What are the exact 'consequences' for stealing the Sidewinder?

[Azureink]

Greetings. As someone who plays the public game, I was wondering if there was a 'best way' of taking the Sidewinder? Or what exactly the 'consequences' were for doing so? Is it just only a really hard ship boss fight on return trips or was there something more?

I believe at some point, somewhere, it was mentioned that you could get into good standing with the various pirate gangs and that would influence what happened after stealing the Sidewinder. Was that ever put into effect?

Thank you for your time.

To the best of my knowledge, none of the after theft events with the leaders of the Zheng Shi pirate leaders have been written. All I've heard on the matter comes from William, who has at least tentative ideas for the Raiders and Jumpers.

1. You lose your current ship, but keep items in storage and upgrades like the Dong Designer and Sleep Fapnia.
2. Olympia will be a permanent crew member on the Sidewinder, but no other ship.
3. There is a difficult fight vs Dr Teyaal when you return to Zheng Shi (repeatable 3 times, I think). The intent was for the fight to only happen if you brought the Sidewinder back, but is currently bugged such that it occurs whatever ship you're using. (See the Blog post for 8.010/8.011). In addition, the Sidewinder has no weapons by default, so make sure you install some before going back! A Shield Booster or Shield Vampire would also be a good idea.
4. This hasn't been implemented (yet?) to my knowledge. Dr. Teyaal does invite you to meet her on the Recreation Deck after the third win, but I don't think you actually can, yet.

Spoiler: Easy way to win Dr. Teyaal fight

Install 2x Missile Turrets, 1x Hardened Systems. Maybe throw on a Shield Vampire if you feel like turning her tricks against her.

Her initial attack is a Shield Disruptor, and with 80 Systems you have a decent chance to negate it. She tries to use a Shield Vampire when her Shields are low, but 80 Systems makes that likely to fail as well.

Meeting Dr. Teyaal and Teyaal Junior isn't implemented yet, but Soon(tm).

And the reunion with his old family?

Fixed that for you. Gryvain are hermaphroditic females.

I'm not sure what I meant by my comment, but I meant

when Teyaal, Mirrin and Arkos would meet again

... Teyaal Junior is the Gryvain Agent, Selarith. Mirrin (and whoever Arkos is) are unrelated.

I thought that the photos Arkos showed of a young Mirrin and the description of his escaped wife and his last words of farewell gave clear reference to Teyaal, what a disappointment man, whatever thanks.

Yeah thought Dr. Teyal could be mayby Mirrins mother too.

Not all blue Gryvain know each other, that's spacist :ironicat:

Has meeting Dr. Teyaal been implemented yet in Public? I've beaten her the three times but can't find her on the recreation deck.

Nope. Also, it's considered bad form to necro threads like this when simply asking in the "A List of Unrelated Questions" thread would have been more appropriate.
