Screw your digits. A giant crab isn't humorous, unless it doesn't have anything but huge claws to manipulate stuff with.

And I wasn't quite happy with that post either, but I'm getting there. I'm still too used to Impact, from Umbral.

manipulate stuff? I'm a giant cyborg crab, using those, what do you call them, doors? Yea screw that, I go kool-aid man on that wall. Whose gonna stop me? I'M A GIANT CYBORG CRAB

With my demo skill, can I create my own explosives design? Or only already-existing bombs? And I can create grenades as well, right? Seekers too?

Dracorion · 06-02-2010, 06:46 AM

Beats me. Even if you could, who the hell is going to use those seeker missiles and grenades?

More importantly, I don't think you even have the machine you need for that.

You know, technically Ellen arrived at the meeting at 8:01. Because Ellen is not late, everyone else is just early.

Where does the manual mention a machine associated with demolitions? Or any equipment, for that matter? I assume that if we can't buy it, we don't need it.

Is there a specific skill associated with grenade use?

Dracorion · 06-02-2010, 09:02 AM

Throwing weapons.

Making stuff, y'know, making stuff, usually involves nanofabricators like the General Hive that Tyrfing has. I mean, I suppose you could maybe put them together yourself, but nanofabrication makes it so much easier because all you have to do is find whatever crap people throw out, put it in the gizmo, upload the blueprint into the gizmo and BAM!

Geminex · 06-02-2010, 09:06 AM

All the legal nanofabricators can't make explosives, I think. Weapons yes, explosives, no. You'd need to hack one to get it to work, and if you fail, there goes your fabricator.

I was gonna nanofabricate the ingredients (the manual says you can do that), put the explosives together myself. The manual seemed to expect me to.
All hail the might manual.

Unless, PF, I can let the fabricator do all the work and just shape and plant the charges myself? Cause that would be convenient.

thats why I took chemistry, so I know what goes boom. That plus nanofabber equals theoretically limitless supply of explossives. I say theoretic because I still need compounds. Still simple ones aren't that hard to come across, nitrogen, potassium, sodium, ect are all found in organic matter. Sulfer and phosphoros will be abit harder but still not that rare. Heck find me some magnesium and I can even make flash gernades

In case you're wondering, the chair never moved.

You can get away with a lot by requesting sense filters to ignore an object temporarily and then messing around with a virtual doppelganger of that object.

Right... Though how can you get our sense filters to ignore an object? Doesn't the command to do that have to come from us?
