Stories / Overwhelming Raid
November 30, 2013, 04:17:16 PM
I'm not sure if this counts as a story or a bug . . ..

On day 37/38 of Chill Callie Classic I got hit with this raid.  I counted fourteen of them to my nine colonists.  My three best weapons were an Uzi (depicted), a Pump Shotgun (with Corbune) and a Lee Enfield (held by Rambler)--everyone else had pistols.  Bates, Dickson, and Kemp (on the Raider's side) had Frag Grenades. 

On hour 1 of day 38 . . . there was a solar flare, so my defense guns shut down.

By hour 4, all of my colonists were dead, to two raiders.

Our "special" weapons had been taken, at high cost, from previous raids.  A single Combat Supplier had passed by on day ten or so (right after I got my radio built) and I managed to buy a pair of pistols from them (they had an R4 Charge Rifle, but I didn't have the money to get it).  I'd seen a couple of Industrial Traders, a pair of Slave Traders and an slew of Farming Traders (yeah--doin' fine with food, thanks--that's how I afforded the slaves).
