A beer can fired from a railgun would do some real damage...

Re: Beer Cooler
Sacrilege! That's no way to treat perfectly good beer!
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Re: Beer Cooler
Does the Beer Cooler actually do anything special apart from being listed as in your equipment inventory. I brought one and that's it. It doesn't appear to be doing anything. It's not like it could really cool real beer for you while your playing.
Right on Commander!!

Yeah, think of it as cannon fodder... much like the ship's cat (poor Lord Effingham)!Commander Mick wrote:Does the Beer Cooler actually do anything special apart from being listed as in your equipment inventory.

Did you find a new kitty-cat yet, Cody?

Re: Beer Cooler
I'd like to have seen Lord Effingham's reaction to being called a 'kitty-cat' - extreme clawed violence comes to mind! He was a one-eyed, raggedy-eared old tom!Diziet Sma wrote:Did you find a new kitty-cat yet, Cody?
And no, I haven't replaced him yet - perhaps one will sneak aboard Mercurial Amethyst sometime soon.

Re: Beer Cooler
Indeed you don't/can't 'replace' a cat. Each is an individual and is therefore irreplaceable. Normally after such a loss some time passes, then when you are ready and if you are fortunate you may be adopted by another.

Re: Ship's cat
A haughty Siamese, improbably named Empedocles, has snuck aboard Mercurial Amethyst with a cargo of Arzaquarian megaweed - he has a penchant for the stuff!
