So no dedicated weapons packages for the Warranty, but they can defend themselves against Boskones in a pinch. Considering using Larry Niven's Ringworld as a quirk namer-- something like 'Puppeteer Logic' or 'the Kzinti Lesson.' Is this alright?It might be even more amusing that it also mandates that they be named "communications lasers" to qualify for the exemption, even if the lasers aren't actually connected to the comms.
"Of course we're communicating. Right now, our lasers are explaining proper manners to their engine room."
As a side note, I'm now seeing a collection of waved cars and vans full of SCIENCE! equipment being based aboard, letting the explorers get in even closer.
Oh, that's good. I may have to use that. Thanks!
