HOOOooo... Almost regretting supporting the OOC thread.What, you'd rather have this crap in the main threads?
@GWG - Quadrotors...but less effective than every quadcoptor built in the real world. Because all of those are smaller.
I am familiar with square/cube law, yes. Are you familiar with attack helicopters? They can have a decent amount of armor, while still having enough firepower to take out tanks. A support quadrotor around the size of an Artee would be more effective than the heli by weight, because it's smaller- S/Q Law works in it's favor here.
Furthermore, it needs way less armor than an RT to have a similar survivability. Its profile is flatter, so it's harder to target, and as I stated before a quadrotor can lose a rotor and still be fairly effective. Not to mention that it can fly around in very erratic patterns.How would the "flat" profile present a smaller target while still packing all the stuff the current R3 does?
@GWG - XCOMI started playing for the same reason and determined that the first missions are kinda tough, but then you start losing your best soldiers and then it all goes downhill.
No, XCOM starts hard, then gets waay easier. I recently got it because of all the people in ER talking about it.
It's a cakewalk after you have three max level soldiers.
...Aaand that ended up entirely addressing GWG. Huh.Huh.
I assumed it was some kind of technical term, or maybe a sci-fi concept, not a real kind of miniature flying thingy.Quote1. Quadcoptors? Link, please.Dude, just google it yourself. Don't you know how to internet?
But unless we can somehow process Grateclones into RU it ain't happening....Aren't both the human body and the sheets the AM makes everything from made largely from carbon?
have you considered in the weight of her soul?Some people tried to weigh the soul by comparing the weight of people shortly before and shortly after death.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
that being said, Nef should avoid the upper floor of the houseThat's why I was trying to figure out the pressure. Frankly, I'm amazed she didn't crash into the basement.
Hm. Well, still, that's a heck of a lot more dense than any mere mortal matter.Power: As a wall spirit Neferis can walk into/occupy any wall made of clay, minerals or stone, and jump out at any point along them. She also weighs a couple tons, which isn't really a power, per say.Nope.
Have you considered lowering it again?And I clearly remember Neferis being stated as "several" tons.Maybe at first, but it has been a couple tons for a while now.
A 19-year-old calling a 27-year-old young man.The magic of the internet. And of me trying a lot harder than anyone else I've met on the Internet to be reasonable, I guess.
Metric tons, GWG. :vMetric tons are 1000 kilograms. That's what Australia uses, it's what Egypt uses, it's what I used.
Still, oh dear.
I think he was more concerned about the 100% OOC chatter.(Uh, guys?)((Well, as I said, I posted defense stuff here cause I thought it was most appropriate. But if people think not, off to the OOC thread I go!))
Gecher mind out of the gutter, young man. I was talking about multitasking.The only one I can think of that Jim can say around Grate."And having four arms is pretty advantageous when it comes to close combat, believe me."That's the only use you can think of?I'm sure May can think of a few good uses for them.
Yeah. Still...segues are good. And not just mental ones.If you completely ignore that Jim referred to Lars as both 'brother' and 'his', before switching subjects then maybe."I guess none of us are completely sane, so I count it lucky that his variety is harmless. Just ask Saint Milno." Jim chuckled to himself. Saint asked about Milno and the AM, and he thought about it. "I don't know what the deal between the two of them is. I guess Milno is one of the few people she respects enough to not kill when they ask her questions."Assuming Saint* isn't telepathic, here's what he heard:Quote from: Jim"I guess none of us are completely sane, so I count it lucky that [Lars's] variety is harmless. Just ask Saint Milno...I don't know what the deal between the two of them is. I guess Milno is one of the few people she respects enough to not kill when they ask her questions."Saint may now think Lars is female. And violent.
Noted.Ah, OK. Well, I'm not one to tell people how to play their character, but if Jim finds out Grate's doing that he'll ask him to stop... then ground him too if he doesn't.Which part?Anyways, I've been considering if Grate would be willing to tinker for Simus. On one hand, it's nice to Simus, but on the other it's mean to Jim.I'm not quite sure what you mean. Mind clarifying?
I mean I've been considering having Grate make tinker things in Tinker for the next few days, since it would be nice to Simus (and Pyro), but on the other hand it's kind of ignoring Jim's authority and such.
Whatever. You knew what I meant.My point. Jim needs to remember that other people can't see in his head.His head isn't worth looking into. It's either mostly empty or filled with stuff that has backups elsewhere. Again, synthflesh body.
