alex: oh, you know - thrills, spills, jokes, japes, jitters, flitters...an ancient machine race that makes the borg look positively benign by comparison launching a crusade against organic life just business as usual *and with that, he lifts his head up and blows out a stream of purple smoke*
alex: of course not...it wasn't a bluff, they actually DID invade earth - but there's nothing i can do about it right now because between the terrans, tzenkethi and hur'q, i don't have the forces to send even a small pack (the lunari name for fleets...by the way, it's called the lunari imperium now; simple and obvious, but…
*alex leans back in the chair, sighs, muzzleplants on the desk for several minutes, then gets up, grabs a 'Bane stick and lights it up, taking a long drag of it before flaming back to the holodeck*
alex: well, at any rate, i can't do anything right now - shepard and the SA will have to hold out...be safe, admiral - if the reapers show up, pack up and leave immediately; don't try and hold the gate...we can't let them have a direct access to the milky way for their fleet, even though some of it is already here - send…
alex: i'll have to think on it...my forces are already being worn thin by the hur'q, plus the prior conflict with the tzenkethi and the most recent terran incursion (which, cartwright may know about the latter, but he may not know about the former - it depends on how often updates make it out there)
alex: part of me feels like i should send a small task force to aid anyone attempting to escape the reaper invasion - especially given it will have the side effect of pissing udina and the salarians off, both because my forces are there and because they can't do anything about it now that the reapers have come out in the…
(i thought ships were supposed to always be synchronized to a standardized time set by whatever faction that ship belongs to - it always seemed that way in most sci-fi, but then they never really touched on that subject in any of them) alex: well, things are going to be going straight to hell over there once the council…
(isn't that 1 in the morning? it wasn't that late when the possession happened because everyone was still awake, and the attack would've already been underway of course, stellar drift over the course of millions of lightyears could easily affect times)
alcohol and drugs are used to blot out pain - usually mental between humanity becoming post-scarcity and advances in medical techniques combined with the death of big pharma under a wave of nuclear fire meaning the root causes of issues like that can actually be permanently FIXED instead of just the symptoms being…
alex: the attack, if it happened, happened last night, by earth standard time - someone should've alerted the council by now...unless no one made it out of the system
alex: no, i'm not sure - that's why i called you! you're the one stationed at stranha mechty (i don't remember if that's how it's spelled...if it isn't - bite me)
or it would be a conventional explosion with massive radioactive contamination of the surrounding environment, like how nuclear reactors ACTUALLY work when safety systems fail
either - they both come with the ships; the premium just comes with extra gamble-based junk like R&D promo packs, phoenix boxes, some lobi, an insultingly small amount of dilithium, some other things i can't remember and a title you can use to broadcast to the entire game that you are crosis and you are made of money (for…
it isn't 2 ship slots per character, no - but it IS 5 boxes of 2 slots each that are account bankable; so anywhere from 1-5 characters can make use of those slots assuming you HAVE the account bank unlocked, obviously
i don't think so - the t'liss (or whatever they're calling it in picard) is far too small to be a carrier - unless this is a grossly upscaled version like the xyston is an upscaled version of an ISD
if you don't want to spend a billion EC, the legendary donnie from the legendary bundle also unlocks the tactical flyers for purchase - account-wide, too, as opposed to the one federation character you'd get with the R&D version of the donnie; still pricey, granted - espcially if you only want the pets for ONE character,…
alex: finally...cartwright, what the hell is going on over there? we had an instance of reaper possession on the exeter - which i only just found out about, 12 hours later *he adds, still pissed off about not being informed immediately* and i'm hearing that the reaper fleet attacked the earth over in andromeda?
20 days is 6 days past the cutoff point for the sale, so if you actually DO want the pack at its current price, you will will have to drop many, MANY pennies on it or just construct additional pylons for added dil refinement capability, but you won't have enough time for that - not for this, anyway, but at least it will…
they're permanent (as far as anyone knows) but they aren't constant; the store will only ever have a few items at any one time, and the inventory is constantly being cycled in and out
