“Glasner, what were you thinking when you made these designs!?”
“I was following your instructions. You also mentioned you wanted something that stands out, so I decided to push the envelope. The Excelsis class combines ion drives and spatial compression engines to achieve sub-atomic resonance that boosts drive output up to 30% beyond the average for that hull size.”
“My engineers tell me that your… unique engine setup takes 50% longer to perform routine maintenance on and unless the drive output is precisely calibrated it will cause control issues.”
“I can hardly be blamed if the operator cannot grasp how to properly use such high performance equipment,” he sniffed.
“And what is this monstrosity of a combat frigate you’ve designed?”
“You needed something that would set itself apart from other things on the market. Anyone can build a simple patrol boat, but the Thunderbird takes the kinetic gunship concept to the next level!”
“The ship is a death trap! Did you ever give any consideration to how unpleasant it would be to crew such a cramped ship? Or what a liability it would be to use every spare cubic metre for ammunition storage!?”
“Of course I did. All the essential subsystems fit neatly within the hull. I dare say it’s rather elegant.”
“Glasner these aren’t products, these are show pieces! If you were half as smart as you think you are you’d understand that! You’re lucky you’re literally the only option I have or I’d throw you back into a work crew!”
>You rolled badly for Glasner not fucking up.
