battle stations = below decks on a mobula

"make yourself useful" = I don't know what specifically needs doing

Mine are:

front guns = front of a Squid or Pyramidion regardless of what they are

"Flames flames flames" or "flame on" = flamethrower regardless of where it is

Nitro = kerosene or moonshine

hull bitch = not the gungineer

"All according to plan" = thanks for pulling my ass out of there after I burned my engines by leaving the kerosene on"

"AHH ASIAN DRIVER" = sorry for moonshine-dashing straight into that cliff

I always enjoy it when my captain has his own terminology for stuff. In a way, it adds to the game's personality. Post your captain-speak here!

General Discussion / Lecturing Newbies

« on: July 21, 2014, 05:04:55 am »

When the game loads in and I have anyone on my ship who's below level 4, I like to give a short lecture about how to crew my ship. Sometimes even at level 3, people need to be told basics. The thing is that sometimes people don't like being condescended to this way, and I feel bad when I realize that's what I'm doing.

Does anyone else have a policy of treating their crew like newbies "just to be safe?" What do you think the best policy is?
