I am pleased to see that 'blow-up-the-ship drive' has the biggest margin of victory ever so far. It shows spirit.

It's just like Nightcrawler only really really drunk/stupid.
I look forward to Derpcrawler in action.

Derpcrawler! I'm changing my vote. Because Derpcrawler. Not that it matters. But democracy!

You have truly understood my vision for this stupid fake science thing
Also new poll: guns incoming.
A quick note about weapons: most of you will notice most of them are repurposed tools or things a criminal might produce. This is because, first, if phaser banks are an option not picking phaser banks would be silly. And second, military-grade weapons are probably not available to civilians.
<VOTE TABULATION>
x0 Fusion Torch, Inertial Drive
x1 Tri-phase Drive
x6 Skip Drive
The ship mounts a Tadao-Murcheson Locust IX skip drive, one of the first and last commercially produced models. The actual operation is no less dangerous, but at least it has standardized parts; T-M stands by their product.

Alright NEW POLL IS UP.
Also you can choose up to two, because a yacht has room for more guns.
Also, once you've picked your two guns, the next poll will be a quick one about which you want to be upgraded from its standard form.

<quote source="/post/1573/thread" timestamp="1416237929" author="@danixiewrites]*sniffles* They're...they're so beautiful![/quote]I'm very glad you think so! Actually coming up with guns that would all fit the setting/needs of the story and also have interesting pro-con dynamics was really difficult. >w<;
Originally there were like, fourteen guns; I cut out the maser cannon, mining laser, and a few others for being boring and/or redundant to existing options.

You're a total boss. I love that there's a variety of different flaws, not simply: Oh, and it could fail horribly and you could die. (Which is fantastic as a whole, power levels feel right balanced. ^_^)
