Strictly (Duke) Springer - Day 070 – March 10th.

We take another day of RRR to get the Antelope patched up.

Why is it so important to have undamaged ships? If you attempt to enter hyperspace with a damaged ship, you have a 1 in six of being destroyed, per hit. More than 5 hits and you are automatically destroyed on jumping.

There is also another form of risk, being to close to a planet. Jumping from the surface has a 5 in 6 chance of destroying the ship. From low orbit, an asteroid or a space station, it drops to 4 in six. Each level of out reduces this number by one. Four levels of "out" is a zero chance.

Why take any of those chances?

Today, I realized that I didn't update the record sheets for the Alicorn and Antelope and now they are a complete hash. I will have to go over my inventory and fix them both.

Rather than plug another product, would you mind taking some time to answer a poll for an upcoming product?

Here is the poll link.
