And such a cliché opponent as well. Even more so than "bugs."Originally posted by BlueClaw
Perhaps a conquering race of machines would make a worthy opponent for Confed's attention.
I don't think it's written anywhere in the rulebook of the universe that machines have no emotions by default. Besides, the Kilrathi and the Nephilim are both assholes, and have none of that emotional baggage themselves, nor do they tire easily enough to make a difference.They would be more lethal than any enemy Confed has ever faced before, due to their lack of emotions such as fear, remorse or mercy, and their resistance to the usual disadvantages biological pilots would have, like fatigue and stress.
If you're building these things on assembly lines, to be mere drones, why not just build drone ships, and skip making them separate?Also, the loss of a mechanized pilot would be a minor one, as more could be quickly rebuilt on an automated assembly line.
That's what these black hole shields mean, eh? I'm afraid I couldn't possibly fathom why, but that's probably because I'm trying to come up with a reason that makes sense.Originally posted by Darth Thrakhath
the black hole shields mean that you have smother a ship with gunfire, then fire more powerful shots, and chances are those shots will get through
Yes, and the Mantu, because we have a reason for that!oh yeah, kill the Nephilim! and the mantu!

Why the hell do you guys keep saying that every new race is a threat to humanity? Don't you think that an alliance, with say the Mantu, might open up all kinds of possibilities?

NEW ENEMY:
They come in 2 species, the Hemo (they are red tiny and with great sapience) and the Rroids (little constructor guys like the mopoks).
They live in the same planet, it have 2 continents: the first *Aji Puta Pario* and the second: *Chili*
They have one god-godess called *Hermaphroditius*.
Due to their simplicity all of their fighters are cylindrical, like cigarettes, their normal Carrier can hold 20 fighters, this carrier is commonly named *Box*.
The Kilrathi are an emotionally repressed group of jerkoffs. I'd bet that he was merely following forms that had been ground into his skull by living around a bunch of other Kilrathi. I doubt he felt any pain or loss. Simply, he recognized that avenging the death was an appropriate duty.Originally posted by BlueClaw
Do you believe Khasra's reaction came out of emotion, or out of a need to avenge family honour?

All the more reason to blow them up, no?Originally posted by Lynx
I don't like biological ships, don't ask why, I have no rational explanation for it.
