Me and my friend beat up some ruffian prisoners with shock batons to the brink of death. After the beatdown we locked them in a room and noticed we have to resuscitate them because our stern discipline was a bit too harsh. All this was for naught anyway because the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ orca submarines lower cannon is such ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ placed that you cant protect half of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ piece of ♥♥♥♥ from the never ending mudraptor onslaught. Also the ai crew is extremely stupid and act like fools when the submarine fills with water. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ always die to pressure or they seek the most dangerous spot where they will be getting mauled by the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mudraptors.1 found this helpful
Very fun game, however the prisoners need to learn some discipline and obedience for their captors. They were running around like headless chickens and desperately scavenging for any sort of weapon, however our disciplinary methods proved sufficient, because we had disciplined them until they submitted and could be dragged to our makeshift prison where they were put on oxygenite to preserve their lives.1 found this helpful
FIX SHIP FIX SHIP FIX SHIP FIX SHIP outpost CLOWN CLOWN CLOWN CLOWN messed with too much IC4
It is a lot of fun and has a great modding scene
my friends were trying to lock prisoners in the crew quarters but they wouldnt go there willingly so they decided to show a bit of "discipline" and proceeded to beat them to deaths door it got so bad we had to use oxegynite go bring them back after dragging them to the crew quarters very fun would let my friends do it again
ts is genuinely cheeks. I do not understand how mr. ranaweera can find this even slightly enjoyable. even when i attempt to enjoy this poopy game, i get shocked and handcuffed by mr. ranaweera. no wonder why nobody plays with this guy, he only plays L plays, and plays like dogwater.
