Title: UQM Philosophy
Post by: Captain Smith on October 01, 2003, 07:41:05 pm
A good question I thought of - If a Shofixti and an Arilou fight, and the Shofixti detonates his glory device, could an Arilou teleport away fast enough to not be hurt?  ;D

The real gameplay answer btw, is SOMETIMES!   I took down 14 shofixti with 6 of my Arilou going down doing that exact thing...  But interesting thought to get your thoughts going...how does the Arilou know the Shofixti is going to press the button?  ;)

LOL!

Maybe it's a Jedi mind trick.

p.s. am I the only one who is reminded of a Pkunk quote ("Only sometimes!") when they read Capt. Smith's post? ;D

if the shofixty is getting close it just detonates - simple as that
and i think i was successfully avoiding the detonation more then once...

If you want to get in-depth with the storyline, the Arilou are telepaths. They'd just "feel" when the Shof was about to atomize itself and teleport away ne'er but a fraction of a second earlier.

Another good question...if a Syreen sucks off the Pkunk crew and promptly blows the Pkunk away after its crew are collected, and the Pkunk resurrects, has the crew there truly resurrected?

Well -- consider that the corporeal entity is not the true person... so the Syreen get the corporeal body, but the Pkunk spirit is gloriously reborn into a new one. Remember that the Syreen song, once the crew is aboard, is permanent and basically erases (kills) the person underneath.
