The Pit / Re: Boarding. Aussie style.

Well koala suicide bomber boarding was the initial idea, then it went to crocodile launchers, then we settled on regular suicide bombers. Lovex is an Aussie so it stayed "Aussie Style"

JUST GIMME CROCODILE LAUNCHERS! They sound too awesome not to be in game. Or in this world.

General Discussion / Re: What makes a good captain?

I'm only beggining at this game, so I didn't try to be a captain yet. However, I've met some really nice captains along the way. What they did that helped me do my job was:
-Not being nervous. Just calm, maybe a little nervous but nothing more than that. When our ship was destroyed, our captain's reaction was "Oh well. We will get them next time"
-Being really communicative. Casual talk helps, but mostly it was about what he wanted to get done. And also WHO he wanted to get that done.
As a crew member, what I noticed that helped my captain was really telling him (and the whole crew) the progress on the task he asked. Sure, he could check himself that the hull had been repaired, but it is just so much easier when I just *say* it. This helps him to focus on other issues, since there are always plenty of them.
