Dolores Cacuango, also known as Mamá Doloreyuk, was a leader in the fight for indigenous rights in Ecuador born on this day in 1881. She was active in the Glorious May Revolution of 1944 and co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI).

Cacuango was born to enslaved people in San Pablourco who worked the Pesillo Hacienda near Cayambe without being paid. She had no access to education due to her lack of resources, and learned Spanish while working as a housemaid.

In 1930, Cacuango was among the leaders of the historic workers' strike at the Pesillo hacienda in Cayambe, which was a milestone for indigenous and peasant rights. During the Glorious May Revolution in Ecuador, Cacuango personally led an assault on a government military base.

The same year, with the help of Ecuador's Communist Party, Cacuango co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI), an early group in the fight for indigenous rights. She also helped establish some of the first bilingual indigenous schools.

    Engi cruiser sucks unwashed gamer balls. Let's not even talk about the advanced addition giving 1/4 of the ships you see in the first sector the 30 buck 1 power drone that completely ruins your entire build. Let's talk about how fucking boring it is to "target shields and activate drone" and just sit there hoping it doesn't target the stupid door room with every single shot. You have to spend an exhaustible resource for every encounter and every encounter is pretty much guaranteed to chisel about 5hp from your hull.

      Yea, engi A is very pasive you are pretty fucked if you find any 2 shield ships early, the other 2 engi ships have better weapons and are simply better that engi a

      Also for some reason no engi ship have boarding drones or defence drone as a starting drone which sucks because they are fun to use

      Are you firing your ion blast into weapons? A tactic you can use is syncing the ion blast with your drone so the drone removes shields and then your ion shot goes into weapons. Eventually the drone will miss and you'll ion shields and then your drone starts dealing actual damage. You can usually keep the ion stack even in this case. To deal with the anti drone, if you depower your drone when the anti-drone's shot would hit your drone is actually not destroyed, and then the anti drone takes a while to charge up its next shot.

        This just completely changed the equation thank you

              did it still do the spinning in place thing animation with the electricity effect? if it did that means you didn't power it off soon enough, otherwise I'm not sure what you mean since that shouldn't be possible

                I powered down the drone when I lost sight of the anti-drone off screen. I didn't see either when it happened

                  hmm yeah thats one thing that's annoying about the enemy ship window, I know that can be a problem when you're dealing with the anti drone. IMO it's still worth it if you lose one or two drone parts to an anti-drone. I actually messed up and got hit by the anti drone twice in one fight today 😅
