Im a Turret fan, specially when flying something that turns like a turtle. The phased tetryon turrets I really like if i could afford. The dual proc is just a thing of beauty.

Thanks Nick, I'll add those to my "To Do" list... Some of it, like actually visiting the Odin was just to show off, lol.

Great mission! I really enjoyed the story and the dialogue. You fit it perfectly into cannon and had a lot of detail in the mission.

Re: Why I love the Stonewall Fleeties
Yes, but the silly ones with their guns and Jeebus are plenty scary. We are now living in a country where a silly hack like Ted Nugent is trotted out by a political party ostensibly to make a serious response to the President of the United States on gun control.
Ted Nugent does not have the qualifications or intellectual chops to be serious long enough to take a breath, much less talk seriously about gun control. US politics have now devolved to the level of Italian politics, which I consider downright puerile. Berlusconi became a politician to avoid being investigated for financial crimes, even with that known to the average Italian (or European), they view US politics as a circus sideshow with two different fucking clown cars.
...naturally, it is our own silly faults. We let these folks lead us around by our noses, lurching from one manufactured crisis to the other. So is it a surprise when a REAL crisis that deserves serious attention pops up, we treat such crises the same way we treat the made up ones?
Marco Rubio is an intellectual lightweight. Ted Nugent is an insane gun freak.
We need to elect serious people to solve serious problems. The Jan Brewers, Sarah Palins, Michelle Bachmanns...how can anyone take them seriously?
Fah! I need whisky.

This is an opportune time to buy cruise tickets... events like this lower ticket prices and impact a really low number of overall sailings!

Foundry Mission: "Shades of Transgression" by @captain.brenden
Title: Shades of Transgression [ST-HCUWIACW4]
Author: captain.brenden
Faction: Federation
Level Requirement: 35+
Author Notes: The Rabal-Serova Deep Space Survey Probe has disappeared while investigating gravametric instabilities near the Cestus Sector. Join up with the 9th Expeditionary Task Force, under the command of Vice Admiral Aiden Davoi, to investigate the probe's disappearance...
Herro Fleeties!
This is my first ever Foundry mission (years in the making, lol)! Hope you all give it a try. I think I ironed out the "beam-in" problem, but if it persists, please let me know ASAP so I can pull my hair out some more as I tinker with it. Any other constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated. There's even a little Stonewall plug in there!!
Enjoy. And don't forget to rate! :lol:

Re: Catholic Pope Benedict XVI Resigns
The following tags have no closing tag: i
Hi White. This is a short list of prophecies attrbuted to St. Malachy. Your translation is just a tad off (we academics would say "problematic", but yours is not bad), here is the most common translation from Latin to English."In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, Peter the Roman will hold the see. (he) will nourish his sheep in many tribulations: and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills (Rome) will be destroyed, and the terrible judge (God) will judge his people. The End."
In original Latin:
In pſecutione extrema S.R.E. ſedebit. Petrus Romanus, qui paſcet oues in multis tribulationibus: quibus tranſactis ci- uitas ſepticollis di- ruetur, et Iudex tre mẽdus iudicabit po pulum ſuum. Finis.
Naturally, this version of Latin is mostly read by specialists and insane PhD candidates like myself. So...this version emerged in the Vulgate (Vulgar) Latin.
In persecutione extrema Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae sedebit. Petrus Romanus qui pascet oves multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitatis septi collis conterentur, et iudex iudicabit terribilis populum suum. Finis.
This results in a much cleaner translation, and more clear (I hope):
In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church will sit Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, after which the city of the seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful Judge will judge his people. The end.
In order to properly translate Vulgar (Ecclesial) Latin, you have to understand the common abbreviations (e.g. S.R.E. and &) and change certain vowel endings to arrive at the true translation.
Nota bene: These prophecies and especially this particular one are generally regarded in scholarly circles as false. There is certainly not enough provenance to prove them absolutely genuine.
Good job, White! You get a thanks for providing me a simpler translation than the poem from Vergil I posted earlier today :).
Best,

Re: Catholic Pope Benedict XVI Resigns
So if St. Malachy's Prophecy of the Popes is true here's what we can look forward to:
In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & Judex tremêdus judicabit populum suum. Finis.
or in common tongue
(In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people. The End.)
Apparently the Glory of the Olives is suppose to be the Penultimate Pope

Re: Why I love the Stonewall Fleeties
I feel the same way about this community, Dan, and I think a lot of others do too. Hopping in-game or and in vent to play, chat and carouse with my fellow fleeties is something I look forward to every day. In recent months this community seems to have experienced a resurgence in the amount of discourse and camaraderie with the influx of new members like you and the return of old friends and it's just awesome to me. :)
