This one comes so soon because it was short and horrible. And I blame @Jokuc.

Anyway, I started my epic space journey with @~Chaotic Discord~ and @Lady Rarity Pony as my faithful crew members.

To add more random funniness, and to simulate some sort of voting among the crew, I rolled dice to make certain decisions. As such, I rolled a 7 and began the game by upgrading my sensors, which is actually not a bad idea. Advanced sensors are pretty useful.

~CD~ was tasked with maintain the shields, while LRP was manning the weapons.

We also voted to ignore some weak-ass slavers for some reason, too. Not sure why, because we could've easily taken them and probably rescued someone for a free crew member, but whatever. This was made worse, because soon after that, we were told we weren't good enough to help in a daring attack on the Rebels. Bitches.

Anyway, I got to take out my anger on some Mantis...

And kicking these guy's collective asses...

We then happened upon a rebel fighter, and came very close to suffocating them all to death and then picking their bodies. Not quite, though. They managed to fix their stupid life support systems before they all died, and I had to just blow them out of the sky.

To continue the good news, we found some free shit floating in the middle of space for no reason

Soon after that, we rescued Jokuc from a fire (it says Nazia, but then I checked my profile and Jokuc was the first in the list of randomly selected friends, so it's actually Jokuc).

But it seems rescuing Jokuc was a bad idea, because soon after that, we decided to sell our missile launcher and spend all our money on a bigger one. One that loaded half as fast, and we were low on missiles anyway. In any case, 'twas a bad idea. Also, we didn't have enough money for fuel:

Then when we ran straight into an asteroid field, with level one shields, against a Zoltan ship with Zoltan shields

That sucked

...but apparently it didn't suck enough for Jokuc, because then we very conveniently got boarded in the middle of nowhere despite there being no ships nearby.

Jokuc...

And then...

...we died

I'll probably do some more FTL runs, maybe with a little less "roll dice to see if we do something stupid".

After midterms are over, of course.
