Might be Bimbo only? Trying to find the code for it.
Edit: I can't find it. I'm not sure if I'm misremembering, or it got changed.
You're thinking about the bad end if you lose the fight against the doctor.
What consequences will it give, positive and negative? Does it make troubles long-term? I know that it's one of powerful, if not outright most powerful ship of all, but there's must be some catch, right?
Short answer to the title: Yes
Immediate consequence 1: If the PC tries to
Hijack the
Sidewinder Olympia will appear behind you with a shotgun pointed right at your face. you can either choose
Diplomacy to recruit her,
Disarm her if you have a
Reflexes quotient greater than 66% or the
Smuggler Skill:
Disarming Shot, or
Leave the ship alone. If the player disarms her, you can still choose to
Recruit Her or completely remove her from the game with
Shoot Her. Regardless of your choices, if the player does successfully hijack the Sidewinder, she will drop her
Stormbull Shotgun.
2: Doctor Teyaal isn’t the only one who worked on
The Sidewinder, after all it’s the main reason why
Zheng Shi was built. Naturally, wasting over 200 years of hard work and sacrifice will leave the remaining workers
Absolutely Livid With The Red Hot Burning Intensity of 1000 Exploding Stars. As such, they will take out their frustrations on your old ship, violently dismantling it and using its scrap parts to try and build
The Sidewinder II. (I believe your storage of items and appliances will magically teleport to the Sidewinder but you should save before taking the ship just in case)
3: If the player attempts to enter
Zheng Shi while piloting
The Sidewinder Teyaal will attempt to take back her ship with her less powerful
MS-XI. If you are defeated by Teyaal, she and her daughter will board the ship and have it surrounded by a fleet of Pirate ships, leading to a
Bad End. If the player defeats her, she will retreat back to the docks and desperately try to repair her ship to try again next time. Teyaal will attempt to take back
The Sidewinder a total of 3 times before her ship becomes too damaged to return to Zheng Shi. When this happens, the player will have the option to
Leave her, permanently removing her from the game. If the player
Docks her ship, they will be able to rescue her. Teyaal will admit that she is impressed that you were able to push
The Sidewinder past its limitations and defeat her multiple times even though she knew all its weaknesses. She then gives you her blessing to use her ship and tells you to visit her on the
Recreation Deck if you get the chance. (Including
her daughter)
