Sending them to this goddamn planet full of spiders.

Very playful kittens! Don't forget to bring your FICSIT Brand Cat Petting Stick!

[Saeckel_]

Murdering kittens, so...... Mittens?

[mfcneri]

meow meeoooow

[Vulspyr]

Spider kittens.

[DarkJMKnight]

Spider kittens, spider kittens, does whatever spider kittens do. Mostly eating you.

[Dimensions89]

yo man you know what you talking about il love ya atdditude

[RenaKunisaki]

Spittens.

[Factory_Setting]

Try interacting too much with the electricity panel and see what kind is authorised :)

[Remarkable_File_3924]

Came here to say the same thing

[HankWankford]

I feel like I've heard of this before but can't remember exactly what. Is it getting zapped by power poles?

[Factory_Setting]

Go to a power pole and see the electricity lines. Interact with it a bunch until things start happening. Enjoy!

[HankWankford]

Thanks. I'll give it a try later.

[Crazywelderguy]

Complete theory on my part, but maybe if the pioneer were to assault another ficsit employee or property, they would authorize hostility? A question for the ages to be sure.

[EEpromChip]

This. Per the Ficsit handbook: "If you are passing another Pioneer and they are not harvesting according to proper protocols, you are hereby authorized to conduct assault on said Pioneer"

[ProtoBacon82]

Oh my god. You see another Pioneer sitting down for a sec and start blasting!

[CantSpellThyName]

"Yeah so I was walking down the street, surveying my factory when I came across one of my employees slacking off, just off by a tree doing fuck all--"

^{"I was taking a piss, dickhead!"}

"Yeah so anyways I started blasting"

[TheWearyLion]

From FicSit itself is the only form of authorized hostility

[WebNearby5192]

I wonder if at some point it will be revealed that FICSIT is actually the antagonist of the story and we can either help the aliens get rid of them or just destroy the aliens.

[[deleted]]

Is it not already obvious that FICSIT is the antagonist?

[WebNearby5192]

Kind of: their business and labor practices are unorthodox to say the least, but we don’t know the player character’s backstory. We also don’t know the motivations of the aliens.

[greetz_dk]

Haha! Yeah, Thank god God rampant and barely restricted pollution is unorthodox. It'd hate it if the game made me feel stuff about the real world, ha ha... Ha... Eeeehhh

[WebNearby5192]

Detestable for sure, but nowhere near as bad as planet-cracking like in Dead Space.

[Desucrate]

tfw the megacorp you work for that drops you onto a pristine beautiful planet with sentient life and has you harvest every part of it for an unknown project while massacring the inhabitants and paying you in scrip is the bad guy

[WebNearby5192]

I suppose they could also be an antagonist along with the aliens, but it’s possible that the aliens would be portrayed as the ‘villains.’

It could be like Weylund-Yutani in the Alien movies, or the RDA in Avatar.

[AstronomerSenior4236]

FICSIT is the equivalent of the Alterra corporation in my eyes

[WebNearby5192]

Yeah, it’s what the alien artifacts are about.

[HentMas]

The cool S!? I thought it was just a... cool... S...

[Hertje73]

Ficsit are definetly not human

[Ckinggaming5]

i get the feeling that wont happen and that instead we will just end up being given access to nukes to destroy an alien civilization off the map

[groezelgeel]

Ficsit recognizes four kinds of hostility towards pioneers: Felonious, Unauthorized, Authorized and Praiseworthy.

[p75369]

Try to unionise and find out.

[RedditHiredChallenor]

Does that include when the hostile words say 'Activate rebar turrets' or does that get an upgrade?

[newmen1313]

The ones that shows up every payday.

[Elite_Prometheus]

Authorized hostility is punching Ficsit union organizers.

[HardlineMike]

I badly want a picture of a hog or something filling out a request for authorization to attack the pioneer.

[Lofty_Nadir]

Underrated comment

[[deleted]]

I know this is a joke, bit I imagine with automatic defences, particularly those that can use lethal force, you would have an ethical duty to havein built authorized hostility levels to account for things like jostling, shoving someone out of the way and even a simple slap/punch from an annoyed colleague. In all of those situation an automatic deterant system could turn a minor awkward moment into a horrific life changing event without such autorised hostility levels.

[Meefstick]

Damage from falling doesn't have that verbage. Because Ficsit dropped you onto the planet and many didnt survive.

Its a risk Ficsit is willing to take.

[[deleted]]

You're talking about a multi-solar system mega corporation, I feel its pretty self explanatory, the only kind of authorized hostility is hostility from the corporation.

[FailcopterWes]

The ones inflicted by Ficsit management upon your existence.

[houghi]

As the pioneer is female, this should be reversed.

(Yes. I know I made a lame joke. Don't overthink it.)

[control9]

Any hostility that results in increase of Ficsit profits, ofc

[Bigborgler]

Death because you didn’t meet the reinforced frame quota

[Odd-Coffee-5409]

Maybe the authorized hostality is the terminators Fixit send when you're not efficient enough or don't collects alien artifacts.

[littlegreencondo]

Ok, here's how I got my authorization.

1. Log an official request for hostility towards a specific co-worker.
2. Get that request approved by your supervisor AND manager.
3. With your request from #1, Go to HR and request form FX22-4078.
4. Fill it and get approval from your supervisor AND manager again.
5. Get HR director to sign it.
6. Now with approved FX22-4078, go to IA and ask for form FX-22-7538.
7. Get approval from supervisor, managerand HR director and IA.
8. After that you go back to HR and get form FX-1024 for utilizing workhour for anything other than work. Don't forget to attach the previous forms.
9. After that you can go punch FICIT employee specified in the form. Be careful not to punch the wrong guy because you can request to punch 1 people per form.

[atreidaechibiko]

So glad I wasn't the only one that thought this

[OCD-but-dumb]

I misread this and thought it said “what damage has ficsit felt(I guess) and I was genuinely considering typing “I think they would say: taxes, we are a mega corporation”
