[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7313127, member: 42582"] Well, if the cruiser is trying to bring Enlilians on board, it pobably won't dock with the starport. So the distress plan would (presumably) involve making the call while it is close and the starport is far. They might. But might not, given that the boat is (we're assuming) on the planet, waiting for its crew to return with captives/bodies for experimentation purposes. It might. Presumably you'd pretend that there's been some sot of drive/power issue, then head back towards the planet (for repairs, fuel intake or whatever) and fake your disaster at the appropriate moment. It's a TL 3 world with a disease-ridden atmosphere. Presumably the starport is to ensure that Imperial interests are protected. There's not likely to be a lot of traffic, though, I wouldn't think. In any event, these are all points of detail which dpened on elements of the situation that haven't been established yet one way or another. Well, if you're planning on taking control of a ship, presumably you're prepared to risk these consequences. I don't follow. What is the point of accessing the computer, except as part of an attempt to take the ship? [/QUOTE]
