NEmergix, the Pelican isn't a Slug ship though and doesn't use Slug engines. It's Federation tech with a jury-rigged Crystal reactor.

Eden frowned "I used to be a longshoreman. I might have hauled a few crates with engine parts in them but I've never used those ones."
"Besides, I think your time in servitude has addled your brain... this isn't a Slug vessel" she added, gesturing for one of the pirates to escort him away. "Take him to the weapons room... he said he had a plan to blow up some things... I was thinking we could blow up some things that might emerge from the beacon; and all our explosive components are in storage there."
"A space minefield?" Lux asked
Eden sighed "Yeah, I don't think he should be touching the jury-rigged systems... we can survive a few hull breaches, but a lack of engines would strand us"

Logic! :lol:
Then again, Eden does have something of a point. If the mines go off badly, that's damage that can probably be repaired. If you have no engines... well it's several hundred years to the next repair shop...

"Oh you gotta be FUCKING KIDDING ME!" Jake shouted, his smile fading. "What are the odds?"

"Well... kinda high I guess... The ionic energy must've drawn in the ionic gasses, and you were the closest thing to the main source... so..." Sarah said.

"Sarah.... Shut up! I guess we're going back in time now... right?" Jake moaned.

"Think again. The energy re-absorbed isn't nearly enough to send us back in time. Electrical degradation. But it's still enough to fry the Temporal Drive from trying to jump without enough voltage! And it'll take the entire Main Reactor along with it!"

"We need another way to divert the ener-"

"There's no time! The main reactor is going to depolarize any second!"

"Sarah! Shut down your program, immediately!"

"But Jake..."

"When the reactor goes offline, the computer will immediately shut down. I don't want to risk damage to your program. SHUT DOWN!"

Without even seeing her, Sarah's voice faded away into oblivion. A few seconds later, there was the loud crackle of an electrical charge cascading through the ship. Every single screen in the cockpit went black. Jake sat in pitch blackness, the only light from the window which shone through the fog dimly. As the minutes passed by, Jake felt the cold seep in. His breath became clouded. The radio was dead, but they were far from the battle. Nothing he could do but sit in the back-lines of the fight, adrift through the slowly diminishing fog. Sitting adrift in silence, Jake had nothing but his own thoughts to stimulate him

It wasn't that the reactor was destroyed - worse. The main Fusion Inducers were probably depolarized, meaning they would need to be repolarized. Tech to repolarize Inducers was very expensive and hard to come by. The Mature was too valuable an asset for the URU to give up, meaning that he could probably have the Pelican and Scarab take turns towing the lifeless husk until they found a procured some repolarization tech. That is, if the Mature's crew didn't freeze to death and the rest of the fleet wasn't blown to bits by Slugs.

YEET! Not doing Time Travel no more... :D :D :D

Sediment, as a rockman, could withstand the cold better then any human can, so he was unscathed by the cold. "If I got it correct the reactor is fried so this ship isn't going to be flying soon." He turned to Jake. "I'm sorry but we might not be able to reactivate the Mature again. Your mission is more important then your affection towards this ship. We might have to leave it behind."

Jake shivered. "No. It's not just about my sentiment. The Mature has weapons and defense technology more advanced than the Rebels can dream of... We must reactivate it, I don't know if we'll have a chance in this war without it."

Plus, no computer in the entire universe is capable of running and storing Sarah's program...

"Perhaps," Sed replied, still withstanding the cold, "but we ain't going to survive on a ship with a deactivated heater and life... support. The life support is deactivated!" Sediment exclaimed,
"along with its air filtering system! We need to leave this ship within, I don't know, half an hour or we're all dead! Let's hope the fight gets resolved quickly because we have no way of communicating with other ships." What am I talking about the conflict will be resolved quick enough. Sediment thought, calming himself down a bit. Well, that only helps if we win. He tensed up again in fear.

I've always wondered why FTL ships are so badly designed when it comes to life support that they start suffocating very quickly once the systems go down. My initial guess is that it's stellar radiation not being filtered out and thus you are cooked inside the ship but I dunno :D
Also, why would the ship start going cold once the power runs out? Anno 2205 keeps telling me "A vacuum is not a cooling system!"
If anything, your ship would start heating up as you're inside a nebula; nebulae form into stars and stars are hot.
Whoops, I've put too much thought into logic and physics again :lol:

I'm waiting for that hidden Rebel fleet to time travel its way into the battle so I can't be of any help right now.

I know, you've ranted about it before, along with how hacking sucks the oxygen out of the ship. Anyways the only way to logic out of this is the Mature's futuristic hull plating is blocking any heat from getting inside. Anyways the bigger problem is that life support is deactivated.

"I'm not saying saying that we stay on the Mature. I'm saying that we transfer to another ship and TOW the abandoned Mature to the nearest repair station. Once we get outta here, we can safely carry the Mature to the nearest starbase or something." Jake exclaimed. "Let's go grab some EVA suits and find a way to contact the fleet. The fight should be over by the time we've done that, for better or for worse."

I think the Mature will be crippled for the remainder of the Quarentine Sector. Once we reach the next sector (Abandoned Sector?) there will be a Fed outpost or something.

"Well boss you are welcome on my ship, we have enough to carry ya" Bren said, "Sorry you have to leave your ship"
