Beer Cooler
My beer cooler got damaged in a fight - teach me to deviate from my standard strategy of hanging back and then running away!
Such a horrendous insult couldn't be left unanswered, so I did get the miscreants in the end.
Took me an age to mop up all the Ringwood Best that had splattered my cockpit

Re: Beer Cooler
Ha, that's the really great thing about the beer cooler - it takes the hits and preserves more useful and more expensive equipment which would otherwise get damaged.

Re: Beer Cooler
Heh.. most of the time, my useful and expensive kit nobly sacrifices itself to save the beer cooler!

Yeah... this has been my experience. The damn beer-cooler hasn't taken one hit yet!Diziet Sma wrote:Heh.. most of the time, my expensive kit nobly sacrifices itself to save the beer cooler!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

I don't understand this. The beer cooler is already the most useful equipment on my ship.Smivs wrote:Ha, that's the really great thing about the beer cooler - it takes the hits and preserves more useful....

Re: Beer Cooler
The Cooler is very useful for keeping my bottles of tonic water on ice too. I find gin doesn't stain the cockpit anywhere near as badly as beer does when an impolite Python pirate makes me spill my drink.

Re: Beer Cooler
On a side note:
Could anyone be so nice and pick up a couple Kegs of Wyvern Special at Beesor and take them to Biramabi?

Re: Beer Cooler
I just wanted to say that's quite a shame about your beer cooler .
since we are talking about the OXP, if I upgrade my ship, will the beer cooler go with me?

Re: Beer Cooler
It didn't for me - I had to shell out a whole new 10 Cr to buy another one! I did remember to take all my beer out of my old one before I part-ex'ed the ship though

Re: Beer Cooler
That is some crap. I demand the maker of the oxp make the ship part transferable! It is ridiculous that you will need to work so hard to find and afford this piece of equipment only to have it taken away when you upgrade your ship!Commander Tricky wrote:It didn't for me - I had to shell out a whole new 10 Cr to buy another one!

Re: Beer Cooler
Duuh! Can't you just hire tech to remove it, then install it on your new ship? Of course the work can cost you...

Re: Beer Cooler
It is very specific to the ship and not easily uninstalled. If I recall correctly though, you can sell it if you have the equipment sale OXP.FSOneblin wrote:That is some crap.

Re: Beer Cooler
The problem is the Beer Cooler needs to be plumbed in to the Phlogiston-flux super-coolant system, which then needs re-callibrating. If the Beer Cooler is just removed the subspace plasma thermo-regulator would go into an inversion phase and the ship would explode as soon as it entered hyperspace.

I knew it could be used as a real weapon, you just have to send it near the other ship on a missile.Smivs wrote:....the Beer Cooler ...... would go into an inversion phase ........ the ship would explode as soon as it entered hyperspace.
