Another Succession game

[RPC]

Ok, I'm just messing around with FF's save (I think Autohummer is taking a turn) but I accidentally docked without a military ID and deeeeeerp.
Bug since the list goes waaay to far -- past the allowed space even.

I forgot to mention: keep the damaged Nanodao X cannon, it deals generic damage and we have plenty of ammo.

[Autohummer]

I think I may have dumped the Nanodao X out already.... Also, the CW is annoying for the Art II.

Currently exploring a new system.

[Autohummer]

Handing my turn over.

To begin, I have commerced the exploration of a new system of Babbage, easily accessible from St. Katherine's Star without having to endure the daunting task of crossing Hunfeld:


I shot down a Sung Dragon Slaver 2:


They should call this system "Cabbage" instead:


I headed to the red sun of the system for a quick recharge:


The local Ares didn't appreciate my stealing of their precious solar energy and proceeded to pester me. Or in this case, some insurance salesmen who decided to set up shop where a suntan is only an airlock away:


Oh, Shipwright! SHIPWRIGHT! ShIpWrIgHt! sHiPwRiGhT! I should write thou an sonnet one day:


Lots of Drawg Behemoth wrecks here. I suspect they outnumber the lowly raiders by 10-1:


Accidentally pissed off a BM Hawking, which proceeded to shoot at me without result until it got bored and went away:


Step 1, find a Ranx Dreadnought:


Step 2, ???

Step 3, Profit:


After christening the new Ranx Dreadnought, I felt it was time to face the Danu, and repay them to their previous "rustling of my jimmies":


I started with their bases, hoping it would attract the big mothership:


The loot was rather... underwhelming:


Eventually, the mothership came.

Attempt #1, disintegrated the wreck:


Attempt # 6, WRECK INTACT! I AM TEH 1337!:


After taking the ~1200 HP armour for myself, I decided it would be a good time to challenge the herd of Phobii here:


This didn't go well. So I decided to look for useful goods from the nearby BM shipyards, but accidentally pissed it off.

There is a way to un-piss-off it, though, firstly, you must destroy the station. Make it look like an unfortunate accident by shooting it to ~90% damage, and flying closely to the station so that the Hawking swarm finishes their job.

Then the respawn covoy arrives (The ship that deployed the virtual respawn station destroyed itself and the VRS when demolishing the old station's wreck, it's targeted here):


Lo and behold, a new, friendly BM station happy to do business with you (The wrecked virtual respawn station never despawned):


In another system, I came across this chap, before being "accidentally shattered by an Ares pilgrim." Bloody Ares reading too much magical girl manga casting spells on a whim! You are not a magical girl! This is not an magical girl anime! This is Transcendence! Casting spells blindly costs lives and game progress! I hereby declare a manga embargo on the Ares Orthodoxy until they are civilized enough to responsibly handle the the power and magnificence of Japanese popular culture!:


I resumed, and shot down a Worldship, which proceed to launch a Defender when destroyed, like a Russian doll. For completion sake they should go down to the fighter:


The system after this is heavily embattled. I was welcomed by paperships duking it out with Phobbi the moment I gated in.

The Danu also loved the place:


I also loved the Danu's presence:


Purchase code derp:


Sale code derp:


Welcome to Ironbottom Sound.... The wrecks of the many battles around the system drift here by the force of gravity of the main Sun. However, the sun's effects weren't strong nor far enough to clear these wrecks, resulting in an immense field of dead ships:






The lone Wolfen intently shooting at its enemy, not knowing that the enemy was long a dead husk. Are our lives no different, striving our all our years on an empty goal?:


A Gaian Processor lies wreck in front of a Ringer shipyard, its hull torn by many positron lancers:


I bought this off the local Teraton, in addition to an inertialess drive:


Danu:


Danu:


More Danu:


I ended the trip by hauling the loot back to St. Katharine's Star to upgrade the fleet. Before leaving the game I decided to do one more thing, track down and purchase a nanite shield that I apparently missed in Babbage system. I headed back, feeling satisfied with my purchase, not realizing that I had accentually attracted a Drawg armada.

This was when all hell broke loose:


How many people perished on that station? Perhaps I'll never know:


I could execute these Drawg Behemoth with a pair of Plasma Archcannons at point-blank range, like putting a stunner at the head of a cow:


Responding to the attack of the century, the Korolov and Commonwealth Militia of the nearby systems hastily assembled a task force to render aid:



I saw many freighters sloppily converted to "Attack Ships", alas....:


None of the factories and manufacturing plants survived:

Taking save. This is going to be FUN.

[RPC]

I saw the save. May we take a moment of silence to honor those who defended St. Katharine's Star.

[RPC]

Posting save since I'll be away for ~2-3 days.

-Ok, so I inherited the save from Autohummer and got a huge mass of wrecks to clean up from St. Katharine's Star Massacre. I knew I would be a war profiteer, but the mission to reach the Core was worth more than just petty ethics.
-I got the rotolooter from one of the other ships and stuck it on the Black-Dressed Murderess and proceeded to reap profits.
-next I took stock of everything and decided to dump EVERYTHING into a crate
- I was going to take 3 ships with me:
1. Flagship
Black-Dressed Murderess
2. Secondary capship
Pirate Frigate Scatha
3. mule
Art II
4. Succession Ship
Agauptera

Caring for 4 ships is going to be a bit hard, but with careful planning nothing bad shouldn't happen.
Most of the save was spent cleaning stuff up and messing with inventory -- I think we can just go straight to Heretic now o.o

Save

*EDIT
Added screenies

Also I noticed that the APA's on the Ranx DN mean that it's easier to kill ships with friendly fire D:

13000 tons of armor o.o

I found Ironbottom Sound... I disabled the rotolooter because it was just kinda unnerving seeing all those wrecks.

Btw, does somebody want the "save every X minutes" thing as a mod?

[Datal]

Btw, does somebody want the "save every X minutes" thing as a mod?

Yeah, it should be useful can you do that ?

[RPC]

Yeah, it's pretty simple. I'll put it up tomorrow.

[FourFire]

I leave this playthrough for three days, and THIS happens?!
What is it with you guys? don't you care at all for preservation of all that is good and holey?

Perhaps you are like the protagonist in Futurama - I only like things with just one thing...

[RPC]

Does that mean you'll be taking the save?

[RPC]

Ok, found time to play, will take up save again.

[RPC]

Respawn?
They don't even tell me what I did....

[RPC]

WHYYYYYYYYY
