So we're all agreed. If it were not for the politicians of Cadar, the quadrant would be a safer and happier place.
Alliance after alliance. Its all so restrictive.
If we vote for a military man, he could solve the problem by creating more solar wars, trde wars, spy wars. And an increased focus on the manufacturing industry.
I mean, of course, some other military man. I have a ship full of torpedos, you can't expect me to leave them sitting in my ship. Lonely. Torpedos are very sensitive. They need to be polished, maintained. Tubes need to be scrubbed, engines and sails need repairs, otherwise torpedos get bored on flights that are too long. No, I can't do it. Let's find another military Cadar man who doesn't have a ship full of torps to... come home.... to...
I see a potential problem. Now where's that flow chart...
Ah... so now I just need to find the auxiliary forward reserve special operations torpedo button. Its around here somewhere...
Also, simpler interface designs for Cadar captains. Having 437 buttons for launching torpedos is thourough but takes excessive training time.
Torps away. Ah, the sweet smell of Torpocracy, Cadarian politics.

sheff, although you may be Cadari, you haven't taken on the true meaning of torpidation if you believe that withou Cadar politicians, the quadrant would be a safer and happier place. Who, I ask you, would be there to torment the Steel Song home world? Who would communicate with other factions using torps? Instead relying on finding the right comms channel, having to use VDU's, or microphones, or translators, or all three. You know how long it takes to establish a mutual communications protocol that is conducive to discussions between two starship captains? First of all, one might be on the can otherwise engaged, and you certainly would be inconveniencing him or her. Have you ever had to dash from the bathroom to answer the phone? It's NOT a pretty experience, and doesn't make you feel inclined to chat amicably with your counterpart. No, a good torp is the clearest, simplest, and fastest way to communicate. Having 437 buttons to launch torps actually means you can forgo training. The fact most Cadari ships are wired to launch torps no matter WHAT you might do means that you can actually skip a whole week of weapons safety training at the academy. Clearly that policy is a resounding success, because accidental launches dropped by a factor of 70.

But just think. Without those stuffy old guys inthe Cadari palace making restrictive agreements, we'd be free of repercussions leading to the spread of Torpocracy everywhere in the quadrant. From the inbred Thulun, to the Javat Drunks.
We can't just concern ourselves with how we act. But we have to help others live and fly productively. Its only fair. I mean, why should I only give the torps, when I can teach others how to give the torps.
You see what Im saying?

Prey tell, abysmal, what did you actually send? I'm guessing if it was a torp, it was a Steel Song one. And everyone knows, teapots (a) have very limited range; (b) don't scan very easily on a flatbed scanner; and (c) have very little impact value (pretty much the same as Steel Song) |

Ahh but slayernz, you shouldn't mock the steel song torps. A teapot is necessary for having a nice cup of spiced chai. Or even a little catnip tea... |
