WildSpace - A Riot! Quest

I must have misremembered/misinterpreted. Well, perhaps it was partially unclear originally.

Here's when it was originally asked:


Forgothrax asked about "active players" and you did not appear to correct him explicitly.

But there is this post later: Original - WildSpace - A Riot! Quest | Page 8

So I can only presume it was always intended to be for the entire roster, regardless of contribution.

Yeah, I'm sorry for the confusion. I meant every when I said every :p 'cause it's always possible for inactive players to come back. Don't want their chars to starve to death in the meantime!
 
Looks like the votes have been cast. I'll do a writeup either tonight or tomorrow.

Ugh. Tomorrow is OC spray day. Pray for my poor, soon-to-be-burning face and eyes.

Week 6, Part Fin: Ouch, Right In The Wallet
  • Threadmarks
    • Roselia looked over the inventory list with a critical eye, and made several suggestions. She passed the tablet on, and as it made its way around the group, several more were added. They came together in a hushed huddle while several other members of the colony wandered over, saw the list, and made their inputs.

    Finally, after about half an hour of deliberation, Roselia passed the tablet back to Denton. "Everything we want is circled in red. Don't worry about the money - we're good for it." she said, and Denton took the tablet with a gracious nod, eyebrow quirking ever higher as he scanned down the list.

    "You want just about all of my tradeables, don't you?" he said with a booming laugh. "Well hell, I like it. Makes a hell of a lot more room for more... lucrative cargo, down the line. You've got the cash?" he asked, and Roselia nodded, while one of the rescued teens comes running up with a small portable safe. DuClare unlocked it and reached into it, pulling out a stack of credit-coins, with rather a lot of zeroes hanging off the ends of their value indicators. She handed them over, and Denton counted them out.

    "Hmm... 'tween this and the minerals you promised me, you've got enough to cover it." he said, scratching at his chin. "And the minerals themselves?"

    As if on cue, all of the colony's packmules come trundling up, hauling small carts, full of precious metals and gemstones. Denton slapped his leg, laughing again.

    "It's been a hot minute since I've seen a packmule! Been spending too long haunting 'civilized' space, I'll wager." he said, and held his hand out to Roselia, Jack, Dr. Mizzet and Nevill in turn. "You've got a deal!"

    ~~~

    Within half an hour, the colony's shiny new, secondhand Technical came bouncing out of the ship's cargo hold, two Avenger turrets and two Constructo-bots on a trailer hooked to it. Four of the colony's packmules came trundling out, pulling the distillation unit between them, with assistance from two of the trader's own wheeled cargo units, its massive interconnected bulk looking like it might blow the twenty-four wheels letting it move at any moment.

    One more packmule came out, carrying two of the oddest things anyone in the colony had ever seen - a floating stone, bound to the trailer by heavy chains, and a black monolith that seemed to drink the light from its surroundings.

    And Denton himself came down with the data disk containing basic flyer designs and blueprints for their parts. "Here," he said, handing it off to Mizzet, who looked pleased with the addition to his growing tech library,"Got a whole bunch of stuff on it you might find high useful. I also tossed some of the latest newsfeeds off the HyperNet on it in a separate file. Enjoy!" he said, walking back towards his ship.

    "Oh!" he added, as the ship's engines started spooling up, "I almost forgot. I'm gonna give y'all a good word among the traders I know - you might see some more business soon!" he said, and waved as the ship started to lift off, the cargo door closing fully.

    • @Shadows May I have the DC and mineral cost for building an HMG? (And if it's linear scaling for intending to build multiple?)

    OK, so while we can riot-style vote for ourselves, we do need to present a group vote for our ZBs and bots. Thus, the above. We are short on power and on shelter, and we need fortifications. Ergo, the above plan, that should give a nice +15 to the shelter research, +12 to building the shelter, and +12 to the nuclear plant. I myself am setting up the nuclear plant. At least 1 other Ops person to the shelter, and 2-3 more on the Nuclear Plant, please.

    @Shadows I presume the DC and minerals cost to expand the Basic shelter into Improved is smaller than building a new Improved all by itself? What's the DC for the nuke plant? And can we use minerals being mined this turn?

    HMG's DC is 35. Once you can build one, an additional can be made every 20 points beyond that. So you'd make 2 rolling a 55, 3 with a 75 ...

    I get sprayed in the face with, literally, distilled capsaicin, i.e. the stuff that makes peppers spicy. It's gonna suck.

    You presumed rightly. The DC for the nuclear plant is 70. You cannot. (for the sake of my number crunching)

    Maybe you could go haul back salvage from the other colony? We could use some of their guns and stuff. Would you be interested if I did a write-in for a funeral and burial for the honored heroes of the attack?

    Alternative option: build a second Basic shelter.

    I'd been inactive on this quest for some time, but recently caught back up after a while of binge reading. Thank you for feeding my character - even though all he did was sit around and sleep :facepalm:

    It's free. Individual hand-held weapons use such a small amount of a point of Minerals that it's more a question of "how much of that point did you waste" than "how many points will it take".

    Vehicle weapons bigger than an HMG or Fire and Forget missiles use points per weapon. So a tank gun will actually use the entirety of two points of minerals to produce (those suckers be heavy, yo).

    Speaking of which, I've underped myself and added costs to the existing options, as well as added your Drone and Robot design to the produceable list.

    I am stubborn like that.
     
    @Shadows Does "Kit Possessed" simply mean it doesn't cost anything or does it also lower the requirement for a successful roll to put it together?

    EDIT: Also worth considering: I've just taken note of the fact that we're currently at 100/440 on our Mineral harvesting, we'll want to keep that in mind for the future as far as the fact that our current mineral resources are, in fact, limited in the long-run.

    Yes, we'll want to have people on another Survey action at some point.
