“Roger that, bizmail_public! Your orders now on file for this round are:”
✔ pay 31 @penguinchris
✔ buy mass_spectrometer
✖ trade mass_spectrometer @penguinchris
[ERR] You don't seem to be in possession of a 'mass_spectrometer'. :(
✔ mission 4
I see that my blasters might be a bit of an issue on Mission 5, but I need to retain a high POW+SCI score.
If anyone wants some additional power on their Mission and has SCI to trade (or just doesn’t need SCI because they’re going on Mission 4), perhaps we can find some way to mutually benefit?
As I understand the turn order rules, Kassandra is throwing an ERR here because I do not currently have a mass_spectrometer, but this is a valid set of orders that will process as stated at run time, assuming I have at least 126 U.
As you surmise, Kassandra is fussing because you don’t currently have a mass_spectrometer. Chicken, meet egg.
At execution time, the BUY order will happen first, followed by the TRADE order and everything will happen as expected if you have 126Ʉ on hand (31Ʉ for the PAY order, 75Ʉ for the BUY order, and the last 20Ʉ for the mission fee).
I’m pretty sure running out of juice mid mission is game over man, game over (RIP Bill )
In any case, I’m taking the mission. I haven’t worked out whether I should spend your juice on SEN or just hold it as a buffer in case of getting lost but I’m sure it’ll come in handy.
I’m fairly certain you don’t know what possess me. It’s clearly located in the left front thigh pocket of my suit. I used to use it for a garnish when I was marooned on Mars for 550 sols.
