How Do Seige Terrets Magically Shoot Threw Walls?

TetrisNinja · March 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">yeah . . why is that?</div> since the beggining of NS its been a trial of trying and make the game fair between marines and aliens, I feel that its done and exellent job of that and while its not perfect its still a pretty fare game. Siege terrets are importent in keeping the balance of the game but how do they manage to shoot threw anything and everything? feel free to post your thereos on this stragne phanonemon.

Read the manual.

TetrisNinja · March 2004

what manual? on the site or for the game?

Gadzuko · March 2004

Both, actually. Ironic how the site is actually for the game, huh?

TetrisNinja · March 2004

Nah, I wasn't mad at you. If I was mad, I probably wouldn't have responded at all.

TetrisNinja · March 2004

oh now I see that makes sense so how exactly does it rearrange gravity to kill things?

comrade · March 2004

Nanites.

Do you really care? Just accept whatever the manual said as fact.

TetrisNinja · March 2004

well I do care. I'm not some mindless bot that just trys to kill things but can't cuz I'm retarded I'm a person I need to know the backround of the game for it to become the real intense game that NS should be

I see one of two possibilities here, Tetris.

1) Either you've been playing this game for about half a week tops, and therefore shouldn't be posting to S&I even once, let alone a string of bandwidth-wasting topics.

2) You're just a troll, and therefore shouldn't be here at all.

I've already reported you for one of the worthless things you put on S&I, so it would definitely be in your best interests to quiet down, so the mods don't have more ammo when they decide it's time to bring down the hammer.

It's caused by artificially created black holes converging in the firing chamber of the cannon. This leads to a wormhole effect being created between the black holes and the object under fire.

Happy now?

Well if you DO care, why didn't you bother looking at the 'World' the web sites side button. But since your too lazy to do it, i will because im such a nice guy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Does it really matter to know how it's done? Do you really need to know the logic behind it? Just play the freaking game and make up a theory of your own. It's a game ffs.

:/

Gravity field distortion on selected coordinates, tied to what the commander can see.

CutterJoe · March 2004

*RETRACTED* Yea dude you need to read the FAQ's and stuff.

I would think the nanites have something to do with the gravity field distortion, as was mentioned earlier.

PolyMorph · March 2004

read his other posts in the S&I forum.

Plaguebearer · March 2004

It does it because that's how they're CODED to work, designed that way for game balance reasons.

Thats_Enough · March 2004

how has this topic not been locked yet? message spam anyone?

if you read the manual, the sieges cause a gravitational shift, and a sonic boom like effect. walls and such are not a factor, and it causes 750 dmg to the structure and 350 incidental damage. simple as that.

but dont flame the guy just because he's new to the game

Act dumb and you get threated the same way.

Supernorn and Moomin win.

GG no RM.

Gliss · March 2004

Why do you need an explanation? Here, just make one up:

Siege cannons are magic, and shoot fairy dust (which goes through walls because they're fairys' dust), and it goes into the building and each particle explodes.

There.

Hammers require ammo?

Maybe thats why I can never get a nail in straight... I need to reload.

how do buildings, med packs etc fall magically out of the sky?
how come when you die, you dont actually die?
how come when an alien bites from half a mile away you get hit?
how can offence chambers see?
how come hives are so important yet so defenceless?
how can an alien species travel through space without technology?
why am i writing all this?
