Does the ship want a cracker

Jean,

I wasn't talking about subterfuge!

Just curious if your new chameleon class Enforcer Pirate ships color changing ability affects the stealth bonus as they change from black to pastel?

Jeff, why would we need stealth as we are completely honest business-creatures?

Jean, Stealth is built into the regular Orion ship classes (there are exceptions for things like the OK6 etc...), see Rule (G15.8) Stealth Bonus.

It doesnt matter to me, but if you continue to use Orion style ships (such as SVC posted above) then the obvious question to ask is, why do completely honest business creatures (such as you have professed to be) need with such specialized ships?

You might also want to consider the effects of rule G15.1 and specifically why you (as an honest business creature) need to have your own personal suicide bomb on every one of your ships (note specifically rule (G15.12).

Webmom - read your filk today, and I succumbed to the crazy and made an a-capella recording of the song. Would it be (in)appropriate of me to share it with the rest of the BBS?

Jeff, there are dangerous things out there! Honest business-creatures must be prepared for all eventualities! And that is why we don't discuss what our technologies do or don't do in any specific instance -- after all, no need to make intelligence gathering easy on those who might wish us harm.

Reid, after a bit of consultation, ship would love a shield cracker.

Jean; thanks. I think I'll wait until after christmas before bothering them with this. Give me a chance to build up a portfoli of songs to butcher. ;)

Nice song, but it'll never beat Graniya Llewellen.

Maybe the ship's colors drive targeting sensors crazy.

PMS Parrot re-paint/re-furbish underway at undisclosed slipway...
