	Captain Zyrain enters the sector. Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

This how my day went yesterday. I was doing course plots and accidently hit the wrong buttons. Usually I type faster than the stuff displays.

(clip from the game)


Computer command [TL=02:47:15]:[2739] (?=Help)? F
What is the starting sector [2739] ?
What is the destination sector? 1009

Computed.

The shortest path (9 hops, 18 turns) from sector 2739 to sector 1009 is:
2739 > 1773 > 1719 > (2737) > (3672) > (1270) > (2113) > (1122) > (693) >
(1009)


Computer command [TL=02:47:10]:[2739] (?=Help)? Q



Command [TL=02:47:08]:[2739] (?=Help)? : F


You have 99 fighters available.
Your ship can support up to 300 Fighters, leaving 0
How many fighters do you want defending this sector? 1009


...as your fighters deploy within Federation space, they are immediately
annihilated by a VERY powerful phaser array from the Federation StarShip
the Intrepid. The monstrous bulk of the cruiser fills your viewscreen
and its warning message blares throughout your ship.

"Try that again and you'll get the same! You should know the regulations
about using arms in the Federation!"

Your battle officer reports loss of 10% of your fighters and 10% of your
holds. It seems the Intrepid was very careful in it's attack and could have
done much MORE damage.

Q: Can one launch a torpedo into Fedspace, to disable cloaking, for example?

Q: Can someone launch a torpedo *from* Fedspace, either into an adjacent Fedpsace sector or a non-fedpsace sector?

If you can't tell, I've never been in a game with photons before.

I know you can't leave figs in FedSpace.... I hit wrong button.

However, Zyrain shouldn't have come, because I didn't have 1009 fighters to place??? What if I tried placing 0 fighters in FedSpace? Would he still come?

I'm could also try placing more fighters than I have in another sector outside fedspace and see what it does. That is too wierd.

Oh well, I should be careful at what buttons I push. Sometimes at the main stardock menu I hit the wrong button, and I lose 1/2 million credits.... not very funny.

Burbel: You probably can't launch photons into FedSpace. (Never tried though)

You cannot launch Photon Missiles into Fed space.

I am not sure about the second one, but I think that might be possible.

hehe half a million credits to the muggers at stardock? Well, that's more than I carry around at any one time, but with all the smaller contributions I've made I'm sure they are the wealthiest NPC's in the game
