Rlaan starfortress got blasted

A home for tales of personal killcounts and engagements between vast armadas, as well as the odd recounting of that time you saw an alien capship taking out a mining base while trying to parallel park.

Rlaan starfortress got blasted

Post by RParhan »

Hahaha I can't stop laughing after what just happened to me, I was docking in a Rlaan Starfortress when suddenly an uln llama starts attacking me...
Those starfortresses are a bit weird to get into, trough all the triangle openings to the center of it.

Anyway I was already inside and this llama keeps attacking, but ofcourse he kept hitting the starfortress because I was inside...

I don't know what exactly happened, did the llama crash into the fortress or kill it? but suddenly there was a huge explosion, I was luckily still alive, but badly damaged. and the fortress and lama were blown to pieces.

Crazy stuff...

The Rlaan starfortress is tricky to dock with for sure i remember one inside an asteroid field that i had to get to in the escape pod while the station was under attack the asteroids made dodging fire easier but i still didn't make it bumped the docking tunnel and blew up :lol:

Enjoy the Choice :)

Just out of curiosity, are the Rlaan bases up for redesign? The Rlaan are not quite sane by human standards, but those entrances are stretching things, and don't really take away from the fact that the bases are just tetrahedra...

Not JUST tetrahedra, but EMPTY tetrahedra.

I gave the suggestion a few weeks ago that we atleast move the docking point to the first tetrahedron entrance to make it a little more SANE.

Hmm. Maybe Fendorin's models could be used, in spite of my earlier criticisms. Perhaps a slight color change could make them look more Rlaan, and maybe the addition of more radiator spines to the big one?
