The Bigger They Are

[Geneviève Lasedri]

I don't know about you, but I'm rather annoyed by these OP godzillas and space worms and what have you coming out of the Sith arse. Prior to [member="Gir Quee"] going on LOA, I was helping develop a weapon to take them down, though now I feel like there needs to be something a little more direct and immediately punishing.

I have two ideas for tech that will take these down.

1. Develop a disease that ruptures arteries, nanobots that carry said disease and attach to the walls of the arteries, and a sabot that these nanobots are contained in. When the sabot punctures the beast's armor, the nanobots are released into the bloodstream, resulting in a painful death over the course of the thread.
2. Develop a starfighter that carries a tungsten rod and drops it on the beast from a high altitude, impaling and frying the beast.

I also am considering creating weapon that produces strobed light and emits hallucinogens, which would break the beasts from their mind control and utterly disorient them. Once this is accomplished, various methods of attack (perhaps the ones I have listed above) may be employed for an easy kill. These are classified as 'NPCs' after all, and if they are going to be used in the way they are currently being used, then they are most certainly killable without the author's permission if the attack is deemed reasonably lethal and well-constructed.

I am willing to dev thread with anyone interested in either of these projects, and I may consider helping create another weapon if someone has another idea that should work.

Also, I may or may not have some ysalimiri on hand that could be utilized to take out the Force connection and slay the beasts...

I hate the Vong, does that help?

You can hate them all you want, but it matters little unless you want to do something about it.

If you want to dev, we'll dev.

(Been watching you in the invasion thread. You're putting up a good fight, for what it's worth.)

 

[Keanu Shan]

thanks yeah sure ill help dev. Im a test pilot so i would definitely like to help with that tungsten penetrator bomb. I had an idea. just imagine 7 of those bundled together, destruction

I'll start the thread sometime tonight, hopefully.

 

[Avalore Eden]

All good, creative ideas to combat the beasties.

 

[Geneviève Lasedri]

Thread is up for anyone who thinks they should participate.

Love the idea of spreading hallucinogenics across a battlefield.

Now to start dropping some bass from orbit.

And I'll try to pop into the dev thread at some point.

Take your time.

But hurry up.

I totally agree.

But why don't we pull a Pacific Rim and make our own monsters? Then we can pull a Godzilla and "let them fight".
In all seriousness though I was thinking of a walker that is 50 (or more) metres tall that can directly take on monsters, like that Leviathan they are using in the invasion.

However until I get off my ass and actually do this I am willing to help with you with your project. The Orion Corporation is at your disposal, if you need it that is.

Walkers are too rigid and slow, and much easier for someone like Praelior to pull some handwave crap on. A fighter is untouchable by a ground-based beast, and a solid, undodgeable projectile will spell certain death rather than allow a narcissistic 'god' deflect heavy lasers by more handwavium. We are talking about a bomber that drops an object that will reach a thousand kilometers an hour by gravity alone. The beast will be utterly impaled and superheated, and will crumble to the ground like rocks.

I would definitely appreciate your assistance in creating this! What does Orion specialize in?

 

[Slate Estrada]

The Orion Corporation specialises in weapons and armour systems, so it should suit your needs. However it is only a Tier 2 company, I expect it will be Tier 3 soon enough.

Another sure way of the projectiles delivery is some sort of rail gun, this option would probably require less of a development thread and would provide a ground variant of the weapon. I do like the idea of dropping tungsten rods onto a enemy from thousands of kilometres up more though!

 

[Geneviève Lasedri]

We'll have to develop one weapon at a time. For now, I think a kinetic projectile will undeniably disintegrate any of these lumbering beasts the Sithies toss at us.

I'd love to see Orion Corporation develop the armor and shields for this bomber. It's going to be a fast ship in order to ascend to the lithosphere, but it will also need to be heavily shielded since it will be a primary target for fighters. Let's get a new thread started.

I'm all for this. I may have to widen my understanding on shields however...

(PM me if you find it easier.)
