Demoralize is a great example of an offensive ability that doesn't require wielding any weapons. You can simply broadcast to the enemy ship, and attempt to turn their crew against them. Don't underestimate the power of propaganda!

I would also like to chime in and say: feeding people isn't something you do to be nice. Feeding people is the moral obligation of those who have more than enough. So even if his false premise was true, he's still coming out of this looking like a dick

The line about addressing imperfections is exactly the type of utopia I tried to build Heliosail's world to be

What, this looks ADORABLE

My good bro you need to put a couple of beers in me, listen to my tipsy rant about how digital media is currently akin to oral tradition, and then cofound the field of digital archaeology with me. Floppy discs are transient, but stone tablets are forever. Also we could probably publish.

Stash is an essential Trick for a crafter on the go. I'm planning a video in the future that will cover how the crafting system works in detail, but in a nutshell, this Trick allows you keep making progress on your projects even when you are on a long journey in space.

Medical Specialty is the pinnacle Trick for the Medicine skill. As a capstone it gives you incredible power, with each specialty feeling very distinct from the others. This is one of the capstone Tricks I am most proud of.

What I think is fun about Web of Lies is that it builds up fast momentum. It's very "high risk, high reward." It makes it easier and easier to keep lying, but the deeper you get, the more dangerous failure becomes. This is a Trick that could carry someone through an entire adventure.
