Make a run for It by barigorokarl
---- SPACE ----
Adventure, Freedom, Interesting people ... Which want to blow your sorry a** out of the skies. You don't have much options, make a run for it!
You're the hardened chief mechanic on board of a space freighter piloted mainly by noobs.
And now you've discovered a asteroid field. Wich is surrounded by pirates. That have bond with your enemies of war. Dang.
Hold that ship together as long as you can, you'll hope that the old girl will make it to the jumpgate out of this system.

FF und xp runs without a problem at all on my 5 year old machine.
And maybe I should have sticked a "Rated Adult" sticker on the humor, I got that thought from that "Rebruary" Month from spoony and a little bit from Red Heat - Thats the cap you're wearing :)
I like such games as millenium 2.2 where you didn't know what to do either, but I guess that's a special kind of sadism ;)
So, here's what to do:
At the beginning you're only able to repair systems and you have to keep the important systems running.
After the bridge is destroyed you are able to set course and put in the "overdrive", which is some kind of afterburner that is constently hurting your hull.
Best way (Sad to say, I guess nearly the only way) to win is to put 2 Mechanic on Hull, Engines and Energy, 1 on Sensors and Point defense).
After the bridge is destroyed try to avoid the asteroids and if possible enemy ships, put in the overdrive and take ignore Point defense and Sensors and put at least one of them to Hull, the other where it is needed.
Ok, I need to balance this more and remove some bugs, such as system health bleeding without even beeing attacked. yeah, that happens :(
Thanks for the patience and testing this brutal piece of software! :)
where's the problem? use your mousewheel (I hope you've got one) an scroll over that "hull", "point defense" etc. boxes. scroll up puts a mechanic there, scroll down removes it.

Having said that, I like the idea of balancing the workers between the various ship departments. Maybe ease into things with a couple levels with fewer departments or something.
