Strictly (Duke) Springer - Day 016


In the remainder of the day, we get lucky and find 2 intact PS bots. I physically rolled dice for this so it must be random.

A PS-bot is a Personal Support bot, it can provide life support to a U-suit indefinitely or to an unsuited person for 1 hour. It can keep someone at zero hits alive and it can call for medical help. It also has a built in radio. It costs 2 secs. a week to operate.

They are kind of useful and sort of annoying. All bots have a weekly run cost, which you don't have early in the game. They are in good order when I regulate them to the hold. Using them triggers the cost, so storing them is a option early on.

Our assets are:

1 Antelope starship, which I owe 119,300 secs. in principle.
15 Fuel Units,
1 Stasis pod 2 CU,
20 Repair units.
1 U-bot,
2 PS-bots,
3 Skimmers,
1 U-suit,
and the ship is fully fueled with 6 hypercharges.

I have 650 secs. in my pocket.

In the cache in the Ruins of Regari are:

3 Skimmers,
4 Repair Units,
100 secs.

Progress continues...

I'm still working on my Inktober project in January... I know, it's lame.


New Markers, New Drawings - Uncle Sean's Cabin

This is a tiny cabin based on many of the cabins at Schoellkopf Scout Reserve.  SSR is a wonder campsite located in Wyoming County, NY.

I have been there several dozen times over the years and it is full of fond memories. On my most recent two trips, we spent time sprucing up the cabins and campsites. I often paint during the day and sketch at night.

This cabin is a cross between Phillips Cabin and Schoellkopf Cabin pictured below. It could probably be used for a hunting lodge in a D&D setting. In my campaign, it's a structure due east of the city of Nace.

While it looks tiny, 25 by 25 feet square in the wilderness is quite spacious and homey.



Strictly (Duke) Springer - Day 015


A variation of an Antelope Starship with 2 ship's boats.
On this the day, we get lucky and find 2 intact skimmers. I’m beginning to suspect the randomness of Google’s Roll a die feature.

Eventually, I will get to the point where becoming a Used Skimmer Dealer will be profitable.
