SAMASzero

In four words:

Guyver vs The Terminator.

SAMASzero

Why do we see so many evil Alien Intelligences?

Think about it: To them, we tend to be seen as little more than bugs.

Of the people who seek out and/or regularly interact with insects in real life, how many of them are positively concerned with the bugs' well-being?

For the most part, I love this book. A few notes though: I assume NG 2 is gonna have the Power Armor and vehicles. Just make sure you get some tanks in there, because that's a market that's been wide open ever since IHA got put down. I also hope for some Wellington stuff as well. Maybe they're branc...

Why is it unlikely that Wormwood was created from scratch? There are communion spells which can create permanent additions to the planet through permanent PPE expenditure. There's no reason why the whole planet couldn't have just been created from raw PPE, once you had a small seed to add to over t...

I just came to a somewhat horrifying realization about my previous hypothesis: If the piece of Wormwood in the Southern Federation is budded off, then it is possibly growing . Sinking tendrils into the earth to feed off Geothermal energy and devouring any soil and rock in the way of it's expansion (...

SAMASzero

My guess is that the chunk of Wormwood that got rifted in has basically budded into a micro-Wormwood organism. Anything on it's surface (and maybe even within an indeterminate radius from it) counts as being on the planet Wormwood.

SAMASzero

Honestly, the only thing I would do for Gods on the Power scale would be to give them the same energy-manipulation ability as the Nightlords in Nightbane and Dark Conversions. It always seemed wrong to me that they were the only ones on that end of the Supernatural scale to have that ability.

SAMASzero

I see it being just like an Operator, with additional considerations for the Magic involved.

SAMASzero

Not so much a character but a character group.

The Icebergs: a squad of mercenaries made up primarily of Algor Frost Giants. A mix of high-tech and magic OCCs, one of the most notable being a Headhunter with his bionic limbs being made from Giant Robot parts.

SAMASzero

Thats entirely my point that gryphon points out. The fact that the "good" guys are ethier complete isolationists with the whole outlook of "if we ignore the boogeyman he wont get us" or to spread thin. Lets look at the world as we know it to day as compared to 70 years ago, toda...

It's not just the sea level rise. Atlantis didn't come up slowly. There was a gigantic tidal wave, or tsunami. That much water would have caused massive destruction to the landscape, and erosion would have sucked away a lot of land mass, both initially and for several years afterwards (I'm presumin...

SAMASzero

Agreed. Though I recognize her as a real threat, in the long term, to C.S. stability. She isn't going to topple their government, ever, on her own, but should it happen, so should some sort of real change come about, I expect her to be a major power player in those changes. And because of that, in ...

The Republicans, according to the newly retcon'ed canon, are responsible for planting caches of information and/or gear, and creating almost all of the nations now in existence. They went from being a legend to being responsible for EBERYTING. In case you cant tell, i hate the entire concept and th...

I was reading over Juicer Uprising the other day and a thought struck me.... Julian (according to Aftermath) is far too old to be a mega-juicer anymore. The fact he's still alive (and not suffering the really horrible last call of the mega-juicer) is attributed as something of a miracle. What if it...

I Gnominate we stop this silliness.

Rifts Underseas Page 109. This battle already happened. The Ticonderoga won.

I wonder who would win in a battle against an NGR Poseidon, though.

SAMASzero

After that I move onto my next project Heroes Unlimited: Hardware Unlimited , which I think is going to be really fun When you do, please, please make it so that you can actually build a proper Super Robot? Exotic Power sources, pulling weapons out of nowhere (dimensional pocket? On-the-spot nanofa...

the problem with single-player is that you need to make the AI work. That's a problem for every game. now, assuming it's just a mod, i'm sure that won't be *too* hard for the stuff that is essentially just a different kind of gun... but i suspect not all things would be so easy. a realistic respons...

On the other hand, we're talking about an intergalactic entity here. Even if the average TW operation wasn't any bigger than Stormspire (and they are), you would have tens of thousands of them all over the UWW, working from standardized designs. I figured UWW TW production was semi-industrial. These...

SAMASzero

Well... Yes and no. I will probably have to think on it, but for right now, my gut is saying that for the UWW Magic and Techno-Wizardry pretty much is their technology. They don't come at Techno-wizardry as the mixing of two separate disciplines but as the norm. For the most part, they don't see the...

SAMASzero

Then isn't the proper solution then be to apply pass-through damage to every heat- or cold-based weapon with a sustained effect?

The only possible contention I seem to be seeing here is how long "sustained" should entail?

I don't see why you can't do both.

Since the second game, you could play the Ratchet & Clank series in both 1st and 3rd person (3rd by default).

SAMASzero

This thread reminds me of a discussion regarding whether or not Iron Wood (which makes wood into MDC) is still active if you change wood into a living creature. I would say yes, due to the spell "Summon and Create Clay Animals" which flatly stated the effects of casting the spell then tra...

My $200.02: I agree that a 3rd-person Shooter/RPG hybrid would be best. No, I don't think you can make an exact "copy the RPG mechanics to the screen" adaptation. I also don't think you should . The idea is not to put Rifts the game into Videogame format, but Rifts the setting . The idea o...

Except that the absence of evidence IS evidence of absence. Here's the proof: m I don't understand logic well enough to point out the problem with that formula, but sufficed to say, just because we haven't found Joan Prosek's finger doesn't mean it got destroyed. I'm not getting is where the line o...

There's a sentient nebula about an AU across that's used as the ship's power source.

Actually, A.R.C.H.I.E. Seven's hardware is Superior to Archie 3. The thing is, Seven doesn't have the centuries of experience and isolation that A.R.C.H.I.E. Three had, and is likely to be upgraded to/replaced by A.R.C.H.I.E. Eight long before it has the chance to evolve into something like Archie 3.

SAMASzero

It is the correct assumption, since so far as we know, machines are created things and not things that spontaneously evolve. The presence of an ecosystem does not mean that something evolved. Wormwood is an ecosystem and it is implied that may have been created. Entire ecosystems can be created out...

At no point does being a mercenary require one to stop fighting evil or fighting for good, mercenaries are often called in to help the innocent who can't help themselves. Yet they are mercenaries, which primarily means you fight for money. Holy Terrors presumably don't have many expenses (do they e...

HELLS YES!!!!!! This is now a "Must See" on my list! Thx for posting it! I agree this [i]could[i] be Rifts in a way. Rifts needs BIGGER robots... Rifts has some pretty huge robots already. Just look at the triax devastator I believe those are pretty close to the size of these robots they ...

Despite all the arguing on both sides, the fact still remains that Air Travel is A: Expensive, and B: Dangerous. And until it gets C: Profitable enough to be worth both A and B , there won't be a whole lot of air travel over Rifts' Earth. Enhancer and the others aren't saying why it CAN'T , they're ...

Yeah, I'm back. I got hit by the Inspiration Bug. At the very least, I want to make an outline of my points even if I don't make the full objects/vehicles/stats. Now for the equipment. The books tend to mention that UWW Techno-wizardry is so advanced, it tends to look like regular tech. I would prob...

Palladium (to say nothing of Rifts) really does need to branch out, if for no other reasons than to get their name out. My first suggestion would be a re-release of Promise of Power for the 3DS (and even PSVita if you like). I'd heard that the game was pretty good, but it had the misfortune of being...

To be fair, the "mini-missiles may not be unguided" thing hasn't been concrete since Juicer Uprising at least, when they introduced a bike with vertically-launched Mini-missiles.

Some are my ideas, some are responses to the rest of y'all: I don't mind bringing SDC combat back up more. In fact I have a few ideas on that -- The most common MDC weapon will be similar to the BigBore guns from New West and the Black Market sourcebook. They would be capable of firing both SDC and...

SAMASzero

One thing that has to be recognized is that one of the Machine's biggest advantages was that it was in control of the planet's... well, everything . That's why it could deploy the Nanobot plague on a worldwide scale and can maintain it constantly. On Rifts' Earth, it will not have that advantage. No...

in this case, a micro-nuke-pumped X-ray laser.

Still here? No? Too bad! When I last left off, the Warlocks had finally made contact with the ancient Star Elves. The Elves are happy the Dominators are (mostly) gone, and the Warlocks are ecstatic for the opportunity to learn from an ancient magic-based civilization. Treaties are drawn up, and it l...
