suggest we bulk-move the entire "Space Shuttle Bit", as it's stored in my brain, to 2011.
Drive Rating: Max velocity 0.05c
Supplementary Crew:
* Discovery (AI, MS-0, OV-103)
* Atlantis (AI, MS-0, OV-104)
* Endeavour (AI, MS-0, OV-105)
==== Class Quirks ====
* Tough Old Bird: The specifications for the Graces are well-founded in reality. However, any of the three can exceed these specifications to approximately 10% overage, or further with severe risks of damage to the system in question (or chassis)
* I Am My Ride: The Graces all have fairly well developed AI, but they have all taken the names of the orbiters they inhabit. Atlantis and Endeavour use early-twenties blonde and early-thirties brunette female avatars, respectively, and Discovery uses a 19 year old brunette male avatar. All have bright blue eyes.
==== Vehicle Quirks (Atlantis) ====
* The Atlantis AI is the most intellectual of the Graces, except for her belief in the Lost Continent of Atlantis, and her voracious appetite for media and leads on same.
* //Atlantis// enjoys the occasional dip in saltwater, especially if she's managed to find a 'hot lead' for the 'old country'
==== Vehicle Quirks (Endeavour) ====
* Back In The Body Shop Again: Endeavour is the most aggressive, the hardest charging, the most foolhardy of the Graces, and as such, is in the body-and-fender shop frequently enough for it to have become a joke.
* I don't know art, but I know what I like: Art!: Endeavour is a flirt - and fond of bad puns besides. Punning contests can reduce her fuel consumption by as much as 50%Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979
Quote:Explain, please? I don't get it.
I'm starting to think in the long term we ought to do with NASA what Gryphon did with the USAF over yonder in UF. (Or closer to home, what we're doing with the Stingray here.) Don't see any compelling reason it wouldn't work.![]()
