My bug is funnier than your bug!

[Rusty_Diodes]

Okay, I just had to share this story. If you have feedback, great; if you have your own funny story, that's great too.

So there I am, rescuing scientists from a burning science station. There are fires everywhere, so I rip some fire extinguishers off the wall, and pass them out to my away team- keeping one for myself, of course.

When we came to a fire, sometimes the team would try to find a way around; other times they would just stop at the fire, and go no further; and once in a while they would just run right in and catch on fire. The one thing they never tried was putting out the fires- well, if you want something done right... So I put them out myself, and we rescued the scientists.

A mission or two later, we're down in the swamp, surrounded by Gorn warriors, mortars, and pet dinosaurs- I'm talking about some really nasty troops here, and the whole swamp was full of them. Luckily, I had my bridge crew with me! What would I do without these guys, right? They're my brain trust, my A-Team! So the Gorn attack, and my crew charges into the fray (very outnumbered, mind you), and do the only thing that makes any sense in this situation. They use the fire extinguishers.

On Gorn assault troops.

I kid you not. They pulled out those fire extinguishers, and started spraying gray smoke everywhere! Much dying ensued. Not the kind I had hoped for, either.

After we rezzed, I went around the group and confiscated everyone's firefighting equipment before we went back into battle. I just hope my ship never catches on fire, because we will be doomed.

Pretty funny. Personally, I think they should start using their imagination in making use of some of these bugs creatively down the road. Meaning that once they fix these bugs (or the server upgrades eliminate them) maybe they could concoct some missions that actually use the bugs in a creative way.

For example, since the extinguisher effect is pretty cool, why not some sort of cool "Cryogenics" weapon that freezes targets in place or slows them down. Or turn it on its ear and make it a flamethrower -- I can't see Federation forces using that, so maybe give it to the "bad guys."

Other Examples:
-A mission with, well, space-ship sized people -- Space Gods, if you will -- to use the "avatars in space" bug.
-A mission where your space ship in fact gets miniaturized and you have to scoot around at the floor blasting full size people, and solve something in order to be transported back into space at the normal size.

These are my warped thoughts whenever those bugs occur. That once they fix them, they can - in just an individual mission - purposely bring back and put the "bug" to work some day.

hahahahahahaha That was awesome! Thank you for the story. And if you ever see a character running around spraying your leg with a fire extinguisher (with the utmost respect of course) it is me!

And yes, I'm probably going to be the reason why the devs will make sure at game launch that the mission removes your fire extinguishers when you have completed the quest : p

HAHAHA that is awesome!!! Wish I coulda seen that going on! That's hilarious

I did this exact same thing last night. Same mission afterwards I think as well. I even left the fire extenguisher on one of my guys just for kicks afterwards as he normally shoots a bit between cycles with the extenguisher.
