I'm getting a striking resemblence as I'm starting to explore the N*p*l**n*c Wars in my free time... Oh, most definitely! Good comparison!!! In fact it's so bad that in what's left of Thompberry's brain, he thinks he doesn't have a Napoleon complex, Napoleon has a Thompberry complex!!!

Thompberry is on one of Jools moons... like the island Napoleon was banished to... and then all the other pieces fell into place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobelong Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yes, so Parka is covering up the signal from Jool? It is possible that he works for Tomphberry? Dun dun duuuun! Or those signals are just the result of a hyperspace warship slamming into my network of 14 probes... Still dun dun duuuun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the feeling early on that Thompberry was Nyarlathotep, what with his fancy gadget when he was seemingly there to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Awwww man!!! So yesterday I spent most of the morning building... something. Then spent the afternoon trying to figure out how to get this huge... something... into orbit. And last night I launched this... thing... and to my amusement, got it where I needed it. And this morning I loaded everything up to pick up where I left off.... and realized I forgot a part. D'oh!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge deal, just means I'm doing an unscheduled re-launch this morning, as soon as I've made some more coffee.

Mister Dilsby Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 On the Bill Space Program save, the sea at 0 degrees 0 is cluttered with broken parts of various versions of Intrepid I'd orbited, then realized I had to "recall" for some reason or another, and made a hyperedit landing to recover crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobelong Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) I mean, it's not like some big space sandworm made by Thompberry-Kraken thing is eating all my probes... Well, Lulin Kerman, owner of competitor of my company KADC, KADD, has disappeared. I wonder what he's doing... Meanwhile... Lulin: Yes.... these gravioli particles will appeal to the ancient one... there is enough in this ship to lay waste to an entire planet!

Parkaboy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'm still dealing with the fact that @Kuzzter is a cool space pirate and I'm the guy that makes ladders. Well, at least I have an evil laugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Oh cool..... apparently this was a good screw-up. I changed things around a little before I re-launched, and after it was in orbit, I did the math, and made a very cool discovery that will really work nicely a couple chapters down the road. Parts 1 and 2 are now in orbit. The rest of my day is going to be playing fun with docking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interplanetary Engineer Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Aaah ... the suspense! So many suspicious characters doing so many weired things and so many possibilities for something to go horribly wrong! Keep up the amazing storytelling!

Well, at least I have an evil laugh... Hmm, I got the the feeling the "cool space pirate" was working for you, not because you needed him, but because you found it convenient at the moment and could also write it off as your annual tythe of pro bono work to keep the state bar happy. But that you didn't really need him, had more than adequate plans of your own before he came along, and could have had 6 or 8 different snipers take him out simultaneously with just a subtle gesture during the conversation.

Dobelong Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 What is Thompberry doing anyway? On another note, I haven't heard from CFO Lulin Kerman of KADC for a while. I wonder what he's doing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about right. Neither the captain or Parka need each other so much as it's a mutually beneficial arrangement. And both could have the other taken out in one way or the other with ease..... which is why they work so well together, neither trusts the other more than they absolutely have to.

Just Jim Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Oh, a quick update... I got a huge chunk of my next "project" done yesterday. Hopefully I'll get it wrapped up today so I can get this next chapter written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 OK, today was.... awkward... I may have to redesign one ship.... but I'm gonna try again tomorrow first before I scrap it. Sorry it's taking so long, when y'all see the screenshots of what I'm up to I think you'll understand. Actually... what the heck... here's a spoiler from the next chapter, and what's frying my computer this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
