"Oops" Was Not the Word Used
Steven Petrick told this tale:
Damaged Orion pirate CR bores in and blows a Klingon D6 (already badly damaged) to pieces.
Orion player (smugly): "Good game."
Klingon player: "The game is not over yet."
Orion player: "All you have left is an empty scatter-pack and a manned shuttle; you have no chance since the drones from the scatter-pack have to go inert without guidance. Do we really need to play this out? I mean I can just blow up your shuttle next turn."
Klingon player: "Who says the drones are going inert?"
Orion player: "Even if the drones are self-guiding, they are more than eight hexes from my ship, so they do not have lock-on."
Klingon player: "No, they are not self-guiding."
Orion player (with puzzled look): "Well, if they are not self-guiding then they have to . . . That manned shuttle is an MRS, isn't it?"
Klingon player: "Yes."
Orion player: (unprintable)
