aliens 0 the prequel engine room

Posted March 7, 2017 by NIFE

Engine Room, Round 24

The loud hum of the damaged hyperdrive is the first noise you hear, it seems to be active. You then realise you can't hear the chugging, grinding noises of the regular engines. It seems those too have been damaged and would need the ship be taken to a spacedock for full repair.

There is no power to this room.

Noteworthy Features
  • Hyperdrive Generator
    A massive cube like block of machinery. It hums while active.

  • Starboard Engine
    The mechanical engine section that helps run the starboard engine.

  • Port Engine
    The mechanical engine section that helps run the port engine.

  • Engineering Consoles
    A console that controls various propulsion related features.

  • Turret
    The turret is active and looking for targets.

    All manual actions have been updated. View your journal for details.

    The current round will end in roughly 3 hours time (probably 3pm UTC at the latest). If you wish to use your remaining actions for this round, get them done before then.

    Due to questions about OOG I have now setup (and you can test) a sort of in game OOG.

    Every character now has a commlink and by default you are on channel 1. There are four public channels, in order to swap channel you must use ONE manual action. You will then swap channel at the end of the round.

    You may also create private channels. To do so just say something like "Creates private channel Alpha" (name must be unique). To share access to a private channel use a manual action to share access. Anyone with access can share access, so be careful who you share with.

    You may only be in one Public Channel at a time, however for hosting simplicity you may be in multiple private channels at the same time.

    Please post any questions in the Main Thread.

    Remember to check your journal every round for important information. Major events from the previous round will appear in the current round of your journal. (So the major event from the end of Round 3 should currently appear in your journal for Round 4).

    There will be a 1 day delay on the round ending. I will try to update manual actions before then but deadline will be 3pm (BST, that's UTC+1) tomorrow.

    Important Update

    After observing how the game runs on NIFE I have decided to add an additional win/lose condition.

    Humans
  • Do NOT allow any aliens to escape with you.

    Aliens
  • If one or both of you escapes on the escape ship (with or without the humans) then the humans will automatically lose.

    I believe there are sufficient objects and abilities in the game world that this is still a balanced option. If you wish to discuss this change please post objections/concerns/thoughts in the main thread.

    Round update will be delayed (went to do it earlier but only one action had been made so didn't seem worth it). Unsure when I will get chance as I am out for most of the weekend, Monday at latest though!

    If this spacesuit I have on has weighted boots should be ok.

    @Moonray:

    How can turret be active if "There is no power to this room."

    April 25, 2017
    Edit
    Chief Sonny

    Because I am stupid and forgot to check that. If it came to combat I would've checked that before doing anything though.

    If you see any room that says the power is out, then you are safe to assume that any technology inside them is not working.
