I just meant I wish I could jump ahead to see what will happen during this turn. Plus I want to go home, but I still have 7 hours or so before I can.

But if you went home you might run into yourself and cause a time paradox...

Gah

Why does everything have to have technicalities....

I notice there wasn't a hyperping at U, but there was combat. Does a ship traveling from deep space to a planet in the same system not make a hyperping, or is something else going on here?

edit: or rather, there was a hyperping at U, but only in deep space.

‘Twas a screwup. Fixed.

Gasp! A GM error!

@Ardaedhel so you're the one controlling the brood swarm then?

I don't remember seeing you earlier in the game.

PS I absolutely love the random "hey this NPC just spoiled your fun and attacked you" aspect. It's really making me rethink my strategy

It's nice to know it's a different player controlling the "NPC Faction" and not the GM who knows exactly what everyone is doing and where to hit them to maximize damage. See for example: You showing up at E to be greeted with Task Force GRRRLLLRRRKKKK!

Just for clarity: while I am doing my best to play them thematically, have no doubt that I'm definitely also trying to win.

Very well. Proceed.

But have your boss seek our approval in advance next time.

In that case: Beep, er, boop! We, uh, exist to BEEP and sometimes Boop.

Also - gutsy opening move - attack everyone!

(Also, working on my orders but they probably won't be in til I get home from Armada tonight, sorry all!)

If it's for Armada's sake, all is forgiven!
