View Full Version : My poor weapons specialist

When I started my first career, I paid renown for a good Weapons officer. The best I could afford. He paid off well durring the mission. We sank ships left and right and he never missed a shot when I had him set one up. We were in the middle of attacking a convoy. I had maneuvered inside the enemy lines, surfaced and I had him do his fantastic target motion analysis and fire at the nearest merchant. We came under attack by a DD and crash dived as deep as I could get it. Durring the dive, one of my crew mentioned that the torpedoes had missed. When I switched back into the command room (durring a nice depth charge attack), I turned to look around and screamed.

Apparently some of my crew didn't like the idea that he missed, beheaded the poor guy and mounted his head on a pipe !! (This is a real graphics glitch ! No photoshop involved.)

Oh, wonderful! As if being DC'd isn't enough stress by itself, now we have a homicidal maniac among the crew...

Bernard may be a bit of a klutz and the brunt of many jokes...however I wouldn't think of him as a lunatic. Although...it is quite possible he's finally cracked up and over the edge a bit. :o

For the entire rest of the mission, it looked like my command room was haunted. There was just this floating head there staring at us the whole time.

Your Weapons Officer had a good head on his shoulders.
He was just trying to ahead in life.

Nice pic, but next time please use photobucket or something-that was the most annoying time I've had getting to a picture I've had in a while.

Yeah. I know. That site is horrible. I just didn't have the time to hunt for a better one this morning. Yeah..
It turned out that the floating head must have been a bad omen.... later this afternoon, I, my crew, and the head were sent on eternal patrol by a psychic destroyer who detected me from beyond the curve of the earth or so it seemed.
At least I now have an idea why he missed his shot. Someone chopped off his head in the middle of his calculations !!

I think the crew was jealous of him because I actually paid renown for him and paid nothing for anyone else. I don't know.. it happend while I was out of the room using the targeting periscope... his calculations went horribly wrong.. I came back and..... YAAAAA !!!
The thing that got to me was that the rest of the crew were just... ignoring it...

Have a look at your crew manifest and see if there's anyone called Vlad onboard!

I guess that's a sign that I should head back to port ?

Not yet. You're getting ahead of yourself.

Hmmmm... if you look at the humorous screenshot thread on page 1, post 6, apparently I'm not the only one who's weapons officer got the axe.
