It's been a while since someone's posted here, but I just want to put this down somewhere.

When I say "I've lost eyes!" or "I've got no eyes!" I don't mean some deranged madman has broken into my house and scooped my eyeballs out with a spoon. I don't mean my monitor went into sleep mode, either.

I'm implying "on target" at the end if those statements. I'm basically saying that I was looking elsewhere when that Squid dove into a cloud, or that I missed weather that Mobula went up or down to dodge our ram.

You guys can now stop with the awkward silences and strange looks when I shout this.

I do the same thing Kirk, the same exact thing.  "Get eyes on that bird on my 6 screw monkey!"  "Put eyes on that squid and ace the port screw".

Burning! - Usually means one of two things. I'm using kerosene or we're on fire. Either way Engies should be on duty to decipher what I mean.

NONONO

babysit means "sit in front of x component (usually hull, sometimes balloon) and repair it nonstop."

As in: "Keon, you're main engie; babysit the hull unless I'm burning the engines.

Eh, sorry Keon, guess we have different ways to express that word.

1.  the act of jumping from a pyramidions catwalk to assist in repairs, then moving back upto a gun.
   "Engineer 2, teabag the hull".
2.  The act of standing at a station while not engaged, waiting for a reactionary response.
   "I'm going to teabag the hull unless we take a hit to the engines".

Babysitting- Adverb

Tea bagging to me refers to the downward style rams that have become so popular since the patch which makes the balloon take more impact damage than the hull. As in:
"We are under his carronade's field of fire for now, use this time to repair.... Oh god he is tea bagging us!"

True.

When I'm flying one of my fire ships, my command for my crew to begin song things on fire is: Burninate them!

If I'm going for a ram, I announce "'bout to poke!"

And if I 'accidentally' collide with a stationary object, it's a 'tactical bounce'.

I do it just to dispel any doubt of what happened.
