Spaceships 101- 1st period- Week #5

Sep 28, 2010 05:24

Once the class was assembled this week, Jaina got right to the point. "We're going to have a little bit of fun today. Hopefully," she said, showing them the image of this week's ship. "This is an A-wing. Now, I'll admit they're not the easiest things to fly. If you can't work the stabilizers, you'll end up in a spin, and you don't want to take ( Read more... )

Short again.

Leia wasn't familiar with this type of ship. She had to wonder just when they would show up for her.

Racing? In A-Wings?

Okay, yeah, Tahiri looked excited about that. She couldn't help it.

Ben was a bad influence, okay?

Re: Lecture momslilassassin September 28 2010, 15:47:48 UTC

Ben's eyes lit up. A-Wings? Astral.

Wait your turn solo_sword September 28 2010, 12:30:14 UTC

Hang out, talk, find a partner, do-si-do.

Re: Wait your turn weetuskenraider September 28 2010, 15:33:05 UTC

Just because she'd grown a couple of centimeters didn't mean Tahiri could stop wearing boots in the cockpit; she still couldn't reach the foot yokes all that well without them, and anyway, she'd be slagged if she had to go EV and ended up barefoot in hard vacuum, wouldn't she?

She was sitting on the floor, lacing up said boots with only the vaguest distasteful expression as she waited her turn.

Re: Wait your turn momslilassassin September 28 2010, 15:49:31 UTC

"Nice shoes," Ben teased, grinning at her.

Re: Wait your turn weetuskenraider September 28 2010, 16:00:39 UTC

"Oh, shut up," Tahiri retorted. "You'd hate it too if I ended up losing my feet."

Get in the sim solo_sword September 28 2010, 12:30:48 UTC

Either pick another person or mod your simulated opponent. Who got to the marker first?

Re: Get in the sim heromaniac September 29 2010, 04:34:01 UTC

Momoko was in her A-wing and going over the controls briefly before the race started. She had to monitor everything herself?

"Okay. Uhm. Right. Let's see. Thrusters, uhm. Check. Stabilizers... Stabilizers... over there, okay, check. Ooh! Laser canons!"

Re: Get in the sim onlymistaken September 29 2010, 04:44:03 UTC

Cally would be over here hoping those laser cannons were just for show; she'd no desire to try racing and shooting at each other. One first -- and one area of concentration -- at a time.

One practice run later, she had an answer for Jaina on the subject of whether rolls were fun: Ergggghblgh.

Still, a few moments to stabilize herself and chase down the wooziness, and Cally was still in the game. "I'm ready when you are," she sent over her comm system.

Re: Get in the sim heromaniac September 29 2010, 07:33:49 UTC

Momoko was giddy: lasers and a fast ship?! She wouldn't be using them in a race, but it was so awesome!

"Totally ready!" Momoko chirped back and sat back to wait for the start signal. As soon as it went, so did she. Into a spin, that is.

"Augh! Stupid... Need rear stabiliz... Which was that... Ah!" She pulled herself out of the spin and back into the racing 'lane' but had lost valuable time.

And once you all leave, she is going to train some more.
