Let's Play PirateZ! (0.9c) Research Poll! (any Help?)
« Reply #60 on: April 19, 2015, 12:24:34 am »
Ok. The research options are a bit mind boggling!  I have over 20 techs available, and not a really good idea of what is useful now or later.   I have created a strawpoll and would love some advice!
Thanks!!

Cheers! Ivan :D

Edit:  Thanks Everyone for Helping me sort out some good Research!! :D

You might try your luck on Data Discs, these are only 5 scientist-days on average, but the results may range from awesome to pretty much useless. Also a protip: you might want to pull out one of your assault rifles off the 'ventura and research it :) (but only if you want to take the firearms route).
Also, Slave AI / Nuclear Fuel / Ship Engine researches are noticeably longer than the others.

Overall:
Niculinux and Simone's characters still are in the solid lead... posthumously, while Jstank's Stanky Cap managed to get to third place while staying alive. Amongts the living, Meridian's Cutlass Jo is close second, while the rest of the gals got a solid score boost, putting them on the level of Stabby Rock Sis, who is missing her 2nd mission now. How likely is Cutlass Jo to keep her 2nd place is unknown, but probably unlikely, considering how she managed to blast herself with her own RPG and will spend over a month in the sickbay.

Pretty everyone who managed to get really heroic acts ended up dead in that Hideout Defense. Might be a lesson for the new people :) Stealthy Cuttlefish's promising career has been cut short, but she will be remembered for not letting the Guild Engineer die, who was maybe the most important prize of this mission (aside from loads of money). Neptune's Nook's Galbrush Threepwood got the first Slaver rank, with capturing of a Guild Rep no less, but was likewise cut down in short order. These two who died young provided hope for a better future for everyone who survived!

EDIT: Also everyone from the starting crew got the "Career Rank: Comrade" (+5 points) for surviving 1 full month (you have to see 2 monthly reports for it to count as a full month).

EDIT: Aaand updated for the latest LP. Wily Tomcat made the best score of all the fresh bloods on this mission (12), congratulations!

Let's Play OpenXcom PirateZ! Ep #011: Slavery!




Moral Dilemmas!

So, as I understand it, slaves carry -1.5 space, so say, ten slaves would give you effectively 15 storage space.    Is this more efficient than a Vault?

Cheers, Ivan :D

Updated the scoreboard! Not much has happened yet, but:
- Gank Plank (Pilot00) gained a bunch of points, mainly by getting the Mostly Harmless killer rank, and managed to jump from 6th to 4th place, with 4 points lead over Minty Muffin (Justamuffinlover) and a 13 points loss to One-Eyed Priss (Hobbes). She might yet grab that 3rd place, with a nice scar and Purple Heart waiting if she survives this mission!
- Blonde Jasmine got Dangerous Desires misdeed (+2) for putting her desire to catch slaves over her own life :)

All the veterans will be also due for Experienced mission rank (6 missions)... if they survive, naturally :)

Hi Ivan! Just started to watch this LP and it's awesome as usual :) Already at #9! o.O

Favourite moment: throwing molotov cocktails :D
Take that! Oh?! Didn't light it up?! PLEASE!! Don't throw it back! (If only they would.. that'd be hilarious)

I've got a gal who'd like to join the crew too: Martian Max

(If you don't know where she's from, checkout the Romulus Buckle series. Especially if you like post-alien invasion piratical steampunk mayhem! and why wouldn't you?)

I'm looking forward to seeing Max's adventures raiding the Star Gods' & friends!

Romulus Buckle, or rather The Chronicles of the Pneumatic Zeppelin, is a weird swashbuckling series of novels (2 out so far, 3rd coming soon). It is set in LA after "Martians" came by and destroyed most of civilization. The population is surviving in clans. They fell back on steam power and fly about in zeppelins(!). But some have more technology than others... Made me think of Piratez immediately and when looking for a pirate lass name, the choice was easy.

It's not the next grand classic of this age, but I found it highly entertaining and so different from other fantasy or sci-fi, it is very refreshing. Worth giving it a shot I'd say. If you like Piratez' setting, you might well like those novels.
