I'll be in Horizons tomorrow, I'm a bit fed up with playing the space electrician. I'm not the constructive support person for handling disgruntled customers with Texan Diplomacy anymore in Odyssey :D

Yep, Odyssey seems to be about balancing power.

It's like Star Wars lore, just skips the polarity trick of splitting the force into two opposite potentials.
There are no opposite poles anymore, you just carry universal power regulators with you.

Wait, was it about "Poles" and evolving over internal polarization that only leads to tensions and conflicts, to be able to use the whole spectrum instead?

LOL - now I'm reading the cast list. Jane Badler (Diana from V) was in it. I almost want to watch it now.

I mean the wikipedia page alone is pretty hilarious

The 1987 pilot movie starred Sam J. Jones. The lead character is more mysterious than any of the other Highwaymen in that his real name is never revealed (he is only known as "The Highwayman" or "Highway"). He drives a large, black, computerized truck with a bullet-shaped cabin, which is the nose of a concealed helicopter (an Aérospatiale Gazelle) which can detach from the rest of the truck. The truck can also operate in "stealth mode" to become invisible. A concealed futuristic sports car (a Lotus Esprit) can emerge from the truck's rear. Some elements of the futuristic dashboard design were re-used from Knight Rider.

Claudia Christian co-starred as the Highwayman's liaison, Dawn, and Stanford Egi as technical wizard Mr. Toto. The pilot was retitled Terror on the Blacktop when shown as a stand-alone TV movie.

After the 1987 pilot film, only Jones returned for the weekly series. The retooling of the premise eliminated the truck's stealth mode, which was never mentioned again. The Highwayman was joined by a new sidekick, Australian outback survival expert Jetto, played by Mark "Jacko" Jackson; Jane Badler as the Highwayman's boss, Ms. Tania Winthrop, and Tim Russ as D.C. Montana, who was responsible for the maintenance and modifications to the vehicles. The show was also filmed entirely on location in the American Southwest. Unusually, the show even switched production companies (the pilot was the last co-production between Glen Larson Productions and Twentieth Century Fox Television, the series was independently produced by Larson's New West Entertainment). (The name "D.C. Montana" is a pun on the name of D.C. Fontana, famed TV script writer who worked on many shows including Star Trek.)

After Jetto's truck, which was identical to the Highwayman's, was destroyed in the first episode, "Road Ranger", he is given his own, unique truck, the front half of which can separate into a futuristic car. The truck was later used in the first episode of Power Rangers Time Force.

Damn, I played for too long. Found out that you can jump 100m into the air when you walk on these round exhaust pipes outside Thargoid bases. I was jumping over a Thargoid base multiple times for more than a hour. They have a similar one inside the Thargoid base that shoots you inside the roof, if you get lucky you can jump into the next exhaust pipe and feel like the ball in a pinball machine. I tried that with the exhaust pipes outside but wasn't lucky. Not as good as standing on the ship when dismissing it, but you get shot into the air with such a speed that you think that exhaust pipe teleported you over the Thargoid base, the first time was very scary.

I hate myself for it, and I blame FD and its player community equally.

This was an unexpected burst of repressed honesty. The memeing will resume shortly. Thank you.

I agree. I also think that there's an even bigger point to be examined, namely: Why is that man riding a cat that's had a tablecloth draped over it?
