I've thought about the arguments before, but I think m4r35n357 is right in that, although NPC's cannot have one, the player can carry only one (I wouldn't object to leveling the playing field by slightly decreasing the E-bomb's power so that some of the stronger ships can survive and allowing NPC's to have them) .El Viejo wrote:Yep, they've been removed... sort-of.

Why? What about the poor old NPCs faced with 20 bandits? Shouldn't they have the same advantages/disadvantages you do?CommRLock78 wrote:...because whenever you're faced with 20 some odd bandits out to turn your Iron Ass into scrap, help should be just a TAB away
I don't mind the challenge, I just need to learn to leg it like you say when I'm overwhelmed and not bull-headedly and fool-heartedly jump into attack modeSmivs wrote:Why?

Anyway, disembodied's point about escape capsules is a good one, and of course that's also what fuel injectors are for. A lot of the skill in playing Oolite is knowing when to call it a day and leg it!
Also considering the core game will never give you 20 bandits to deal with, I have to repeat one of my mantras - If you can't cope with what the OXPs you've installed throw at you, you've got the wrong OXPs installed
. But there's something fun about 20 orange marks on the radar - I guess it's an adrenaline rush

) I've always carried an Escape Pod, but I've never actually used it. I think I'm probably better off fleeing as Smivs suggests, since this commander goes down with his ship

I think I am going to remove the 'true' and get used to no energy bombs on the computer with the trunk, it's a good decision - but it's going to make whacking Supergrass Bi Xea'nu a real challenge
