Destroying slaver transports

[Dusty Lens]

I've always found the subject of hiding behinds one's slaves to be a rather sad affair.

Oh no! But if you blow me up you'll kill 5000 people! If you don't let me go you'll be a murderer and will probably have to commit suicide lol!

It's never 5100 people, or how many folks you have dancing around in that ship of yours. Its never your ship getting blown up. Its never you sitting on a command deck looking out the viewscreen at a flotilla of ships which are about to spank your day.

It's always just your cargo hold. Which they better not touch because they'll be evil for doing it. Oh. No.

The whole song and dance speaks of something a tad sillier to me. What happened to you pilgrim getting razed to the ground? What happened to CR troops storming the burning wreck and putting a blaster to the back of your head?

Oh, that's right, you'll just hit the respawn button.

Givent he hundreds of other weights that could be roaming through your head at the time it seems unfair to put the pressure of "excellent rp OLOL" on the other guy.

After all, you're the one with a gun to your head, posting that it would be oorp of them to waste bullets seems like the least of your concerns.

But yeh, if you can recover them that's great. Better dead than dying amidst the razor weeds of Malta I'd say.
