In my latest game I was crusing around in my big bad shard crusiers and came upon a derilect from the past. About a 150 years from the past. In the form of a Impact foil that I had forgot about.
Lets go back in time....
At the time I was into the pod popping business very heavely. I needed the cash and as I needed losts of money fast. I was a modified Spartan group next to a very real and original Yang. Well at first we had a mutual understanding, he stayed on his side of the line and I stayed on mine. I commisioned an impact vessel to go exploring and maybe use it to intimidate some unsuspecting new faction that I happened upon when I came across a pod. Now up until then I had been pretty lucky to stay away from the sea lurks and Isle of the deeps and had gotten some useful cash and the comm freq to Lal. But atlas the adventers of the crew of the impact foil was going to end when out of the blue a nasty Ilse attacked. Now, my men fought bravely and defeated the evil native lifeform. But it was at a great cost. I think it was something like 60% or 70% damage to be exact. Now I was along way from port, like on the other side of a huge map, so I decided that the crew should wait and fix the damage enough to limp back to port. But this was not to be. That lying bastard Yang wanted me to attack Sven. But I hadn't talked to Sven yet so I declined. Then Yang demanded energy, and I wasn't going to take that either. He threatened me and left. Next turn on of his rovers entered my territory and I demanded that it leave. He informed me that we would see whose land it was.
Skip forward a couple of centuries. Yang is currently in a punishment sphere along with Miriam. I have gone on to dominate the planet with my awesome array of military might. And in preparation for my invasion of the do gooder Lal, My fleet of warships and transports happnes along a lonely little impact foil. The crew managed to fix most of their damage and had waited patiently for instructions.
Usually I am a freak about micro management, and would have caught this. But I have been experiementing with a more lax attitude.
