Touch-And-Go
Description
One of the Toughs' ships.
History
The ship known as the Integrity when it was part of Pranger's Bangers, was re-named the Touch-and-Go post-refit [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2006-01-05%7C2006-01-05]]] after Schlock was granted a salvage claim on it [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com:8080/2005-08-04%7C2005-08-04]]].
The Touch-and-Go narrowly escaped destruction when Admiral Emm wanted to wipe out Tagon's Toughs for knowing about Project Laz-R-Us. Breya Andreyasn rammed it with the UNSV Terra Firmator to shield it from the gravitics of Emm's battleplate UNSV Morokweng [2007-12-16]. Its command tower was torn off shortly afterward [2007-12-30]. When it was repaired aboard Morokweng//,// the command tower was replaced with a new bridge flush with the hull [2008-03-02].
It was severely damaged during the Credomar incident and subsequently broke in half [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-03-08%7C2009-03-08]]]. After this, it was rebuilt to a more compact design [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-04-10%7C2009-04-10]]]. Later still, during the [[Oisr�|Oisri]] incident, its AI Tagii went insane and rammed the Morokweng, leading a Pa'anuri into it [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-12-20%7C2012-12-20]]]. The Touch-and-Go survived the incident, but it was too badly damaged to be repaired [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2013-01-13%7C2013-01-13]]]. The Toughs' next ship was the gunship Bristlecone.

Speculation
After the ship's second refit, the rec deck no longer seems to have that infamous flooding problem; maybe they finally got rid of the pools?
