Fate of the Eternal Defiance

17 May, 2017 - Swarmfly | 3 Comments

We have taken a turn for the worst.

This is it. The 5th sector is within our grasp, and what could be the worst that could happen?

http://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=919745115

The choice of the 5th sector lies here. Avoided the Rebel controlled one like the plague, leaving us to no choice but to approach the Zoltan one...

With a low supply of fuel, we forged ahead downwards hoping to speed though the sector. We should be home by Christmas, and be heros of the Federation!

Return of the Eternal Defiance!

26 April, 2017 - Swarmfly | 0 Comments

It has been a while, but here is a recap of what happened.

http://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=907215843

Those rebel ships weren't all that bad, but they were a constant thorn at our side, and there will always be more down the road.

http://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=908969661

Realizing that our ship really did take a beating, we redirected our course, and parked near a dainty little shop.

There wasn't much at store, but the mechanics were willing to fix up the Defiance's leaking air supply, as well as the ship itself.

Now with a beefier air supply and nailing wood planks over the holes, we dart straight ahead, and encountered an overly zealous Zoltan frigate. Its shield took time to erase, and its choice of laser weaponry was an absolute joke, but Miss Creep once again had the wonderful idea of aggressively mangling the dashboard, losing the steering wheel and the mini-microwave in the process. At least the little timer it had still works.

Shattering the lil' Zoltan ship to pieces, we then zoom off, and bump into a Slug cruiser. Oh dear, not again. Kyno was in the process of loading the missles in the wrong way! Practice Dummy barged in to intervene, and it took a while for his evil-looking swirly eyes to give way.

After re-reloading the missile launcher, we then smash nearly every subsystem in the Slug cruiser's ship, and we accepted a nice bribe from them. Some scrap, a couple fuel cells, and a roll of TP! Good luck so far.

And now we are met at a multi-branched crossroads. Just any one of them could lead to our doom, or delay it a little further. Choose wisely.

Hmm, not really as much activity as there used to be.

Might as well stop waiting for other users to reply if one has already voted, unless that changes swiftly enough.

I always wanted to be a captain.

So far, Miss Creep is the navigational systems operator (aka captain), Practice Dummy is the shield(er), you are the weapon specialist (hehe, make things go boom), and Elda Berry is the engine mechanic.
