My comment was half-joky, but yes if you don't want to be reasonable and godmod, I don't think you'll be happy here.

 And one of the best hypocritic comments ever... *bows* GG.

Anyhow, I fail to see the "god mode" there. I only see your own inadequacy to understand Spelljammer rulesbooks.

Thank you for posting the stats, Mir. However, posting stats does not make something automatically ok. Even if we did not tell you "no" to the jammer weeks ago (which we probably should have given that Ad Astra has been a one-ship one-party campaign server from day 1), that was not DM approval of a-ship-that-cannot-be-destroyed. Entertaining the notion that a single PC here has a ship of the same class as the Astra or Hanathar Battle Cruisers (which were already established IC to be quite effective in battle against ships of the same class) was pretty darn generous as it was.

And let's not pretend that its appearance on the forums was anything but Deus ex Machina, because I doubt Mir has so little to do with her life that she's been sitting outside of Mazran the past 3-4 weeks waiting for Hildmor to call her.

You have been insulting and acted as though we owed you something from the first day you posted on the forums. If you dislike Ad Astra or do not wish to actually be part of it, you are more than welcome to never show your face here again. We're hardly running a popularity contest.

 1) it can be destroyed. What's so hard to understand in Hit Dice and Hardness and weapon damages? But I've seen ship-vs-ship handled just plain wrong so far (= not at all, just by winding stuff from sleeve).

2) Mir hasn't been really anywhere near Mazran lately - not until someone contacted me on Steam wee bit before I did my posting.

I don't dislike Ad Astra, but aside so far one-time cameo appearance, no one has presented any sort of incentive to be around (which tho also walks hand-to-hand with the fact that I have not a slightest clue when there even is people around - the time's I've been on, there's been no one - so far managed to be around only *once* so that there has been someone else too, thanks to Reptiller for informing me then of others' presence).

Moving this here because back and forth OOC discussions don't really belong in the IC section of the forums.

 Anikaiful: "TQ: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SiahrzhgukN-A_gLoiHzP8DLGftZa5xTC8FgF1Tndek (( sidenote: just saying, but technically speaking Hanathar can keep firing all day long before there's any substantial damage aboard ))"

Tomek: "//Uhm. How is that supposed to be balanced? :p "

Anikaiful: "(( depends on from whom you ask. Me? Balanced in comparison to what exactly? Pinballs? Anyhow - I posted the link just because I was asked to so that the Deus Ex Machinas can take off their proverbial tin foil hats. I fail to see what purpose that'll serve in the end though, Tangerine got already more entangled in writing than I intended - at Ad Astra it wasn't meant to become more than a footnote. ))"

 

As you wish, but so shall I disappear. Seen enough of the hypocritic backstabbing asshattery already.

/signing-off.

1) You're outnumbered by 2 1/2 (i.e. one's damaged) ships of the same class, and at least four more frigates, all armed with the established best guns out there (we stole some for just this reason earlier). They also got to start out surrounding you because of how you charged in. They're not magicy rift creating guns, but they are meant to pierce hulls and damage other equally big ships--significantly. Its forum rp, and you didn't offer any rolls or stats to start with--I had to look them up myself--so don't complain that there are no numbers just because you don't like being hit.

2) If Mir wasn't around, she shouldn't have shown up and jumped into the middle of a battle she didn't know about, should she?

For the record, it is assumed that players who come here have 1) had the premise explained to them; if this didn't happen, yell at Rep, and 2) have characters interested in joining the Astra's crew. The latter certainly doesn't seem to be the case with Mir, if she has her own ship.

Tangerine's been in worse messes. But anyhow, if Mir couldn't logically be there - okay... fine... retrofit, a bad pipe dream for all and life goes on. Mir'll drop by later when her dealings elsewhere are concluded (yes, she travels a -lot- and that's what's she been doing instead of sitting idle for weeks).

2.2.) now, being part of the crew (or not being part of it) status was clear before Ad Astra even existed. Mir told to Dace that she'd -visit-, -with- her own ship. That's about it. She was (and is) intended as Visitor, Guest, aboard.

But then again, the one time I recall seeing Mir, all she did was stay back from all the action and find mild amusement in snickering at what the puny mortals were doing with their short, miserable lives. That isn't exactly a prime way of getting involved, y'know.

Aside Isaacing a bunch of fiends, there wasn't really much for her to do aside listening to others (which I found entertaining in itself, really :) ).

If you didn't want to get the ship involved in the first place, she could have simply flown away in it... this isn't Sigil, just as a reminder.

And if you don't feel involved or know when to play, well... you could always just ask me or anyone (except Reptiller, he'd rather just have Mr. Hildmor procrastinate somewhere than make a new character and get sh*t done :D) on Steam, it's not like we're purposefully hiding from you.
