity would of been considered the rats of the galaxy if it wasn't for their gestation period and them not being weak sons of bitches even without modification.

Humans are noted to be a popular species to be used militarily even by the alien. Still though they are quite annoyingly fast breeding species, their habit 'problems', and them being so well suited for war has made them quite the popular specimen.

hence why the Combine took interest in them so early on. Rumors persist of continued attempts of partnership among them and others. So far humanity has only really done short term alliances, the odd trade deal, or most often serving as mercs.

That isn't to say there are parts of humanity who have been enslaved by the alien or even willingly joined them.

Oh, well that changes a lot of things.

Damn, now I'm wondering just what the hell was going on above our heads the whole time, if the Megacorps had such extreterrestrial assets, why didn't we seem them more often? Orbital bombardment, fleets of supplies, was the world somehow cut off from space by some strange phenomenon or was there a great never ending battle above our heads just to do those things, and we just never noticed.

Tech difference the Fall fucked everything up. Right now humanity hasn't really hit the 'singularity' which many claimed served as the harbinger. Right now brood wars haven't occurred yet. AI nodes have just become a thing and smarter then human AI mass produced aren't a thing yet. Shit not even jump drives are manufacturable by humanity at large. I could change it I suppose but that would mean the tech level is severely off and its hard to see beyond the singularity. I timed the Fall right around that time so its much easier to relate to. I don't do post singularly because its impossible to see beyond which ruins things. At best I COULD have hot sinks where super AI are stored and easily destroyed in case they go rogue but even that is risky.

>>34101815
Humanity in this setting kept the interest in space and had groups among them who cared not for ethics thus biotech is extremely advanced compared to what were used to. They also have a lot more materials and tech we wouldn't even know about floating around due to them not holding back. So as a matter of fact they are VERY advanced. Fall occurred around the time AI could be manufactured at large and super ones were very VERY carefully watched. Right around that time though thigns went to utter shit. Right now the wars that involved the Brood ancestor only ended awhile ago and humanity's hatred/sense of betrayal is great. The brood has yet to appear but already exists. They have since the humans 'won'.

If I did say this occured after the Fall it would...really fuck things up considering just how much tech was lost forever.

>>34101815
There's that singularity concept again, still trying to wrap my head around it.

But now you're facing the discrepancies beween the level of technology now and the space assets available to that planets megacorps during the postfall world, and yet not being seen nor mentioned in any previous games.

You never mentioned this Brood War thing either, what's up with that?

>>34101887
It was, as you said, only one planet.

One planet out of many others where humanity was born, evolved, and grew into civilization.

The way I see it, that planet in particular perhaps humans were excessively greedy in their thirst for knowledge and power, more than others, dwarfing even that of Earth, Acerbus, and many others at their pinnacle of technosorcery.

But they fucked up, big time, fucked up for all the world to see and took many of their nearby systems with them and much of their achievements lost, but from that moment on it was clear for the rest of humanity, an unbreakable rule that none would dare break without reprecussion. Do. not. do. singularity.

But even with that planets fall, and entire systems even a subsector around them, there were always other planets, other human empires, where degrees of technology survived. Maybe not the great pinnacles that particular planet reached, or the height of the Terran empire, but still able to survive.

So they bided their time, spent countless ages of blood and violence just for the Megacorps to finally be able to regain much of their lost technology to take back into space and reconnect with what was lost and the rest of the Galaxy at large.

Dam I kind of hoped to have gotten more done today. But it seems to have died for the night.

I guess notes wise we need to agree on a faction name (Hax), Mother ship name (Myrmidus , Orion ), How many people we want from the ice colony (I think 4000 with do well to fill the ranks with our 6000 and 2k bandits in sleep.) and fill more lore for the Sponsor/Faction.

Anything else I miss ... I think we are all agreeing on finding a base/planet to call home and then filling up the troops. Cool thing is once we get our homies back from their mission we will have a good number of troops. I guess with the drone building we will need to add more ships to the mix. Then we start down the Alien tech finding and war making.

around the fall world a curtain of debris makes it impossible for anything to come on or out. Even defense installations have problems deploying their payloads to the surface.

The fall btw was so huge it utterly wrecked humanity and the alien after seeing what went down noped NOPED their way out of there. Thanks to humans world selection it wasn't hard to avoid.

As for disabling and dismantling...yes.

Space tech and colonization equipment began to fall apart due to certain lacking effects along with what was either damaged, destroyed, or outright crippled. Fall was so bad as i said before rogue terraformers...went after inhabited worlds.

The resulting carnage of that is quite hard to explain. Luckily the civ still has a ways off due to humanity concentrating its resources elsewhere.

The 'fallen' region btw ended up becoming a hardcore quarantine region. Aliens avoided the place as if it were hell with no riches but misery in its place. Even human survivors avoid it like death itself. For those unfortunate enough to trapped within...well as it turns out hell is pretty hard to escape even for those 'lucky' enough to not be trapped planet side.

>>34102766
I see.

This makes me wonder though, just how /long/ the time had passed when that planet was part of the human interplanetary community till just before the fall.

Did the fall planet develop space tech on it's own and met up with the other human civilizations in space, or did those other civilizations find the fall planet and gift them space technology?

Umbra is already Umbra and not the Ali Family corporation, and if they have reached Megacor status with a spaceflung empire, has already built and conquered the city of Ashad.

Perhaps, like Umbra rising to Megacorp status "in the blink of an eye", as well as Adero by light of their patron, that planet just happens to be full of the most curious, wreckless, and insane humans in the galaxy, explaining why they were the focal point and entirely responsible for the Fall in but such a relatively short time of being in space.

In short, they came, they saw, they wrecked, all faster than two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Nice going guys.

>>34102766
So humans did survive the fall? That kinda makes me feel a little better about utterly failing to fix the apocalypse in post apoc civs also kinda cheapens the whole "apocalypse" thing.. Damn your realism

>>34102954
it is the apocalypse because humanity is utterly fucked and trapped in a special kind of hell that even the most insane/evil of aliens avoid like the plague.

Those 'humans' who supposedly got out?

Enjoy being the bitches of aliens. SURE your not stuck in that hell hole but welcome to a shit hole instead.

>>34102949
HQs for megacorps are based of city, regional, continental, world, galaxy ect. Ashad was Megacorp Umbra's HQ of that world.

Fall planet HAS space tech...kinda its just they can't use it because no one can breach the damned barrier around the planet. Even things coming in from the otherside has a hard time.

As for those responsible for the Fall and focal point...heh.

That isn't true the 'fall architects, bringers ect. are spread all around. The focal points tended to end up 'wastelands' which are spread all over the place.

If you want to see real fucked up you should check out the space post apocalypse that is going on up above. No escape, home is slowly decaying as the void draws ever near, clouds of nanites, and worst.

>>34103079
>Ashad was Megacorp Umbra's HQ of that world.
But that world was the birthplace of Umbra yes?

>>34103079
It's not even just the humans who got out, it's the humans who'd been living there in the first place. Mankin, his sense of Imperialism, all wiped and gone forevermore, and who knows if it will ever recover again.

>>34103079
If they have he space tech we do now, how come self sustainable ecologies are so hard to achieve when we've been doing fine with hyper efficient water and food recycling and energy conservation?

>>34103173
Nigga if you want food in the post apoc you better go raid some farmers.

God help you if you need medicine.

>>34103173
Actually no it wasn't the birth place of Umbra.

>>34103173
The space tech you have now...they don't have it. At best they have bits and pieces.

As for mankind trapped in that hellhole...who knows what will end up happening. If you want that type of game vote for a green growth with space civ. By that time humanity has 'recovered' and 'truly' starts to rebuild.

>>34103248

Are you. . .retconning stuff Genie? Because that's entirely up to you, but still

>>34103289
Hm....this is what happens when I don't differentiate between the 'official' and 'unofficial' along with secret, truthful, or forgotten histories.

Which means i fucked up.

Ashad was where Umbra 'officially' rose up.

Now I am gonna shut up now before I give out more spoilers.

>>34103248
>By that time humanity has 'recovered' and 'truly' starts to rebuild.
I am and still desiring that this current setting be humanity recovering and starting to rebuild, but you're calling the shots here Genie, and in any event it's only a question of fluff not in game mechanics.

>>34103327
>Umbra were ALIEN HUMANS FROM ANOTHER WORLD
Welp, that's pleasantly revealing. Must've been quite ironic their line of CEO's be trapped on that world and not their home planet.

>>34103330
This was voted to be sci fi not post apoc. Due to requests i even had to reuse this particular setting over again before Fall. I COULD make it go that way problem is that would screw up everything I said before by quite a bit.

Old histories for instance like the Arch War? You would more then likely not know about.

Technology would be a LOT more scarce and ramshackle. ect.

I could do that its just the initial votes indicated pure sci fi. the only pure sci fi I can do well is before singularity and even then I tinkered and broke shit to make it work. Hence no space age problems or biotech issues. Suddenly it becomes much more sci fi even with computer tech 'lacking'. Not to mention there are fucking supers, psionics, and magic floating around to help give the odd boost/problem.

Jenny would be around and worst. Remember anons something like her was just on a SINGLE world. Even when things are being renewed...stuff still lurks. There are things much worse then Jenny.

>>34103392
>This was voted to be sci fi not post apoc.
>I could do that its just the initial votes indicated pure sci fi.
I don't see why you consider those preclusive to a specific order. The rerise of humanity after the fall could very well be a Sci-fi world. Empires and nations rise from the ashes of the old all the time, even if those ashes were armageddon.

> the only pure sci fi I can do well is before singularity and even then I tinkered and broke shit to make it work.
Didn't the singularity fail though? Resulting in a massive technological dark age?

>Technology would be a LOT more scarce and ramshackle. ect.
Who's to say it isn't? The technology we have now could be simply the crumbs of what impossibly advanced power humanity had before the fall, and we're only now slowly relearning ourselves, step by step.

>Jenny would be around and worst
Well, she is a god after all.


Really just think of it like 40k, where as this is the "Imperium" stage having recovered from the dark age, it's nothing compared to what godlike power humanity had at the age of technology before the fall and we're even now still rediscovering the technologies from then.

>>34103378
Ever since the Fall there are many so called CEOs. Not even Jenny is the only Umbra CEO on that planet.

Umbra....has a flavorful secret/forgotten history to say the least even by megacorp standards.

>>34103558
As i said before this is pure sci fi as was voted for and the tech I dished out wasn't salvaged. No it was newish top of the line stock. The stuff provided is in no shape or form mere crumbs.

the singularity didn't fail per a say its just that well...there was sabotage and things went to hell before it could really take affect. The farthest it got was manmade hot AI kept in special facilities where they would easily be dealt with. They were just being harnessed went things went horribly wrong.

The tech you have is...very good and I don't have the technological know how to go by a step by step process. Especially of such...advanced stuff.

Jenny is no god and her sway isn't as it appears.

The imperium is a shitty example that is painfully grimderp. I can't really do 40k games all that well the retarded shit eventually gets to me.

>>34103695
>Not even Jenny is the only Umbra CEO on that planet.
Man, why haven't we heard of them? they'd make such great BBEG's, especially if they're able to challenge her power

Hrmph, fine then, be it like that. I'll just be here sticking with my head-notcanon...

Really just wanted the fall to be limited to that one planet, the rest of the galaxy undisturbed and inconsequential beyond the megacorps it spawned.

>>34103695
I bet you could do a xcom one well, I kid (Or am I). But I can see us finding old human tech fun in a way.

>>34103695
>As i said before this is pure sci fi as was voted for and the tech I dished out wasn't salvaged. No it was newish top of the line stock. The stuff provided is in no shape or form mere crumbs.
>The tech you have is...very good and I don't have the technological know how to go by a step by step process. Especially of such...advanced stuff.
Also what I meant was yeah, it's brand new, fresh out of the factory, but comparing it to pre-fall tech would be like comparing a brand new lighter to a fireworks show, the difference in power and abilities being astronomical, such as the ability to construct planets from scratch. But it doesn't matter iI suppose.

>>34103838
>such as the ability to construct planets from scratch
more than that, Pre-fall humanity might have had the ability to construct entire Systems from scratch. Imagine being able to shore up a vulnerable quadrant from alien invasion by igniting a star and surrounding it with fabricated fortress planets?

That would be humanity before the fall, gods walking, until someone opened up pandora's box and it all fell apart.

>>34103838
Constructing a planet isn't actually all that hard or complicated it just takes awhile. It IS Pre Fall tech just a bit on the older/outdated side compared to what your used to.

Plasma was just getting to tank size where your familiar with it being hand held.

>>34103869
Suns ain't so easy to make compared to a planet but is possible and actually much faster if you got the stuff.

Seriously though when did i ever bring up Post Fall humanity being able to create entire star systems?

Rolled 67 (1d100)

>>34103892
A good thing about your setting is its malleable to where players seem to enjoy adding their own little piece to it. Sometimes you put your foot down, but othertimes someone makes a wild claim and you end up proving them right.

>>34103960
Pretty much this.

No one but Genie ever has all the pieces of the puzzle at once, not even the box cover, so I guess I just try to slip in a piece of my own to fill the void where I can and hope it fits.

Did we die while I wasn't looking?

>>34104548
Nope. Just a little shaken by a nat1 and had to bail the system, but we're alive.

>>34104548
Tried to purchase some equipment for proper containment/countermeasures so we can more safely reverse engineerg tech and then cure the biocontagions. Roleld nat1 and we have armies descending on us. Rolled syncrho 99 to jump to another system, where we find out our twisted self had the connections for this shit all along.

Now we're just looking for a new place to colonize. Found a nice ice planet hidden by asteroids near the the edge of a system, perfect place to set up a hidden base but alas, our colonization technologies aren't up to speed for Ice planets, or anything else in the system. So we are now exploring for new systems to set up a base in.

>>34104590

Mmkay, based on the summary provided, what we need to do is make a bulk purchase of more advanced colonization equipment. The purchase ought to include stuff for ice worlds, volcanic worlds, and other shit too. That way the fucker who stole our do$h can't look at the transaction and know to look for all of our hyper-advanced factory equipment on an ice world (we have the spare money, after all, and we'll probably find a use for the rest of it anyway). Preferably we'd find some way to make sure whoever intercepted our payments untraceably can't locate any dead drops we arrange or anything like that...but that may not be possible. We'll also need some digging vehicles or to acquire schematics for some digging bots so that we can hide the colony underground because stealth tech is so damn expensive.

There's other stuff, but I'm too tired to remember. Also, take all this with a grain of salt because my last suggestion had a nat1 rolled on it and got us in this position...

>>34104984

Having read some more but not quite the whole thread...the ice world looks even more perfect...it even has environmental hazards to discourage people from looking/invading it.

Morning bump

Bumps in SPAAACE

>>34104984
We have connections with the megacorp we did a job for. Maybe we can use the account with them. Let just not buy anything to crazy. The main thing we need is the tech for toxic worlds. We can then use the desert as a starting point. The desert has good resources and the ice has poor. But thinking we try exploring one more time to see what else there is around here.

I still would like to see about taking the Alien defense station.

>>34109972

If we leave marks of mining/resource harvesting anywhere on the planets in-system then the system becomes unusable as a secret base. The asteroid field would be fine though, because no one should be able to detect that there've recently been asteroids removed from the belt!

Taking over the alien defense station would be useful, especially if we want to establish a base here.

>>34112143
Well that's why we mine inside the base. But move the dirt could be a problem. Maybe the SS BLACK Processing Deluxe Station or Mega Mashing Maw could help with that.

By the way we have the black tech level lab. ( SS REDACTED Research Facility Deluxe Package and the SS REDACTED BLACK Type A Containment Deluxe Package. ) So why do we need to buy more lab stuff? I could see us needing something for the alien's stuff, But we made the bay for their tech.

I'm beginning to think we need to send some time looking the stuff we got over. Before we buy more things we may not need.

>>34112350

What are you talking about, buying more lab stuff? I only ever suggesting purchasing more advanced colonization equipment. That aside though, I don't think we have either of those deployed/integrated in our mothership.

>>34112579
I meant it to the group as a whole, Sorry for the mix up. It was something I think we never talked about from this action >>34094518. Godzilla said something >>34096330 and MAL then said it could fit ships >>34096538. But otherwise that was it (I think).

O well in the long run it made us move and we got troops out of it. That is if we agree on the amount we pick up. Genie never took the credits we lost out as well.

>>34112350

I'm pretty sire that the Mega Mashing Maw is for space vessels.

>>34113116
We are never going to agree on what tech we have and what we think it does if genie even knows
We need to experiment and try to use some of our tech. I would like to start with the mashing maw and pour pipes, just because I want to start generating income with our ship.

>>34113150
I believe so as well. But it could be used to get rid of evidence of us being on a planet, Like moving the dirt.

>>34113721
Fair, But I agree with smart anon. We should find a base to get things started. Maybe we can mess with the SS Exotic Armory Packaged Deluxe, It could have armor for toxic worlds.

It sucks that we didn't get any robot tech for drones.

>>34114172
I'm not happy with the system we found, but I do insist we set up a base too

Now we do have the two mining packages that if I am not mistaken are basically "pre fab mines" I can't into notes but one was for gas and one was for solids.

I want to find a system to colonize with a valuable asteroid field, a good gas cloud to mine AND a NICE world to colonize, none of this ice/desert/death shit. We are rich, we can afford to take our time and find the right system.

We also need to stay on the lookout for ships for sale

>>34114696
That would be nice. But we shouldn't wait to long we need an army to protect our shit. We could do a basic set up and gather for a bit while we look for contacts to trade with.

Luckily our faction is on a mission for humanity. We will crush the alien threat or die trying. Be it work with pirates or Unchecked AI's. We are all in it together. We are a team of thinkers, fighters, bots, colonist and pirates. We got the people now we need the ships, drones, tech and support.

>>34115608
Part of me wants to contact umbra... They know about and love the fact we fucked SS. Umbra is the leader in stealth technology. We need to purchase a very high end stealth field from them we do have some SS redacted tech we can trade once we get good enough stealth we kinda won't need an army..

Food for thought.

>>34116288
Hrm, I vaguely recall us making a deal with Adero not to associate with them in exchange for laser lance cannons and powerful engines, but we could always work on a loophole around that possibly by getting a third party to get what we need, or just outright betraying them.

>>34116515
Out right betrayal will work if we side with umbra, the other corps can't exact vengeance on us if they can't find us..

>>34114696

>I want to find a system to colonize with a valuable asteroid field
Outer system detected asteroid field containing ludicrous amount of resources.
>A good gas cloud to mine
Inner system contains a mighty plume of dust obscuring the sun's light. (Gas mining would usually be done to gas giants though, which we've encountered strangely few of)
>and a nice world to colonize
Given, but a nice world is a target world that people will investigate when they see it. Ice worlds are damn near useless for almost everything, and this one is in the outer system among an asteroid belt so it's even less likely to be investigated. Perfect for a hidden base that we can set up all of our production facilities at so that they're not taking up all the living room in our mothership.

Shit, we could even rig up that alien planetary defense station to watch over it while still seeming abandoned.

>>34116288

What makes you think it was Umbra that contacted us and loved that we fucked SS?

>>34116615
Yeah, that too.

Then again, remember the last time we sided with Umbra? Eugh,

>>34116653
There's also this.

>>34116616
Ok, you may be right, but I'm not sold on the ice world, especially if it requires we buy additional resources to live there. flashbacks to the never ending winter in the beginning of the bloodsnows... I'm scared of snow monsters guys..

>>34099543
This is the post right?

Maybe we should look at the
>bio sphere
> volcanic
Before we decide?

>>34116653
Umbra sent us a damned trophy for bringing so much asspain to the SS. Along with a thank you note.

>>34116777
Still need to get Toxic Air filters for Biosphere and better stuff to survive volcanic, but they are also possibilities.

Aw come on, Bloodsnow was fun, and besides we no longer suffer the same issues of survival and sustenance that plagued the post apoc civs.

>>34116777

All the biospheres are toxic. The Ice World lacks a biosphere (at least according to rudimentary scans) which means that, at this moment, we think there are no ice monsters.

We'll require additional environment-specialized equipment along with biological hazard specialized equipment if we want to live on any of the other planets.

We ought to scan the biosphere-having planets before we set anything up in this system though, to make sure there aren't space-faring aliens hiding in them somewhere.

>>34116857
Where'd the note say "Umbra" again?

>>34116859
Do we? The biosphere seems like the best place to go. I don't remember anything about needing air filters, but like delim said>>34114172 the exotic armory probably has power armor for just this sort of situation.

>>34116930

Of course, Genie has dropped hints that there's maybe something better nearby. The system that had shittons of radiation bursts going on would be fantastic for a hidden base...if we could manage to establish one there in the first place.

We should also consider just generally making a hub for our growing pirate forces and such.

So much to do, so little time before we inevitably fuck up and die...

>>34116930
None the less the biosphere has the most appeal if we want a living colony. I would check to make sure none of our current tech can be applied to fix the toxicity problem

And as far as the note? It had their logo and said some shit like "the other sun", c'mon man don't be this pedantic.

Desert has toxic air too

>>34117127
I guess that eliminates every option, I think we should keep exploring. we will find another wild world some day

>>34117098

The biosphere has the least appeal if we want a living colony (which we don't really, not at this point). Better to live in domed hab-units on an airless moon than to live in domed hab-units somewhere that has a biosphere and toxic air.

>>34117181
That's what we're doing right now, I think. Isn't that consensus?

>>34117183
You might be right. For lack of data and lack of appeal I say we move on from this system, I don't like the giant alien ship or the radiation anyways.

Maybe we can go collect the 4 downed alien ships first...

>>34117240

We're exploring some more and also trying/considering to find someone/somehow to purchase some more advanced colonization equipment (if only we'd been able to get that colonization fleet up and running again...).

>>34117094
I really feel we will will not mess up this one. We hit a 1 and we did the right thing and got the hell out. We are still quite strong and well set up. We just need to keep using our skills and team mates in the right way.

We got a team, We got a good group of heroes ( Twisted Genius, Commander, AI MAL and a Diplomat.) and we got great tech. We have the team with fits us as a group. Lets also not forget the pirates Rogue Psychic, Captain Grimjoy and Mad Man Mason.

Right now we have resource tech, black level tech, high number of troops and good heroes, That we each have something we can work off of. Commander with our tactical anons, Diplomat for the sliver anon and I'm sure the Godzilla's economics knowledge will help as well. Then our pirate friends for the times when we want to just steal shit or make the markets work for us. Granted I think our people would be happier stealing and fighting the aliens.

Plentiful in exotic materials and radioactive.

has 3 moons

Good thing we don't do exploring half assed. But what to do with all the alien contacts. I guess we can hope some can be worked with, that is if the crew doesn't mind, and human miners (could be new allies).

MAL, what is the expense of space exploration that we're not noticing but is going to bite us in the ass eventually?

>>34121046
Well yeah but how do we go about it is what I'm thinking about.

As starters see if any of the systems we found will be of use for the base camp, Next contact the humans (Carefully, They could be a megacorp after us.), Then study them while we build up troops and agree on the amount we bought (Still voting 4000). Then after all of that see if we can make false alliances to weaken the aliens and go from there.

>>34121197

Eh, seeing who the humans are is definitely the first step. Preferably with Mal's ghost ship intercepting transmissions and analyzing them to verify an identity (after all, it's only been 7 turns since we fled and we don't know exactly how much interest we stirred up or if they decided to put out a bounty for information on us. Also, how many wandering groups of nomads with a mothership can there be around here?).

>>34120414
Of those 3 moons all are plentiful in resources with one being ice, temperate, and volcanic. Sadly all are toxic and low gravity.

Asteroid belt with plentiful resources.

Ice world massive high gravity with moderate atmosphere but toxic to humans is utterly rich in resources. Has one barren moon with resources.

Asteroid cluster plentiful resources.

Another ice world much like the other but with even MOAR resources then the last also has plentiful unknown alien ruins.

In the outer reach is a TITANIC gas giant which could of been damn close to becoming its own sun even fucker is so huge. It has 12 moons none are habitable but are an odd mixture of barren, ice, temperate, and volcanic. Resources among those moons are pretty hit and miss from initial scans.

spaceship graveyard in a cloud of gases/dust with some sort of gravity anomaly.

Scans indicate two Combine vessels with 2 unknown alien ships. Only one combine vessel might be possible to salvage while the others are shattered husks.

Cool number updated. I believe there is 2k bandits on ice to still deal with, Alien artifacts to study and humans to talk to.

Thinking this turn we catalog the tech and items we got.

"MAL do we pick any of the factions communications up?"

If we don't thinking we spend MAL's free action to study the humans.

I'm having a really hard time visualizing these systems and making sure I'm not confusing them.

Could you make a simple, basic map of them? It's as easy as rings around a star, with some brown paintspray for asteroids, and colored circles for ice, volanic, temperate. (blue, red, green, respective). Maybe some light green paintspray to indicate toxic air.

>>34121956

Bore the markings...?

Is this a new system or was this the last system we were in with the graveyard? I'm gonna make a map of these star systems myself if I need to.

We will need to know if we can trust them. Then we can send in the Diplomat for talks. ( I really hope we can. We need some drones. )

Or does any one in the crew think we should do it differently?

>>34122276
Different system

Where was this?

>>34122451
Different system you leaped away. It was in the system highly inhabited by unknown xenos. Those ones were of a different kind.

>>34122371
I assumed so with the tech and parts needed to make them. We got resources we can gather and Megacorp tech to help, ships can do just as nicely. We even got a robotics bay and labs to make chips in. Just need to find metals, semiconductors, power sources and plans.

Rolled 38 (1d100)

>Basic 1
Catalog and study the tech we got from SS. See what it's all supposed to do, what's in the packages exactly, if they're supposed to be deployed in/on ships, what they're compatible with, etc.

>Basic 2 (Synchro free action)
Further examine everything in the last system we visited.

I would rather focus on the first thing, but vote. Gonna work on a map for a bit, hope I get things right.

>>34122604
Aw I wanted to see what the artifacts could do. I can agree that system probably has a good place for a base. I guess you wanted to get a base first before we talk to the humans?

>>34122674
I want a base first too; I like

>large/dense desert world average gravity, thin but deadly atmosphere. Utterly rich in resources. Two barren moons.
Or
>Small temperate world low gravity, thin atmosphere but pure. Liquid water and major concentration of industrial metals. one barren moon.

Leaning more towards the small temperate one.

>>34122754
the lack of gravity will fuck humans up wonderfully. As it turns out humanity can adapt much better to heavier gravity then lighter. Considering they are such a heavy world species this is an interesting 'drawback'.

>>34122775
We got alien artifacts from the 2nd system in the lost area we where at. As well as samples and mild info from the ruins before we sold the system info.

>>34122820
Ooh, 99. I'm not sure if the usual synchro rules apply here though.

>>34122825
The one fucking workable world... Of course WE can't use it..

>>34122870
If we ever make/get an AI hub I'm sure we could get the bots to do it.

>>34122900
I liked that world because it seemed conducive or human life. Now Maybe not. Metals are cool and all, but our bots can mine much more difficult worlds than that.

>>34122963
Well if we get the tech we can just planet crack it or save if you a low gravity ally in need of a new base.

... or we make the planet spin faster.

>>34123010
With so many planets to pick from, I feel obligated to find a perfect one. Now I'm thinking we settle for a safe one with a shit atmosphere and lots of resources.

>>34122775
oh damn you anon and being third roll.

>>34122604
the gravity anomaly seems to be focused on the surviving alien ship.

The twelve moons are all varying levels of toxic or barren. The resources also vary by quite a bit but there are noteworthy concentrations with stuff like exotics even.

the vast ice world is almost stupidly rich in resources with plentiful concentration of industrial metals, major riches, some radioactives, and plentiful exotic materials.

The three moons around tainted cool world are all varying levels of rich. The cool world itself has plenty of radioactive and exotic materials with a sustainable amount of riches.

The other two moons besides the verdant desert world are pretty empty except for some trapped water on the volcanic world and some resources/cache of superior technology on the barren moon.

the gas giant reason for having so little 'gravity' is due to the interaction of it with the local sun and moons/worlds. It has formed a devastating gravity rip tide that can trap or even tear ships apart. a VERY nasty hazard for jumps and a real pain to navigate.

>>34123097
I was surprised how well the verdant desert world came out. It holds quite a lot of painful potential.

>>34122855
actions is separated so nope sorry.

>>34122870
If it makes you feel any better the desert would is pretty big and you can just jack the water from the other. So the gravity is a bit heavy but just fine for humans.

Is there still a thread survival bonus?

>>34123158
as for the black tech...well we REALLY couldn't understand it and Mizar FREAKED out when we tried to crack open the black box.

Not to mention what we DID saw of the black tech we couldn't make heads or tails of the shit. Like at all Mizar meanwhile seemed to act as if it was that one's big bad bloody black birthday.

Mega Mashing Maw has been installed upon our own ship after we tore the living shit out of/gutted/upgraded the previous one. The thing is nasty capable of taking chomps out of entire moons.

The pissed pouring pipes meanwhile are basically the liquid/gas equivalent except for the solid/plasma that is mega maw.

The stations are just that....pre packaged stations that when used will build themselves up as an entire intact top of the line station. Assembly not required. We couldn't risk finding out much more lest we break or interfere with something important. With the way they are compacted and so complex EVERYTHING it seems when its like that is important as Mizar explained and i confirmed. It also happens to be an excellent way to make sure you can't reverse engineer it.

The redacted research facility package..will take up a TON of room when unpackaged. So right now we can't use it while we CAN fit it in the mothership it would take up a LOT of room even by mothership standards that shit ain't cheap, but unlike any other ships at least we can actually fit it without gutting the ship in question in the process.
SS Redacted Spec Ops Gear is the TOP of the line TOP SECRET equipment used by SS personnel during their black operations. Suffice to say the FULL might of the SS megacorp might went into this gear so it really IS something else and just a single component would be an utter NIGHTMARE to crack and we ain't even talking intact items. Shit would even give Umbra problems and be fun for a super.

So yeah...

The SS Armory package is a possible ship component or colonial upgrade providing the ENTIRE SS exotics munitions and armaments along with packaging/maintenance/care/reloading/repair. Its an armory plain and simple of the exotics plain and simple.

Want laser grenade?
Plasma Spewer?
Ionic Hand Cannon?
Scrap Shredder?
Personnel Energy Shields?
Absorbent almighty armor?

It has all of that and MORE.


The factory facility meanwhile...requires an UNGODLY amount of energy to make it work but if you can provide it well...materials processing and recycling. Exotic dangerous/unstable treatments WONT be a problem. You will be able to squeeze so much juice out of a single metal bar you'll make it sweat blood and feel sorry for itself and future 'children' even.

Kicker is though this facility has EVERYTHING and can treat EVERYTHING exotic while making it ALL cry tears of blood with its processing, treatment, and production.

This Factory is the very incarnate of SS style mega greed in form.

T3S Crack Cannon is a weapon...that isn't suppose to quite exist due to it being a literal super weapon WITHOUT the bloody BLACK buster rounds used. This particular model is an experimental variant fresh from SS and specially modified. Its a literal one of kind weapon capable of if rumors are true can even crack open a star.

SS REDACTED BLACK BOX

UNKNOWN. We were unable to see open the box...examining it though indicates the highest level of security/countermeasure. With the very thing being the INCARNATE of Black tier technology with all the redacted tech that could be shoved into it in order to deal.

For all intents and purposes though it just seems to be a black box...
