I'd like to be GTVA archives master.  I like to be in control of a vast wealth of information.  :)

EDIT:  If we already got someone here more qualified for that position, I'll take apprentice.

Re: If you could have a job on a FS ship...
True, but it is possible to force a warpout via SEXPs, isn't it?

Actually it depends where you put those SEXPs.

If I create an event where I give a ship a warpout goal it will go nowhere if it's disabled. However if I set a ship to jump out in its departure cue it will jump out regardless of whether its drives are damaged or not.

Re: If you could have a job on a FS ship...
I would be a chef...

Maybe an ex navy-seal chef on the Bastion, so when the ship gets boarded by the NTF (or Tommy Lee Jones and Chief O'brian) I can single-handedly save the GTVA with nothing but my kitchen knife and Birthday-Cake stripper 'gal.

Undersiege III, it's like Die Hard, but in freespace!

But seriously...

A major share holder in Triton Dynamics  :D I built the Diemos so I get to ride it.

Or

Alpha 1's co-pilot, sit back, let the guy in front win the war and take half the credit come medal-time. Really I'd just be there for moral support and to keep him supplied with Bosch Beer and such.

Or

Intelligence Spook. Mostly it's standing in the corner of the bridge looking moody, occasionally shaking my head to tell the Captain not to do what he's thinking about doing, not because of any real reason, just messing with him. Then, when the brown stuff really hits the spiny thing just commandeer a fighter using my high-level clearance and get the hell out of dodge.

Fixing the Chicken Soup Machine. Or painting the outside.

Well that does mean that you'd be the only one to survive a lethal radiation leak :)

seems it's only you and myself who get the vague RD references...

Shame that. I would expect a better hit ratio than that on a sci-fi computer game forum.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves :p

It's a British show though, isn't it?  I've never seen it.

(And if you're wondering how I knew what you're talking about, I simply thought of all the sci-fi shows I know of with the abbreviation "RD" and came up with only one. ;))

Let's not forget the US remakes of One Foot In the Grave with Bill Crosbie and the god-awful versions of Fawlty Towers - all 3 of them.  American networks need to learn; there's no point copying British comedy if you don't get the joke.

Hey, the office seems to be working.

But as a brit who spent much of thursday watching his seasion 1-to-4 box set of Red Dwarf I think I can clearly state that I got the joke.

I would be the guy at command that Issues the orders and comes up with the plans, that way I'd get all the credit for it going right and none of the flack for it going wrong.

They used to show Fawlty Towers on PBS at night, with John Cleese.

Loved that show :(
