Battle computers (suggestion)

<t> First off, I love ToS. To me, one of the greatest strenghts of ToS is its titan creation. The possibilities are endless and designing, testing and improving each of your own creations is an incredibly satisfying experience. There are titans with all possible combinations of weapons, optional sys...

RE: WOSP is a "Zombie" - Project now . . .

What exactly is WOSP, and why is it a "Zombie"-project?

I'm just curious ...

RE: 2 mediums: Firefly & Achilles

So, in order to upload the database entries, I just renamed the file into 3.jpg.

Remember to rename it back into 3.xch in order to use it.

2 mediums: Firefly & Achilles

<t> Although there's not quite as much going on in this forum as it used to a couple of years ago, I'll nevertheless share 2 titan designs of mine, with whoever is interested in them. And to make things more interesting, both share a story of failure and success.<br/> <br/> <br/> Titan Name: Firefly...

RE: special energy weapons

But which skill category would be checked then? The weapons skill? Or the defensive skill (which has as much to do with shutting down weapons as the E.W. skill)?

Remember: It was just a thougt.

RE: Head shot and engine blast survival

<t> As far as scientists know, nothing would happen. The fusion-reaction would stop immediately, so there's practically nothing that could be dangerous. And what has plasma to do with the reaction? Nothing, afaik, there is no plasma, because the hydrogen is merged to helium with 100% efficiency. Onl...

RE: Mini Titan's

Millenia? You are trying to make a Titan as light as possible, and you are using Millenia therefore? If you forgot about it (what i don't think) : Millenia is the heaviest armor. So why Millenia?

ORIGINAL: Thorgrim

BTW, a Replicant doesn't show as Replicant in a green scan. It shows as Human, as they're intrinsically similar.

I didn't know about that until now ... Funny, these details. [;)]

RE: Head shot and engine blast survival

<t> AND they are only using hydrogen, which is merged into helium, which is completely harmless, as we all know. However, if the hydrogen tanks get damaged, it would be very probable, that the hydrogen explodes and that would result in a nice explosion too. However, in any case, it wouldn't be half ...

RE: special energy weapons

However, deactivating weapons would require a (working) battle computer. An Electronic Warfare skill check would be needed to shut down the weapons correctly, otherwise the...

RE: Active Radar

<t> That all would make the whole concept of sensors, direct/indirect sight, scanning, ect. unnecessarily complicated. In fact, it is an interesting idea, but TOS hadn't had problems without an Active Radar since, so it's better to keep the good ol' concept as it is. Besides, the programers would ha...

RE: Head shot and engine blast survival

<t> Wait a minute ... the engines in the game are fusion reactors? Then it's all illogical, because fusion reactors can't explode. If some parts of the FR get damaged (like the magnetic field projector), the fusion simply stops, because it can't go on under the circumstances (like air pressure, temp...

Yeah, it gives you a feeling ... of ... of power.
However, charges can be nasty, though. Especially if you are trying to stand up and 15 pairs of legs keep kicking at you all the time.

RE: My top 4 medium titans

<t> That's quite a big change, i think. It fully turns around the original purpose of the titan. And i think, there are already enough medium Titans with NBs. Maybe you could rename your version of the Katana, because it's not quite the same Titan it was originally. <br/> <br/> PS: Some time ago, my...
