What are the ethics for your ship's leader? ... and why?

Here's mine: Kaptian Karl leans (way) toward the Rebellion, philosophically. We BLAST any Pirate we ecounter because we despise "takers". We WILL attack a fellow trader if he is hostile. (And sometimes, "What a waste of time" in his comm IS perceived as hostility.) We "strategically" run from, rather than fight, the Confeds ... to preserve our status for trading. (Once all Confeds label us as FELON, we blast the opressors, too. We will even loot the Confed cargo convoys at that point.) We LIKE to help the Rebellion and the Turin Miners as much as we can. We do courier work only when it will not too severely disrupt our pre-planned jumps. We will try to aid other traders under attack from Pirates or Confeds. We NEVER evacuate civilians to save them from Rebellion invasion, but WILL deliver emergency medical supplies to Confed sympathizers with Sajak's. If a Pirate Defender and a Confed Fighter are battling, we are "spectators" ... then we annihilate the victor! HA HA HA HA!!!
Does your ship have rules to "live, fight and die" by...?

------------------
Let's see what this button does....

As for Me, Captain Carnotaur:

1-BLAST THE DAYLIGHTS out of every single Confed ship we see without mercy! Die die die Confeds!

2-Reduce every single Pirate station, ship, bar, person, planet to space dust.

3-Sympethize (way way way way way way way way way much) with the Rebellion.

4-Dominate EVERY SINGLE LONE PLANET IN THE CONFED EMPIRE!

5-Smush all traders to get money.

6-Watch Pirates and Confeds battle it out and then nullify the victor(i.e. blast it back to the stone age)!!

7-Fighting Confeds is never fair, Rebels always get the advantage.

8-When the Confeds want you to drop Nukes on Palshife, you drop them onto the Confed presidents lap in New Washington on Earth, and then watch the fireworks.

9-Remind all Confed pilots that life is short by blasting their fused hull into another demension.

10-Drop firebombs on Capella.

11-Hide snakes and frogs in the Confed presidents bed.

12-Squish every single Confed gunboat you see and then remind the Confeds that the Gunboat stinks.

13-Annihilate all Pirate and Confed fleets.

14-Get a particle beam from the Confeds and then give it to the Rebels, then tell the Confeds "Finders Keepers".

15-Capture and tickle Confed pilots until they die.

16-Think up lots of nasty little ways to annoy and pester the Confeds.

17-Send 40 space bombs into the midst of Cydonian fleets, get some pop corn, and watch the fireworks.

18-Give captured Confed cruisers to the Lethes and Rebels.

19-Remind Consolidated Express that they should send all deliveries in Kestrels (by reducing their couriers to burnt out hulks).

20-Give Starbound Express couriers particle beams and neutron blasters.

21-Give the Rebels a plug-in called "(url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl?path=ev/cheats&file;=EVMaxCheater.sit.bin")EV Max Cheater(/url)" where you got from some planet called the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiaSW.com/games/ev/addons.html")EV Addons Page(/url).

22-Make a telephone call to Aztec HQ and tell them to watch the skies for falling space bombs.

23-Come up with lists like this one.

(This message has been edited by Captain Carnotaur (edited 01-08-2001).)

Here's mine: Nova6 leans (way way way way) toward the Rebels. We BLAST any Pirate, Confed, Aztec, and Cydonian within weapons rang! (And I have a BIG rang) We will ANNIHILATE ANY Confed-freindly ship even if it's a SHUTTLECRAFT!!!!! We don't run, we don't hide, we RUTHLESSLY DESTROY ALL CONFED WARSHIPS WITHOUT MERCY!!!!!! MWA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!!!! catches breath We LOVE to do help the Rebels as much as possible! And, no matter what the cost, we will NOT help ANY Consolidated Express dude who wants us to ship cargo from one planet to another! And if we see a Confed fighter and a Rebel Manta fighting, we will sit in front of the Confed fighter and launch Space Bombs!!!!!! MWA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!!!!

------------------
Long live the Rebellion!

I have slightly less radical rules.

LEAVE the Rebels and Confeds to thenselves
If the Confederation wins, we'll have a corrupt oligary again
If the Rebels win, in 20 years we'll just have another corrupt Confederation
See "I've seen the Light!" for details
DEMOLISH any pirates ships you see

AID any traders being attacked by anyone

MURDER any pirate that tries to talk you into smguling drugs, rescuing him, etc.

DESTROY any enemies of the Artimes Group

DOMINATE anyone who doesn't like it(Pirates)

15-Capture and tickle Confed pilots until they die.

Kaptain Karl is dismayed at your extremism. What is the universe coming to, that you would
stoop to such cruel and unusual punishment? (Sigh...)

------------------
Let's see what this button does....

15-Capture and tickle Confed pilots until they die.

Next I'll hear you advocating (those diabolicle) Wet Willy's :eek: !!!

Seriously though, what CODE drives your battle/trade/mission behavior?

------------------
Let's see what this button does....

I destroy all the confed ships, (when a confed cruiser comes i run like hell)
and attacking and stealing money from pirates, never dominate planets even pirate
planets because then the bounty hunters come looking for me, and destroying the
cydonians

------------------
if I have asked a question, please reply

I kill confeds...kill rebels....Steal Rebel ships cuase they have the best ships...Help out the pirates....dominate independants and give em to pirates...anything in a system i jump in dies...and i load up on all the passengers i can...take off and dump my cargo MUHAHA!!! Oh and i accept rebel and confed missions till the aliens come and dont kill em soo they creat havoc with me.....and i kill the escorts they send along....I'm all around moral.

In response to that...

1-Always shoot Confeds even if you're in a shuttlecraft (though watch out for Frigates and big ugly cruisers).

2-Nothing is "Fair". Rebels always should have the advantage in my mind.

3-Never help the Confeds.

4-Always help Rebels.

5-ALWAYS violate Confed Naval Code.

6-Never listen to Confeds.

7-Accept as many rush cargo missions as you can and try to make them all.

8-All independent trader ships are fair game. Disabling and boarding them is not outlawed (who cares what independent planets think!).

9-If you can help the Rebels, help them. Don't wait to help them just help them.

10-Always try to accept "Drive off Pirate fleet" missions and hope there is a Rebel destroyer or Confed frigate in the area.

Okay, I think I got it.... You are ANTI Confed and Pirate and PRO Rebellion. And your number 10 gives us some idea of your CODE. You will aid in the irradication of Pirates -- even when you are placed at risk in doing so. (Your sense of honor reminds of the Klingons. I hope that was not an insult....)

1. Reduce every pirate, Confed, and independent trader to nothing more than slag. As soon as I take their money, of course.

2. Demand tribute from Earth, then jump out of the system, go back, and do it again just to get a "galactic scourge" rating.

I only kill 'feds if they attack first-unless I want a cruiser for an escort!

2-Reduce every single Pirate station, ship, bar, person, planet to space dust.
AFTER I get any goodies from the outfitter's!
3-Sympethize (way way way way way way way way way much) with the Rebellion.
One can NEVER sympathize too much with the good guys!
4-Dominate EVERY SINGLE LONE PLANET IN THE CONFED EMPIRE!
Takes away from helping the Rebel's and killing pirate scum.
5-Smush all traders to get money.
I was independent at one time.
6-Watch Pirates and Confeds battle it out and then nullify the victor(i.e. blast it back to the stone age)!!
Kill pirates. Period.(after plundering, of course)!
7-Fighting Confeds is never fair, Rebels always get the advantage.
The only good 'fed is a cruiser escort!
8-When the Confeds want you to drop Nukes on Palshife, you drop them onto the Confed presidents lap in New Washington on Earth, and then watch the fireworks.
Anybody have a problem with this?
9-Remind all Confed pilots that life is short by blasting their fused hull into another demension.
Once they attack first, all who attack me, DIE!
10-Drop firebombs on Capella.
Not unless they piss me off bad.
11-Hide snakes and frogs in the Confed presidents bed.
Anyone disagree with this?
12-Squish every single Confed gunboat you see and then remind the Confeds that the Gunboat stinks.
Same answer as 9 above.
13-Annihilate all Pirate and Confed fleets.
All pirates die. 'feds only if necessary.
14-Get a particle beam from the Confeds and then give it to the Rebels, then tell the Confeds "Finders Keepers".
I like your thinking on this.
15-Capture and tickle Confed pilots until they die.
What a concept! I like this.
16-Think up lots of nasty little ways to annoy and pester the Confeds.
By helping the Rebellion!
17-Send 40 space bombs into the midst of Cydonian fleets, get some pop corn, and watch the fireworks.
Can I bring my camcorder? Please?
18-Give captured Confed cruisers to the Lethes and Rebels.
After I keep one for an escort!
19-Remind Consolidated Express that they should send all deliveries in Kestrels (by reducing their couriers to burnt out hulks).
I don't have a problem with this, either.
20-Give Starbound Express couriers particle beams and neutron blasters.
See 19 above.
21-Give the Rebels a plug-in called "EV Max Cheater" where you got from some planet called the EV Addons Page.
See 20 above.
22-Make a telephone call to Aztec HQ and tell them to watch the skies for falling space bombs.
Make sure the call is made from ABOVE THEIR PLANET as you are dropping them!
23-Come up with lists like this one.
Very good list.

That's pretty much my code, too. I will say it gets tedious hammering on those pirate
defenders. They are like mosquitos. I still swat 'em.

------------------
Let's see what this button does....

I have very simple rules, friends.

Fair means I win.

If you hire me, your job gets done...always.

If you attack me, you die...always.

There is no ship i have not killed consistently.

Confed Cruisers are no problem - the bigger they come, the harder they fall.

I've even beaten the Clavius and Beyond series.

Simple, see?

So have I. The mission are tough, sure, but so is the Krog(anyone else notice that it's better than the Nuteronic Kesteral?). The Laser Beam is almost as damaging as 3 Nuteron Turrents, it's tougher, a little slower but more manuverable, and it has a lightning bay :D.
