Well, have you ever had one of those days...

where almost every time one of your ships that has two firecons (not 1
or 3, or 4) makes a threshold check - usually the first - they _both_
fail!

Once or twice I could live with :-(

If I'd lost them to Needle Beams I'd be really upset - as there were no
Needle Beam equiped ships in play :-)

Phantom Needle Ships? Methinks I detect the fetid stench of...

The Bavarian Illuminati!

Well, that *really* would upset one won't it? <grin>

That'll teach you....

I've really got to update those pages, and add the stats for the Mind Control
Laser System while I'm at it. And maybe the >Fnord< bombs, if I can ever
figure out what they actually *do*.

Which of them is right? Who can say?

But to be slightly serious, I've been doing a lot of ship designing over the
past few weeks. I'm going to run a game or two with some new Illuminati ship
designs, and see how they work out in practice. "Badly" would be my guess, but
you never know.

While in Chicago recently, I think I came across a manifestation of our
Bavarian friends. Lou Malnati's Pizza. Say it fast. <Fnord> I truly GREAT
pizza.
