Pirate Coaliton War and Luos fall remind me the Warlord Campaign storyline from For House and Dominion. Is it inspired by it or are they both inspired by some other source?
Clover Region description imply that Blackwaks and Talons are at truce now?
And what is the deal with the Berserk? -2 points on shileds is not so much and it gives you whole 180m.
>>44345390
>>44345202
I feel that absolutely essential rooms are:
>Ore Processing Facility / Factory Wing
>Cargo Space / Engineering Bay
>Aquaculture Room / Hydroponic Garden
>Infirmary
Which still leaves me with 2 rooms for other comforts.
I like shorter CYOA
Man, I really want to post some of this really old shit I have.
But most of it is, well.. shit
>>44345440
Never followed it, unfortunately.
It's not really inspired by any particular source, but it is influenced by a lot of things, even things not particularly sci fi
"Truce". Everyone's currently at a "don't just shoot on sight" phase but everyone still hates each other. Politics will always remain vicious even when the guns aren't firing.
>>44345390
Intersting, by the looks l like the Nora, the kinks arebest on Becky and Blitzen so it's a choice between those two. I wish there more about their character rather than thier job.
>>44345539
Just do it
>>44345474
>>Ore Processing Facility / Factory Wing
This is completely pointless on a small ship. An engineering bay can store spare parts and fix things just fine. The factory is for producing new things like drones.
If I made a build with 6 rooms it would be something like
>Advanced Infirmary
>Lounge/Recreation/Observatory
>Engineering/Cargo
>Digital Security/Hypercomms
>Teleporting Platform
Everything here except for the rec/lounge/observatory is completely critical IMO.
>Advanced Arsenal
The quality of food given that there is no meat fridge, hydroponics or aquaculture, compounded by the fact that there's no kitchen or anything, would be a real wear on morale. But I think that recreation is still more important for morale. On one hand people can probably play vidya and read books on their futuristic PDAs, but on the other hand sci-fi MRE food is probably closer to sufficient than just having PDAs for entertainment.
You also wouldn't even have a separate room for yourself which would suck royally.
In the end this would be a ship I wouldn't like to go on any sort of long trip on. Give it 4 more rooms and I can imagine months passing by comfortably though.
>>44345468
Black Naped Oriole, for that awesome tank, Red Flanked Bluetail to keep everythin g in top condition (and that Iron Man Armor for defending the base). Japanese Robin for all-around usefulness.
We drive around in tanks and jeeps going out to defend or attack strategic locations. It'll be rad as hell!

>Gae Bulg in the lastest Stardust had its spinal mount removed for 4 broadside mounts, and had its hanger space nerfed
Oh for fuck sakes, it was perfect before.
>>44345956
It still has huge hangar space and 4 broadsides are about the same value as 2 spinals IMO.

Steve had $100. Bob thief stole $20 away from Steve. Because $80 is still a lot of money, Steve shouldn't get mad. Yeah, no.
>4 broadsides are about the same value as 2 spinals IMO.
If you wanted a ship with broadside mounts, buy the Asmodai instead. The purpose of the spinal mount was to have a ship with a AMC without having to buy a battleship. I'm glad it's a bit cheaper, but tha'ts no excuse to not only nerf it, but change the entire ship from how it originally was.
>>44346171

LMAO
Nobody stole anything, it was balanced. You should be happy the CYOA you're enjoying is getting attention.

One, you can still do that you dummy, just get the hull mods for spinal slots. Two, broadsides are a lot more valuable than spinals on carriers than on most ships, because carriers just have terrible navigation no matter what.
>>44345709
So Talons are not actually pirates, does their main income comes from actual criminal activity or it's a thing of the past and Federation just lable them as such for ideological reasons?
Will we ever learn what is Talons and Fairlight real agenda?
>>44346213
>Nobody stole anything, it was balanced.
Yes, it was. Then it was nerfed to the ground for no reason, while other ship classes received buffs plus way more of a price drop.
>One, you can still do that you dummy, just get the hull mods for spinal slots.
If I'm a dummy, then you're clinically retarded. Why don't you go and read the description on the spinal mount mod again. Go on, I'll wait.

>>44346262
>Yes, it was.
No it wasn't you crybaby. You are not entitled to dictating how someone else makes their CYOA. If SDA doesn't want carriers to have AMC because he doesn't believe that fits their theme, it's his right to put that into the CYOA.
>Spinal Mounts
Okay, you're right, I forgot about that. You're still the one acting like a child though.
And I'm still right that four broadsides are better than two spinals for a carrier because of firing arc coverage.
>>44346327

And it's not like I couldn't use the pre-update stats either.
>>44346262
>>44345956
Now that AMCs take up 2 spinal slots, I really see no point to having a carrier have a single spinal slot you can't expand. I don't think you'd even use the broadsides to be honest. Besides, drones are cheaper now.
>>44346149

Eventually you'll run out of spare parts and wish you had a factory wing.

That and Cryosleep is what I went for in addition to the rooms I mentioned in >>44345474. I considered swapping Cryosleep for something recreational, but it would suck to die before you reached your destination.
>Teleporting Platform
>Advanced Arsenal
Ok, you want some boarding action; those two rooms are completely non-essential for long solitary trips and they're far from the first rooms I'd add if I could add more rooms.

You'd run out of those too eventually.

Meh, if the other crew members aren't bothered by it it won't bother me either, it's a tight crew anyway.

I think we're talking about very different trip lengths. I'm talking about The Traveller levels of long, indefinite even.
Stardust Build.
My name is... well, it's better you don't know. I have made a lot of enemies.
Like so many things in this universe, it all started on a dead rock in the middle of nowhere. I was part of a Beatrice R&D salvage team investigating some Herald ruins - the previous two teams they'd sent had no luck, and I had just finished my 2,000th hour of Mind Link training and was finally considered ready for duty. Sarah Escher was sent along with me - I guess Wilhelm was off at some other dig site, or he would probably have forced his way onto the team.
When we landed, we started combing through the wreckage. Our security team was a bunch of goddamned misfits that BR&D had scraped up on short notice, but they were all capable (in one case, famously so). I'm glad that was the case, since the moment we found an intact terminal in the ruins the fucking bandits showed up. Archangel and the rest made short work of them, but Arabelle said she heard a dropship heading back into orbit near the end of the fight - whoever they were, they knew we were here. I don't think they've stopped trying to catch us since.
Sarah and I got the terminal running, and I hooked up to it because I'm a fucking moron who plugs his brain into alien technology. The instant I connected to the machine, I learned three things.
One - The biggest Herald ship I'd ever heard of was two jumps away, and it was empty and ripe for the taking for anyone who had the balls to jump into Fire Legion space. It was empty and half-gutted, but the engines would run.
Two - It had a twin, 10 jumps away, that was not empty.
Three- That ship's captain was recording my unauthorized breach of the terminal in the ruins, and she was profoundly unhappy with me.
>>44346476
It took some convincing, but I got Sarah and the security team to go along with me and my plan of stealing the ship out from under the nose of the Fire Legion. We up hit a port outside of Fire Legion space for some engineers to help us get the ship running, and somehow we made it there, patched up the Mothership's engines, and got the hell out. We took the long way back to Stardust port, hoping any patrols or the other Mothership captain would look for us along a direct route. That's why we passed by Erebus and found the first girl. We picked up a second one halfway from there to Stardust - they were both pretty grateful to be rescued, and we were pretty gratefull to have more crew - this ship's a bitch and a half to fly when it's undermanned.
We made it to Stardust without (further) incident. We had to sell half the relics on board the ship to raise the funds to fit it properly - Sarah would have cried at the lost of so many Herald artifacts if it hadn't meant the Mana Core would be restored to full functionality for her to play with. We were both crushed to find that the original Herald command module was a wreck - we were also crushed by the price tag on the repair quotes, so I fitted it with the more reasonably priced "Banshee" EWAR command mod instead.
Even the relics didn't cover the full cost of refitting and crewing up a ship this size, though, so I took a lot of job offers that had flooded in as soon as the mothership docked. That got the crew filled out to a little over half capacity, and the flood of volunteers begging to help run a Herald vessel brought us up to 2/3s before I stopped taking more applications. I didn't trust either the Federation or the Pirate crews on the station not to sell me out the second we were in deep space, so I hired damn near every Dustkeeper on the station.
>>44346530
Unfortunately, the first of those jobs, a pleasure cruise for some dolt and his family, is what really got us out of the pot and into the fire. One of the damned vacationers recognized Hailey and called the Federation. To compound that, one of the Volunteers turned out to be less trustworthy than even random people begging to take a ride on your giant space ship are expected to be and altered the Fire Legion to Comet's presence. On top of THAT, Beatrice found out we'd swiped the greatest scientific find of the century out from under them for personal gain and sold the priceless artifacts on board to the highest bidder without giving them a place at the table. I understand I have them to thank for the 100m bounty currently placed on my head. Those bandits are still after me too - another of the volunteers was found with detonation charges in his bunk. He'd asked three times to be transferred to the reactor section.
I've taken to living purely on the ship, now. No great stretch, given it's a mobile city, but I can't afford to leave its protection. Taking a trip to 'witness' some planet out on the fringe, next. Hopefully the Fire Legion doesn't decide to follow me out there.

>>44346473
>Eventually you'll run out of spare parts and wish you had a factory wing.
Yeah, like decades later. And a factory wing can't build just anything, you still need to restock on advanced parts even with one, you just might be able to go longer because you don't have to bring as much basic material.
And you're forgetting that you need an entire mining industry in addition to your factory wing. You're not going to do much mining with a frigate.
>That and Cryosleep is what I went for in addition to the rooms I mentioned
Then you have absolutely no quality of life improvements. At this point I don't think you'd be able to go on long journeys at all without your crew going crazy.
And no, you can't be in cryosleep all the time, there's work to be done. If you tried keeping your crew asleep perpetually all you'd be left with is the autopilot.
>You'd run out of those too eventually.
Yeah, and you also die of old age eventually. What's your plan exactly, going for 50 years without getting to a habitable world or a space port of any kind? Sure, space might be like an endless empty desert in real life, but I don't think that's a reasonable interpretation when you look at the CYOA's setting. Particularly the map that was actually given on page 5, and the fact that FTL exists.
>indefinite
Yeah, you have to remember that you'd have to deal with pirates or aliens or whatever in this setting. In addition to whatever title complications you took, since you're not building a ship like this with 100m credits.
For one thing the only energy system that would support your idea is the mana core.

>Yeah, like decades later.
We have no idea how long a stack of spares would last, and I'd rather be safe than sorry and have the capabilities to manufacture my own spares.
>And a factory wing can't build just anything.
There's no indication of a Factory Wing being unable to manufacture more advanced parts. In fact, SDA even recommended having a Factory Wing and Ore Processing Facility if you take The Traveller title.
>And you're forgetting that you need an entire mining industry in addition to your factory wing. You're not going to do much mining with a frigate.
I don't know about that. I have a Compositional Scanner and two Mining Harvesters with all lenses, I think that should provide enough mining capabilities for a frigate to be self-sufficient.
>What's your plan exactly...
What kind of plan are you expecting? None?
That's right, I have none. There's no way to plan for it other than to make sure your ship is self sufficient. Once you go through the wormhole you'll just have to try to determine the right way back and go there. It'll take years, which is exactly why you want Cryosleep. You'll just have to be occasionally woken up by the ship's AI to perform maintenance and repairs. Or you could take a couple of android crew and have them take care of the ship until you make it back.
>I don't think that's a reasonable interpretation
I think it's reasonable since it's written in The Traveller.

Also, I made a mistake. Training Cruisers are CTs and CLTs are Torpedo Cruisers
>>44347103
>We have no idea how long a stack of spares would last
I think it's perfectly reasonable for them to last several years if you fill up an entire cargo bay. Unless you're doing something that keeps destroying the same parts.
Besides, remember than an engineer with an engineering bay can actually manufacture things, it just isn't good for large scale production. In fact, I think it's fair to say that the engineering bay is where the specialty parts would have to come from. You just have to hope it's something that's possible to make in a starship, because if it's too advanced to be made in engineering, it definitely can't be made in a factory wing.
>There's no indication of a Factory Wing being unable to manufacture more advanced parts.
It would be pointless to buy most of the things in the CYOA if it did. Why take titles and dangers when you can just make everything yourself? Yeah, nah, that doesn't make sense.
>In fact, SDA even recommended having a Factory Wing and Ore Processing Facility if you take The Traveller title.
This doesn't mean that the factory can create any kind of product. It just means that you don't need to bring as many basic, easy to manufacture parts with you. Which I've already pointed out earlier.
>You'll just have to be occasionally woken up by the ship's AI to perform maintenance and repairs.
Even if you skim off half the time with cryo, you'll still be working in hellish conditions for years if you take 0 quality of life rooms.
>I think it's reasonable since it's written in The Traveller.
I don't think it's reasonable to hang your explanations for the way things work in this setting on a different setting.
>Yep, I have those.
No you don't. You're in cryo, remember. You can't afford enemies.
>>44346954

>>44347411

>>44347317
>Besides, remember than an engineer with an engineering bay can actually manufacture things
According to the description they can only repair stuff there.
>It would be pointless to buy most of the things in the CYOA if it did. Why take titles and dangers when you can just make everything yourself? Yeah, nah, that doesn't make sense.
I was still only talking about spare parts, of course it shouldn't be game breaking, but it shouldn't be useless either.
>Even if you skim off half the time with cryo, you'll still be working in hellish conditions for years if you take 0 quality of life rooms.
I did take the Crew Quarters Upgrade, I just didn't mention it because it didn't take up a room.
>I don't think it's reasonable to hang your explanations for the way things work in this setting on a different setting.
I'm referring to the title in Star Dust, it's in the bottom left on the first page.
>No you don't. You're in cryo, remember. You can't afford enemies.

ANyone have that 10-years imprisonment CYOA? Or one of its variants, I'm feeling nostalgic for one
>>44347521
>I was still only talking about spare parts
Then we are in agreement about the scope of what the factory and engineering can do, we are in disagreement about how much spare parts and material can be put in a cargo space.
I still think engineering and cargo alone is enough for such a long span of time that bringing a factory along just for the sake of yourself wouldn't be necessary. Other things that you can't replace (like crew members) would start to fail sooner if you went literally for decades without being able to trade for basic supplies.
I think the value of a factory is in things like turning a bigger mining profit or replenishing heavy drone losses. But those strengths don't really shine in a build with a 6 roomed frigate.
>I did take the Crew Quarters Upgrade
That's still just a softer bed.
You have nothing for the crew to do to have fun or unwind. Not even a place where they could meet up and have a party or something.
I doubt very much that you'd be able to survive for more than a year or two at the most before half your crew committed suicide and the other half became either psychotic or useless.
>I'm referring to the title in Star Dust, it's in the bottom left on the first page.
Oh.
Literally what? Are you implying someone would be able to get aboard and steal my Mana Cores?
No, I was saying that you can't afford to spend 70% of your cash just on your energy system. Since you're taking that title it's a lot less significant though.
>>44347665
Uh. No.
>>44347763
>Uh. No.
That's what you think.
>>44347746
>that
>>44347780
No, it's what you think. What the CYOA says disagrees with you.
>>44347807
>What the CYOA says disagrees with you.
Nothing on the CYOA says it isn't, in fact I wouldn't know what else it could be. Just that the AI is developing sapience from some unknown source.
>>44347763
>we are in disagreement about how much spare parts and material can be put in a cargo space.
Not really, I'd just rather be safe than sorry.
>You have nothing for the crew to do to have fun or unwind. Not even a place where they could meet up and have a party or something.
Yep, that's correct, and I do agree it's likely to become a problem.
>No, I was saying that you can't afford to spend 70% of your cash just on your energy system. Since you're taking that title it's a lot less significant though.
Yeah, I'm taking a bunch of high-level titles and contracts, I'm sitting at 893m gained and spent right now.
>>44347830
>Nothing on the CYOA says it isn't
Yes it does. It says that your AI has a personality. In the AI section you can see who the manufacturer of each available AI is. None of them are Herald. Therefore, the AI affected by the Whisperer title can't be Herald made.
>>44347851
>I'd just rather be safe than sorry.
Well yeah. That's the point when trying to get the most essential parts. I just think the factory wing is less essential than several other room types.
So I'd rather be safe than sorry and take one of those instead of the factory. Get it?
>Yeah, I'm taking a bunch of high-level titles and contracts, I'm sitting at 893m gained and spent right now.

Best title. I used to always combine it with the Hellraiser but now I think I like Fatebreaker better than Hellraiser. Specifically because I also like the Traveller, and now that the AI section has been added the Whisperer is also appealing.
>>44348028
I'd go for The Fatebreaker as well if it wasn't for Hhe Sleeper; having an unresting swarm of drones after you constantly sounds fucking terrifying.
>>44347896
>Get it?
Yeah I do, my reasoning is that it's still possible to reach you destination if they crew gets messed up, but there's no way you'll make it if it happened to the ship. But then again, one of those could lead to the other so I suppose they're both valid.

>I'd go for The Fatebreaker as well if it wasn't for Hhe Sleeper; having an unresting swarm of drones after you constantly sounds fucking terrifying.
Both the Guardian and the Sorcerer drawbacks sound a lot worse than the sleeper. And they should be, since the Sleeper gives you less credits and no free crew member.
>my reasoning is that it's still possible to reach you destination if they crew gets messed up, but there's no way you'll make it if it happened to the ship
Well I don't think that the ship needs shiny new parts for every little bump. It can get messed up and worn, it'll still hold together if a competent engineer is holding it together.
Meanwhile if your engineer has a psychotic break after a few years of nothing but empty work, you'll be in bigger trouble.
It's kind of similar to survival situations. The most essential thing in one is to not lose the will to survive, everything else comes after that.

From: Capt. Lestrade, Nathan – Commanding Officer, Carrier Group 17
To: RAdm. Turner, Alex – Commanding Officer, Federation 4th Fleet
Subject: Recent Developments
Sir,
It's all going to shit out here. My whole crew is worried, you can see it in their eyes through the halls. Christ, I try to paint it better, that we can make it through, but at the end of the day, I'm just as scared. The truth is we're cut off and alone out here, and I don't know who to trust. Let me start from the beginning.
Four days ago, Carrier Group 17 was executing a routine patrol in the Scranton System. There was a distress call from a facility on the 3rd Moon of Scranton VI. Air patrols showed no life on the moon and a dropship was dispatched to the facility. There was only one living soul left on the moon, a young girl connected to a mess of gear. She was malnourished and on the brink of death, so the away team was ordered to bring her back to the Valiant.
En route to Archer, our systems received a data spike. I was willing to write it off, but Smertodov, my Cyber Security Head, was paranoid to sift through at all. Orders, and a bounty, for the destruction of the Resolute and the murder of the entire crew. The Resolute was engaged by its own escorts and forced to destroy them. Even my helmsman, Durant, attempted a mutiny on-board my ship. I was forced to take his life with my sidearm. We would have been sitting ducks if not for the girl we had rescued. Somehow, from her bed in the med bay, she knew what was happening, and took the helm of the Resolute, and saved my ship.
We've jumped to Star Dust station now, using what credits I have to repair and re-arm. Hopefully, its neutrality will keep us safe for a time. I'm begging you, any information, any help you can send us, we need it Alex.
Regards and Salutations,
Capt. Nathan Lestrade
ARE YOU SURE YOU WOULD LIKE TO DELETE THIS MESSAGE? [Y/N]: Y_
>>44348207
Help me, fates
So how good would torpedoes be against destroyers and frigates? Would T2 missiles actually be more effective against them?
>>44347746
>>44348461
I would think missile pods are the best defense against torps. That or LLCs.
>>44348631
Not what I was asking. But yeah, torpedoes are so slow that the heavier PDs would probably be the most effective against them. Possibly even autocannons.
has the author of the traveler cyoa been on lately?
>>44348631
>>44348684
I would personally think LLCs would still be best against torpedoes. It's unlikely that they'd have any sort of armor or shields so just hitting them with anything would take them out. And LLCs are the king of point defense when it comes to over all hit chance.
>>44349542
>It's unlikely that they'd have any sort of armor or shields
I don't think it's unlikely. These are pretty huge missiles we're talking about here.
>And LLCs are the king of point defense when it comes to over all hit chance.
That would be missile pods.
>Tfw never get to post in these threads because I end up slowly scrolling through to look at each cyoa
Anyway, what I've wanted to ask for a while is, can people post any funny cyoas? Someone posted a skeleton gangrape one several threads ago and I laughed so hard, which awakened me to the possible genre of comedic cyoa
>>44349674
I don't think there's that many comedic ones. Most of them are either simulationist or raw wish fulfillment.
>>44348207
Points please
>>44349590
>I don't think it's unlikely. These are pretty huge missiles we're talking about here.
So are ICBMs. It's generally not economical to try and armor up something that WILL be destroyed even if it works right. Especially if it works right. And armor would just slow it down which would just make it even easier to shoot down.
>That would be missile pods.
I would say LLC are better at it because of the projectile velocity (light speed) and the much higher fire rate gives you many more chances to shoot it down if one shot should miss.
>>44348207
These would be better without the misogyny, racism, and homophobia. Like, I'm not afraid of black people, feminist or gays so I get free points?
>>44349986
afraid?
getting raped/dealing with stupid isn't being. biased. if you can handle that much utter bullshit, good luck.
>>44349841
>It's generally not economical to try and armor up something that WILL be destroyed even if it works right.
Except lasers and flaks are everywhere in this setting. The smaller missiles probably just have thin housings, but I still don't think the big and slow torpedoes can afford to just get randomly shot down by every ship they fly towards. They probably are armored.
>projectile velocity
Doesn't matter since all of the T1 weapons are incomparably faster than torpedoes.
>fire rate
This is the crux. On one hand the laser is likely going to shine on the torpedo. On the other hand its very low damage is unlikely to damage the torpedo.
This is why the small T1 missiles are likely the best PD against torpedoes specifically. Not only do they have the damage to destroy it with absolute surety, they are also more accurate than the laser.
>>44349674
dark humor-ish?
i got the mars one too
So basically, the next step is to create torpedoes that have their own light laser cannon PD so that they can protect themselves from missile pods.
>>44345899
I don't know what's going on, but do you want the thing of realms? I'm sure I have the doc link around somewhere

I took Fatebreaker which means at one point during our journey the Traveler will kick in so we could be gone years, decades, forever. Romance happens in the workplace.

Got to say that there are some huge power discrepancies in the charging methods.
Money for example is completely busted, all you need to do is keep your wealth under $50,000 by buying charges, regardless of how big or small your income is, and once you've saved up 1000 you can then just use tilt to instawin the lottery and get a shitton more, rinse and repeat.

It's not that hard of a concept to grasp. There are cyoas about becoming a fucking slut and this is the one you penalize?
It's a bit obvious you're just jealous your cyoa wasn't recognizable enough to make it in.
>>44355892
Not that anon, but personally I'm jealous and simultaneously don't think it's a very good CYOA. They're not even really waifus, they just have random numbers attached to random stats with boring descriptions. It doesn't even tell me their fetish.
>>44355109
Not that guy, but the writing and characterization generally isn't evocative at all. Mostly boils down to "wow she strong at thing". Button, Island and Overlord I actually find somewhat interesting for this reason. Also using CYOA titles as names is weird. Ideally, the descriptions would capture the spirit of the original, and the names would just be subtle hints.
I'd try my hand at a rewrite, but I'm not familiar enough with them all to feel like I'd do them justice.

Web browser seems useful for getting rich and pulling scientific discoveries out of thin air, so it's worth considering.

I was making a build for a CYOA when I noticed one of the endgame options was uploading your intelligence, with free reign to visit virtual realities.
Why would you choose anything else? What would be the point of taking any options with post-CYOA repercussions when you could just have a completely malleable reality at your fingertips for, conceivably, until the death of the universe?

Why not? You eat the fish from the ocean despite swimming around in it and all the shit that goes into it, and the water in the pool is even filtered.
>And while I don't think an efficiently laid out greenhouse is very relaxing, it would still be better than steel walls I suppose.
I think the picture looks pretty cozy.
Odd question.
In theory, couldn't aquaculture rooms be used as armour if they were on the outer most hull rooms?
given folks are talking about it here
in SD, do drones count as allied ships or not?
just wondering if all the allied ship bonus upgrades are of any use on a drone carrier
>>44348207
rolll
>>44357204
Because the ocean is huge and has a comparatively huge ecosystem which cleans everything. Meanwhile the fish tank would be cramped and all the crap you'd bring in with you would stay there.
>I think the picture looks pretty cozy.
Look anon, it's a pretty safe thing to say that a "garden" made up of rows and rows of plastic shelves filled with tomato plants wouldn't be enough to keep the crew from going retarded after a few years.
If you make it a nice place to visit then the food production efficiency goes way down. That goes for the fish tank too by the way, you'd probably need to slash the water volume down in half to be able to put in proper pool infrastructure. The best you could get out out of the fish tank without ruining it is a fancy aquarium.
>>44353882
You got that Paladin CYOA that's not on the dropbox?
>>44357236
>all these assumptions
Maybe you're an expert at ecosystems, I'm obviously not. I just assume that they work sufficiently well together since that's what's written in the CYOA.
>decrease in efficiency
Maybe, but it could still be sufficient, even in that case.
>>44357329
Remember that this is a combine aquaculture and hydroponics that's the same size as for example an infirmary fit for a ship with a maximum crew of 9.
Yeah, basically both the "pool" and the "garden" are crammed together into the space of a small bedroom.
See why I think you'd need to leave them alone and not disturb them for them to actually work?

Overlord is near-perfect in everything except magic. Magical Realm is strongest non-risky magic user and has decent vitality. These two complement eachother pretty nicely.
Then again, I hate to have a damn deity as my enemy.
Hmm... I guess it's Deity and Overlord then.

>I just assume that they work sufficiently well together since that's what's written in the CYOA.
Also this. It doesn't say anywhere you can safely swim in it the fish farm, or that the garden is a good replacement for a rec room.
Pointing out my assumptions and ignoring the fact that you're making even bigger ones is kind of dishonest, anon.
>>44357363
depends on the ship, it can also be the size of luxurious suites capable of holding 600 crewmembers in high comfort
>>44357403
The conversation was about a minimum room frigate. Don't bring other contexts into this to confuse things.
>>44357363
>tiny rooms
[citation needed]
Going by the pictures they're pretty massive and a frigate is definitely big enough to have some pretty big rooms.
>infirmary
Even an Advanced infirmary has multiple beds, and those are some pretty massive beds, there's no way it's the size of a small bedroom.
>>44357380

Neither does it say you can't.

I disagree with you on that, my assumptions are simply based on the CYOA while yours are based on reality.

>>44357429
>a frigate is definitely big enough to have some pretty big rooms.
[citation needed]
It can't even have more than 9 people. And no, that's not an average crew size, 9 is the absolute maximume, it could run just fine with a crew of 4 or 5.
It also has a max of 6 rooms.
>Going by the pictures they're pretty massive
The pictures are obviously generic ones for all ship sizes. Big rooms being pictured doesn't mean anything for tiny ships, just like tiny rooms being pictured wouldn't mean that a dreadnought with 7k people would have tiny little rooms that can serve a dozen people at most.
>Neither does it say you can't.
It doesn't need to. It's a fish farm, not a swimming area. If you could do something odd and completely different to the function of a room in it, that would need to be written in.
In fact, the rec room is for swimming areas specifically if you want to go by only what's written.
>I disagree with you on that, my assumptions are simply based on the CYOA while yours are based on reality.
This is further dishonesty. There is no way you could come to the conclusion that you can swim in the fish farm based on only the CYOA for example. That's an assumption based on real life.
The garden being relaxing is also an assumption based on real life. All it says is enjoy the fresh air. If you want an autistic reading of every rule like you seem to, then that only means the quality of the air is better.
>>44357459
So you're saying that an infirmary on a frigate with 12 crew members is the same size as an infirmary on a battleship with 4 thousand people?
>>44357410
backtracked the conversation: the only actual ship I saw named was a destroyer
>>44357459
>>44357476
It was stated in another thread that the size is proportional to the ship hull size chosen. It's assumed.
>>44357429
>Going by the pictures
You can't tell what portion of the inside is made up of available space, though.
>>44357483
See the post linked in >>44345474
The destroyer is being compared to a faster frigate with only 6 rooms instead of 10.
>>44357490
It's not merely assumed. It's implied in the Officer's Quarters description.

You're right, that was a bullshit argument, but
>132m

>It doesn't need to. It's a fish farm, not a swimming area.
A swimming area for fish, there's no reason humans can't swim in it too.
>If you want an autistic reading of every rule like you seem to
No, I don't. I just want a practical reading.

Okay, sure, but look at the other frigates. They all have significantly more crew, room, and hangar space available. Meanwhile what does the grin have? More navigation and weapon slots. It's pretty easy to see that its space is more or less filled up with engines and weapon mounts, not the space for one bigass room. Especially in this instance where hull reductions were used.
>A swimming area for fish, there's no reason humans can't swim in it too.
Except fish don't need a pool type infrastructure and furnishing, they need a tank with nutrients and oxygen, and a very different type of filtration to pools where you can just dump chlorine in. Fish tanks don't need any way to get in and out of the water, to relax outside, they don't need a long and narrow shape for people to swim distances - they just need some volume, etc.
This is still not addressing ruining the crop of fish by swimming in there, by the way.
No, anon, I don't think it's reasonable to treat it as a recreation room. Especially given its small size on the order of the other rooms. Comparison to 9 people infirmary, remember?
>No, I don't. I just want a practical reading.
No you don't. If you wanted a practical reading you'd agree that the way to get a recreational room is getting a recreational room, not trying to bullshit it up with a room that has a completely different function.
I mean, you might as well start arguing that people don't need any recreation because they can go look at the pretty mana discharges the mana core is making or something. Or maybe they can look at the interesting paint patterns on the walls.

Merry christmas CYOA! Love, a friend.
heh with the beatrice R&D drone cost reduction its actually possible to have a build with over 120 scout drones equipped with missile pods
heck current build I'm coming up with 138 missile pods and 4 missile launchers, dunno how that'd compare in damage to a properly build ship but the idea of that sheer swarm of missiles speeding towards any opposition is hilarious
>>44357651
You don't need beatrice to do that.
>>44357604
>No you don't.
Really? I think it would be pretty practical to basically have the functions from three rooms only take up a single room.
To quote SDA from >>44306532

What's in the box
>>44357648
Mystery box
>>44357648
If you put a mystery box in, you don't need any other options.
>>44357667
beatrice does reduce the cost of the build by 124 million so I'd say its pretty much required given its not a cheap build to begin with
>>44357679
>Really? I think it would be pretty practical to basically have the functions from three rooms only take up a single room.
No, a practical reading implies you keep the practicalities of CYOA balance and intent in mind. What you're doing is extreme minmaxing.
>>44357083
>>44357108
A merry christmas indeed, which is why an emblem of teenage self-effacing angst is so disappointing. We all know these threads have decline, but are we really /v/-tier now?
>>44357648
The belt is interesting and the dog is not very reliable but I'll take the BOX.
>>44357708
You're doing it wrong. You should take like 6 cheap carriers if you're doing that.
>>44357648
I'll take the belt thankyou
>>44357722
guess you're right, but if you're going with multi carrier builds beatrice is still preferable since you'll end up with enough space to use regular combat drones instead of scout ones
and multi- carrier builds are not cheap either given you're also spending 30mil in reactors per ship
>>44357783
Here you go. 306 missile pods baby.
>>44357710
>definition of practical
Let's not go down that road.
>intent
>>44306532
>having the function of a 1m room in two rooms that together take up a single room slot and cost 4m
>extreme minmaxing
I can agree that it's min-maxing, but it's pretty mild considering the scale of the CYOA. I'll change it so that I pay for a recreational room and combine it with Hydroponics/Garden.
>>44357804
If you ask me you should consider this exercise interesting but not a viable ship. If you want a 25 nav frigate you should consider one of the other hulls that give you a lot more space and can still reach the same speeds.
>>44357794
>still uses Beatrice origin
my point exactly, without that origin your build would be around 300 mil more expensive
also that's prolly for an older version of the CYOA given now you also get a 20% discount on same size additional ships
>>44357828
I said that you can make the same build without beatrice, which is still true, since if you have only one carrier you aren't really minmaxing the drone numbers.
>>44357648
10/10, would do next year.
Shapeshifter belt to make me look slightly better. The orb is useless, I already know my perfect match.

So wait, does the belt change you into what you most desire or what people in general most desire?
>>44357837
true enough still I'd say using beatrice origin for any form of drone swarm build is less minmax and more common sense
>>44357863
YOU HAVE PICKED RED BOX
It contains one (1) ornament
