GMD Team (Fixing anims)

[ElimiNator]

You mean a planet farer out then Pluto (I said Pluto because it is the farest  away)
Do any name you want.

#astronomy - something more in the future
#big dipper - something more in the future
#pluto life - how about the planet on which we find the alien creatures we fight =)

I need to know what to call them.

PS Updated tech tree coming as soon as I know thees names  :).

[Fluffy203]

ok sounds good and i will wait for the update of the tech tree and descriptions with concept art =)

EDIT:
#astronomy - universal understanding
#big dipper - star mapping
#pluto life - intelligent life

there you go =)

[-Archmage-]

Ok I guess I'll tag along, I selected the wrong thing on the poll but I'm for it.

First of all we need some melee units.

Plasma Warrior - a guy with an armored suit, and some energy/plasma based sword-like weapons.

And laser gunners is not future enough, the U.S. military already has some leaser weapons, how about an upgrade be particle weapons in which they research weapons like phasers, disruptors, other energy weapons.

Next, spaceship is way, way, WAY, too cartoonish, little kids use that term, a correct reference to a spacecraft that would fit into the Glest screen is probably shuttlecraft, shuttlepod, fighter, small fighter, ........there are probably quite a  few more references to a ship like that, but what I named is plenty.

Bazookas, would send a guy flying if he were standing on the moon, how about a particle cannon guy that would launch a particle beam, a massive particle beam, that would do tons of damage but would take forever to fire.

I have a lot more I could say, I need to see an updated list of the current units.

[Fluffy203]

i agree with what you said arch , but just wait for the update then we can figure it out

[John.d.h]

Just make sure that if it's going to be a laser (it's laser, not lazer, by the way), don't treat it like it's plasma, and vice-versa.  People confuse the two all the time, but they're really not the same.

A handy reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon

[Fluffy203]

yea they aren't they are completely different , we can't use a laser as a great weapon , but plasma is most likely going to be the weapon , but still waiting on the tech tree

[ElimiNator]

Ok tech tree is done. Its on the first post.
The Plasma sawer is an astronaut that has a glowing saw, I thought a saw was beater then a sword.
And its a melee unit.

Tell me what units you want to do and ill give you the art for them.

BTW how do you remove polls?

[Fluffy203]

have no idea , but all of the units i need a description and concept art or do you want me to just use my imagnation , what is the explorer? is it a mech like the astronaut morphs into a mech? if so i'll do that cause i like it  ;D

[ElimiNator]

You tell me what units you want to do and ill give you the description and concept art for them.

[Fluffy203]

ok right now i'll start on the
#base - which i already know how i'm doing it
#holding base -already know it how i'm doing it too
# astronaut
# explorer - which i want to be the astronaut in side controlling a mech =)

[John.d.h]

Holding Base sounds to me like a prison (i.e. holding cell).  Is that what it is?  Maybe like a POW camp for captured aliens?  If so, I can see how that would be a good research facility if the aliens have better technology than the humans (just torture/interrogate the aliens until they give up their secrets).  If the aliens are super-advanced, then they would probably use some kind of attack drones as their cannon-fodder units.  Depending on how advanced the humans are, genetic modifications or performance-enhancing supplements (i.e. steroids, stimulants, painkillers) could make good infantry upgrades.  If the setting is on the moon where there is super-low gravity, then mag-lev or anti-gravity would be good possibilities.  Also, the bazooka wouldn't be a problem because they actually have very low recoil for the user, because all the exhaust shoots out the back.  In fact, there is a type of bazooka-like weapon called a recoilless rifle.  Actually, the only problem would be that the gun might need its own air tank in order to allow combustion to occur.

[Fluffy203]

i like the holding cell idea , but i don't know yet if they want a beasty/colony alien race or an advanced futuristic race or a mix between them =)

[ElimiNator]

Na a holding base holds the space men.
And Fluffy203 all of thows are good here is a picture of a astronaut,

[Fluffy203]

ok i'm going to refine that cause they wont need such heavy equipment in the future more like a chemical suit , but with more tech on it

[ElimiNator]

Ok.
I am going to do Plasma sawer, Telescope, Plasma gun, and reserch center.

[Fluffy203]

ok , but i think you should rename the plasma sawer to energy soldier , and give him an energy shield and sword , and plasma gun change to particle cannon , cause it sounds better and that takes most of the plasma out =)

[-Archmage-]

Hey wait lets do some more refining of the tech tree, we want this to be the best, ....remember.......
I'll look at the tech tree, and post some more suggestions.
Then I'll pick one to model.

[Fluffy203]

I agree with you arch and i think we can still refine as we get it done at the same time , if you think something should be fixed post it and we can all come to an agreement  ;D

[ElimiNator]

particle cannon? That doesn't sound good? what is a particle cannon?
Do you mean like the particle_proj.xml?

[Fluffy203]

sounds better than plasma gun (we are refining the tech tree names) , this is a stationary weapon that is built right?

[-Archmage-]

Not unless you make it portable... ;)

[Fluffy203]

lmao so arch , what are you working on? and what else do you think we should refine on so far?

[ElimiNator]

Yes its stationary but I think swords and cannons are to old of names for this mod.

What is a particle cannon?

[-Archmage-]

No that's exactly what it's called, a "Particle Cannon"
Anything else would be inaccurate.

[Fluffy203]

I think we should have an energy soldier or name it whatever , but with an energy shield and sword , i can do this if you want me too , but i'd like to see it done and yea particle cannon just sounds sweet , it doesn't shoot a cannon ball , but a high powered blast of particles , like a laser , but not a laser =)
