00:27:38 Devastator: sorry
NJW, got home late today.
01:18:11 IronyOwl has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:21:23 IronyOwl: what did I miss plotwise?
01:26:33 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:27:27 IronyOwl: watching
dev commit warcrimes in space
01:27:32 IronyOwl: or prevent warcrimes in sapce
01:28:07 IronyOwl: also man nebula missions really don't work out in this game
01:28:20 IronyOwl: I applaud the effort but it's just staring at targeting markers
01:30:14 IronyOwl: man now I'm keenly aware of how long it's been since I did anything depraved
01:30:19 IronyOwl: better go update elves or something
01:36:56 IronyOwl: stream's out or I'm DC'd
01:40:20 Devastator: yeah, looks like it dropped a minute.
01:40:28 Devastator: the messages in IRC are still there.
01:41:05 Devastator: basically, you missed the cleanup of the rebellion including a few shooting gallery missions in a bomber as basically every terran starship ever built flies byl.
01:43:26 Devastator_ has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:43:32 Devastator_: Sorry, looks like my internet dropped.
01:44:08 Devastator_: plotwise the rebellion was crushed and that admiral dude sacced basically his whole remaining fleet to force a path through that nebula.
01:44:22 Devastator_: then got transferred to a vasudan ship to go explore said nebula, with the rebellion over.
01:44:38 IronyOwl: so he and his fancy capital ship made it through to the shivans?
01:44:42 Devastator_: ran into a big mother called the SJ Sathanas, which is about the size of the Collossus, and better armed.
01:44:57 IronyOwl: I saw the Sathanas blow up the Tananan or whatever and then leave
01:45:14 Devastator_: Next mission: You. Alone, in a stealth fighter.
01:45:25 IronyOwl: man you get the best missions
01:45:44 Devastator_: It makes you wonder how they'd win these wars without Alpha 1.
01:45:47 Devastator has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
01:45:54 Devastator_ is now known as Devastator
01:46:10 IronyOwl: still showing as offline for me
01:59:09 Devastator: oh goddamn it, what happened?
02:03:06 Devastator: getting some rando error. Time to test.
02:10:07 Devastator: also, for some reason twitch seems to be taking absolutely forever to load. Hmm.
02:11:14 IronyOwl: I genuinely get a giggle out of how many technical problems this process runs into
02:11:21 IronyOwl: you'd think it'd be real easy, but here we are
02:11:56 Devastator: No, it looks like my roommate is using 100% bandwidth again.
02:12:09 Devastator: so must be a windows update for win10
02:12:19 Devastator: should be downloaded by wednesday.
02:14:45 Devastator: yeah, weird. Youtube, which I had up before that started, is still able to get bandwith fine. Everything else can't.
02:16:47 Devastator: no, not that. It's like it's been blocked.
02:19:47 Devastator: Checking it, looks like a huge twitch outage.
02:19:50 Devastator: so not me for once!
02:25:55 Devastator: okay, looks back up.
02:32:41 Devastator: Stream's up,
IronyOwl
02:33:51 Devastator: it is working, right?
02:42:16 IronyOwl: ah yes, it is working
02:44:22 IronyOwl: did you just get your support ship killed?
02:46:20 IronyOwl: ah, the support KDA line
02:46:59 Devastator: the support ship might have blown up yes.
02:47:03 Devastator: that's why I got so wasted.
02:47:16 Devastator: also, next time I'll put the anti-turret weapons on the wingmen.
02:47:37 IronyOwl: how does blowing up portals work?
02:48:21 Elastic_Ridicule has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:48:48 IronyOwl: is that uh... bad for the space environment or logistics or something?
02:53:22 IronyOwl: that reminds me, do we know anything about the shivans other than that they murdered you guys in the Great War before being counter-murdered?
03:02:20 IronyOwl: if WE have the tech to rebuild the portal
03:02:25 IronyOwl: what are the odds the shivans don't?
03:03:57 Devastator: Well, yes, they can, naturally.
03:13:46 IronyOwl: this run appears considerably more grim than the first one
03:17:45 IronyOwl: don't transfer missiles from a supply ship to a fighter in the killzone of an enemy capital ship, got it
03:20:52 IronyOwl: the dreadnought just disrupted his bombing run by gently nudging into him
03:23:45 IronyOwl: now his support ship got tangled in the enemy ship, and so couldn't resupply his torpedoes
03:24:14 Elastic_Ridicule: hey, whatever happened to that infiltration team
03:24:22 Elastic_Ridicule: t mention them in my turn
03:25:47 IronyOwl: this looks hideous to play,
dev
03:25:55 IronyOwl: you should probably call it or restart the game or something
03:28:52 Devastator: You sent them back as ordered.
03:29:15 Devastator: and I'm annoyed I had it perfect the first time!
03:29:44 Devastator: I'll restart it in a bit.
03:40:55 IronyOwl: you sure are bold rushing those flak cannons
03:41:15 IronyOwl: also your support is taking his sweet time
03:41:36 IronyOwl: he must have gotten caught again
03:41:47 IronyOwl: that's probably why his estimated time was going up as you moved forward
04:07:47 IronyOwl: maybe your missiles are hitting at the wrong angle or something?
04:08:15 IronyOwl: like if your ship is parallel to the arm they both fly straight and hit, but if you're tilted differently one missile hits and the other scrapes past?
04:10:04 IronyOwl: now just avoid flying right into an explosion and you should be good
04:12:36 IronyOwl: I mean, you were pretty beat up from before, weren't you?
04:12:44 IronyOwl: or does resupply repair as well?
04:19:32 IronyOwl: is that it then, you got it?
04:22:43 Devastator: not retrying that for that bonus objective.
04:22:49 Devastator: I'll leave that for the perfect run.
04:22:56 Devastator: but.. promotion to full lieutenant!
04:23:07 Devastator: only 210 kills to get it! (or something like that.)
04:23:29 IronyOwl: does it factor in size, or is 1 corvette equal to 1 shitty fighter?
04:24:33 IronyOwl: you crippled a dreadnought but a full corvette died taking down a smaller ship so we're not gonna, like, give you a medal or anything
04:27:59 IronyOwl: of course the alliance's giant inefficient deathship doesn't work right
04:34:17 Devastator: for that mission only they give it much better beam guns, hence the whole 'overload the reactor' thing.
04:34:25 Devastator: but now it doesn't work.
04:34:29 Devastator: and yeah, the medal was the next mission.
04:34:36 Devastator: the game isn't over yet.
04:51:27 IronyOwl: there were thousands on board the Iceni?
04:53:55 Devastator: special class, but it's basically a corvette with the weapons and toughness of a destroyer.
04:54:08 Devastator: probably had a crew of about 3000
04:55:52 Devastator: Estimated odds of me getting a shot at disabling this transport, Irony?
04:56:21 IronyOwl: real good or real bad
04:56:24 Devastator: although if it wasn't invincible, with those subsystem missiles it takes -very- little time to do that.
04:56:34 Devastator: like two hits and ten seconds.
04:56:45 IronyOwl: I'm kinda disappointed with the plot so far, but Bosch seems kinda plot-important
04:57:13 IronyOwl: also weren't there two transports?
05:05:39 IronyOwl: every time you guys bring a capital ship, it gets fucking rekt
05:06:14 Devastator: there were two friendly transports to board it.
05:06:36 Devastator: hey, you missed the Acquitaine campaign where you wrecked everythign with it.
05:11:43 IronyOwl: so I know you did most of the work
05:12:01 IronyOwl: but I notice you supposedly needed fighters and a heroic sacrifice to buy time to let the colossus destroy the first sammy
05:12:14 IronyOwl: and then the aquataine manages it with less damage than the colossus took
05:12:52 IronyOwl: okay maybe not less damage after all
05:18:03 IronyOwl: yeah so that sounds like less damage than the colossus, which is at 80% operational strength but will need months to repair
05:20:22 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:27:03 IronyOwl: wow
dev, this game hates you today
05:27:50 Devastator: no, we didn't kill another sathanas.
05:28:03 Devastator: the second one murdered a vasudan destroyer.
05:28:03 IronyOwl: oh, it was a smaller ship
05:28:08 Devastator: yeah, it was a corvette.
05:28:38 Devastator: which are, in the crazyland of the GTVA, bigass ships.
05:28:46 Devastator: but they're the smallest 'big capships'
05:31:33 Devastator: capships go from cruisers, which are the smallest caps, to corvettes, to destroyers (which are the biggest fleet ships) to superdestroyers like the Demon from the first game and the GTVA Colossus.
05:31:51 Devastator: although they didn't actually call the colossus a superdestroyer because they only ever meant to make one.
05:32:16 Devastator: anyway, I'll try the SOC loop before ending it tonight.
05:32:21 Devastator: I think this one is two missions.
05:55:48 IronyOwl: I thought you needed sleep
05:56:10 Devastator: I'll put it back on. Just gonna do the two SoC missions.
05:56:14 Devastator: I'll finish up the campaign later.
06:15:19 Devastator: yeah, it's running.
06:15:22 Devastator: also, this is the special mission.
06:15:34 Devastator: finally get a peek through that second portal on the far side of the nebula.
06:15:49 Devastator: and you get to fly a shivan fighter.
06:15:57 IronyOwl: or at least sounds cool
06:16:00 Devastator: yeah, don't miss this one.
06:16:02 Devastator: it's a fixed time limit.
06:18:36 IronyOwl: the fuck just happened
06:28:12 Elastic_Ridicule has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:35:33 IronyOwl: haha, that's what going above and beyond gets you
06:35:53 IronyOwl: ...are you at 1% hull integrity?
06:37:10 Devastator: the fuck what happened?
06:37:28 IronyOwl: you jumped in and there was immediately screaming and shooting
06:37:44 Devastator: you jump in, and there's a Sathanas coming RIGHT AT YOU, about to jump out.
06:37:59 Devastator: shooting is optional, actually, you can stealth around for a while.
06:38:20 Devastator: but scoring one more rashkasha class down, one nobody goes for, sounded interesting.
06:40:28 Devastator: with just one there stripping it should be possible, although I'm wondering if those are the normal beam turrets on them.
06:40:33 Devastator: I don't remember them being that badass.
06:40:56 IronyOwl: that is an interesting project
06:41:09 IronyOwl: is it possible to kill it completely without a capital ship?
06:42:44 Devastator: Yeah, rashkashas are cruisers.
06:42:56 Devastator: you can kill them with ordinary guns.
06:56:20 Elastic_Ridicule: what's up,
syv?
07:35:21 Devastator: "Its anti-capital capability is good for a cruiser with two SGreens; however, the mounting scheme, and the SGreen being the woefully inefficient piece of junk that it is, the Aeolus will make most warship kills by bathing them in flak fire. This is actually surprisingly effective. "
07:35:28 Devastator: Ahh, the aeolus flak cruiser.
08:06:21 syv: Well, in answer to "what's up", I fell back asleep.
08:06:50 Elastic_Ridicule: I'm playing a game now
08:08:39 Elastic_Ridicule: BIT RAT singularity
08:12:31 Elastic_Ridicule: so far, it's alright!
08:12:47 Elastic_Ridicule: start of level 3 now
09:06:35 Elastic_Ridicule: pretty well balanced puzzle game
09:06:54 Elastic_Ridicule: it feels complex, but so far not beyond my grasp
09:27:24 syv has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
09:46:59 Elastic_Ridicule: 30 minutes later:
09:47:02 Elastic_Ridicule: fuck this puzzle
10:44:03 NJW has joined #einsteinianroulette
10:59:05 NJW: hopefully today, unless I've forgotten to make a section
10:59:22 NJW: still, hard to say when "today" is on such an international IRC
11:06:04 er: ...It sounds to me like you'll put it up today, while I'm at work and can't internet.
11:07:33 NJW: will pick players at random from anyone who posts a sheet within 24hrs+however long I feel like leaving it after that
11:13:08 NJW: Anyone who stays away from bay12 for 24 entire hours doesn't deserve a place~
11:19:04 er: Oop, just thought of an art for your system
11:19:24 er: Something for manipulation, but not creation.
11:19:44 er: Can't make fire, but can move it around
