Noisy Cricket, thats prolly one of my favorite weapons too.

As for the acid rain idfea, I was thinking a dropship modeled to look like a cloud, and instead of the thrusters firing shortrange bullet particles, apply thrust to them would instead generate green gravity affected particles with fairly high penetration. It's a cloud you can fly that kills things and rapes the terrain when you move it basically. Or even when you dont move it.


And maybe when the doors ope, it looks like light flashing, and a thunderbolt drops out?

That's not the sort of thing I was thinking of, that's totally impossible.
I mean something along the lines of an atmospheric probe, which sends information to a satellite, which causes map-wide acid rain!

That'd be cool methinks...

How do you say "Mega Lag" in latin? I want it to sound profound.

But seriously, I think a pilotable acid rain cloud would be neat, "controlled" terrain rape, the things just a hazard even when its not doing anything.

One thing that seems to be missing is a gun that fires dropship engine pods. I think I could make that....

That would be fun, but yes, rain would be super lag.

So is there any new stuff going on with Orc science? Perhaps an orc war machine!?

Right now I'm making a bomb (I'm lazy, it's taking a while) which uses the concept of nuclear fission.
It leaves radiation!

I'll get to actors later, if I can think of a good reason for one.

*update*

Thorium fission bomb added.

A large glass contraption which you throw, and after 30 seconds it explodes in a massive firey explosion with lots of fire, and also spreads radiation all over the place. (I really like how I did it)
If you kill it before then, it spreads a small amount of radiation and doesn't explode. (thorium is radioactive)

Actually, about a good 80% or more of any metals within the "-ium" family are radioactive. Ooh! What about Osmium body armor? Incredible mass but also Incredible protection from ballistics!

I never suggested they weren't.

I'd prefer to make actors based around principals, not just that X material is hardcore.

can we steer the creative thinking towards compounds instead of pure elements?

Thorium is from Mass Effect.

Hah, thorium does exist in the real world if you've ever studied the periodic table.

Thorium is also found in WoW.

Yeah, I looked it up, also found Helium-3 on Wikipedia.

Well, you gotta give em' credit for being hard sci-fi bout it.

I like the Geiger Counter effect you have with the Thalium bomb, best way to show radiation while being realistic.

That's what I'm on about. I'm studying chemical engineering, and, you know, working with pure elements is a bit boring. Not that your weapons are bad, they're great, but you could base things on different compounds for better effects. It's like instead of working with cyan, yellow, magenta, white, and black, you work with all the combinations that they make!
