KSK Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 15 hours ago, Just Jim said: Yeah... I was thinking the same thing... when the DM sounds surprised... run!!! And keep your fingers crossed that a) our good author isn't running some version of Rolemaster behind the scenes and b) hasn't just rolled a 66 crit against poor Gene... Spoiler For those that haven't played that particular tabletop game, rolling 66 on any critical hit was a) invariably fatal and b) fatal in a gruesomely hilarious way.

Martin has many ideas for future books, but I don't think that will stop him from doing whatever he needs to make his current one good. Yes, but it's not like such a dramatic shift is even in scope for George "Red Wedding" Martin. Some semblance of Protagonist Survival is seen, even in ASoIaF. It would be like having J.K Rowling rewrite HP5 and call it "Voldemort and the Sudden Application of Competence". On topic, that missile is drawn on a very narrow miss trajectory...

Gregmore "The Ghost" Kermulan is the very Kerbulan who shot down the rest of Glide Squadron and wrecked half of KSC. His evil version of the forgettability superpower is, apparently, the ability to spam missiles while bloaked. Gee I miss @Starhawk, I could always count on him to explain stuff like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenTurtle1134 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 So now it's Gregmore v.s. Gregmore? Also: What kind of weapons does Kerbfleet have? When they say "going in," does that just mean ram the enemy ship, or...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they say "going in," does that just mean ram the enemy ship, or...? Kerbfleet of course has no "weapons". They certainly operate some objects that a more murdery species (such as ours, or the Kerbulans) could use as weapons--hammers, cake knives, guided rockets packed with explosives, etc. But WYSIWYG on Gregmore's Gliido; there's no secret bay of explosive drones that Kerbfleet "forgot" about until just in time for the denouement. So, what will Gregmore do if and when he finds the Ghost? Ramming is of course an option that comes to mind, but would he do that knowing he might hurt or kill someone? It's the same moral argument a Kerbal would have to make if he had the option of crashing an unkerbed drone into a crewed ship. In human history we've seen plenty of non-violent activists willing to die for their cause, or even commit suicide as a form of protest--but none of those sought to take anyone else with them.
