I need some TFTD advice

[The Demi-Godly One]

I thought it was stupid because I new about the vibrations and I forgot.(In other words I didn't think before I spoke, wrote )

[Sgt. Strike]

Demi, it's ok, I do it myself. *sighs heavily* you should see the mess I put myself into. Check out the off topics, especially which country you are from. It's locked, but you should be able to read it. Anyway, I think I stuck my foot in my mouth again. Boy it's a good thing I like shoe leather. Anyway, I need to get this back on topic.

Which mopvie was it that they out that rat in that biotic fluid, so that they could breathe underwater? Was it The Abyss? I can't remember. Anyway, if you fill a body with a liquid, the sonic waves produced by the sonic weapns should have less effectiveness. However, I believe that the beams are not just sonic, but also have something else in them. I can't remember what, right now. Anyway, this is what all causes damage. However, on the other hand, in space, no one can hear you scream.

[Jman4117]

Yeah it was the Abyss.

 

Yippie! Post number 100.

[Sgt. Strike]

I thought it was. Dang, I hate it when I am right, and too tired to be sure. Anyway, I am trying to remember the effects of sonic vibrations on various objects at various depths, through densities, etc. I don't remember them all, but the important thing to remember is that the vibrations will affect different things at the same wave length, strength, etc.

[The Demi-Godly One]

I think vibrations are stronger underwater if you are less dense than the water.

[Sgt. Strike]

I believe that the human body is less dense that water. But I can't be 100% sure, though. Because, I think, that density depends on depth. I don't know where to look up such information, but there must be somehtign somewhere that can answer this question. Or else, I am just too tired writing this post to think too clearly. Anyway, going to let someone else find it and answer, unless...

A tip with the bio drones, they don't explode if you use a thermic lance, that's if you get close enough to use one.

[Sgt. Strike]

How about a thermal tazer? I can get close enough. Can you?

[bevan]

ahh the thermal tazer, good in the first bit of the game as a HTH weapon, and if you dont want the alien when you are finished you can dispose of it easily with a grenade. I like trying to take the larger terror units down with the tazer, its fun.

[Sgt. Strike]

They are ok, and also, they are fun. Anyway, I prefer the tazers over the other hth weapons due to it's stun ability, rather than armour piercing.

Although the vibrations wouldn't actually kill anthing the Supersonic waves would. you forget that even deaf people can hear noise they just their ears are telling them their not hearing anything so supersonic waves could go up the ear canal , in theory damaging any brain tissue. The whole point of earwax and the Ear drum (especially when you have an ear infection) is to cut down on the amount of noise getting through which could potentially deafen you. although your Ears would tell your brain its not hearing anything sound is still going in your ear

hope I haven't confused too many people

[tasothmiester]

Don't reply to my last reply here I'm starting a new thread based on looking at the technology seeing as we've kind of gone off topic

[The Demi-Godly One]

I've found that over 90% of topics go off-the-origional-topic.

[bevan]

but most of them get back on topic after a while *hint hint*

[Sgt. Strike]

This is a good thread, but kind needs to get back on track.

[The Demi-Godly One]

Yeah, so lets stop saying that were going to and actually do it! :o

[Jh316]

Actually, water isn't the best medium for vibrations. A solid is.

 

Eh heh. Sorry. Didn't realize this had a second page.

[Sgt. Strike]

Water, at certain depths, has characteristics of a solid.

Also, on a different note, but still, on the TFTD subject, oceans have underwater weather conditions, like the surface. I can't remember which movie that was in, but it's in one of them underwater ones.

[Jman4117]

Jh316: Water is the best conductor of vibrations that you could move through.

 

Strike: Do you suppose it was the Abyss.

[The Demi-Godly One]

Some liquids are more dense than solids. (Like mercury and wood)

[Jman4117]

Just not to healthy to swim around in it though.

[Sgt. Strike]

Jman, I think that was The Abyss.It's been a while.

 

According to the supplement guide to TFTD, the soldiers are using a liquified medium in which oxyen is supsended, and able to move through, something like in the Abyss, instead of helium, or even oxygen/helium mix. However, that's the soldiers only. The bases probably are using helium, or a mixture, to breathe in said base.

This seems to be a bit off topic, but I think it is still on the basis of said topic.

[NCC-1701-F]

OK, with the terror site.... can you say HOT LZ? Keep your troops separated here.... sonic pulsers can do some nasty damage. Go slowly, save TUs to kneel and for a snap/auto shot. Conserve ammo, or the 2nd part is REALLY ugly...... lastly.... If it moves, shoot it!

[Sgt. Strike]

Actually, on a terror mission, check your targets, first. Either send out a rookie, or else throw a flare there. It might help in seeing what's what, and who's who. If you shoot civilians, you get negative score. You are supposed to be saving them. Anyway, I kneel, and let my people snap shot. It helps to have modify both the weapons and the people. My favorite weapon, right now, is the gauss rifle. I am debating on whether or not to modify the heavy gauss and use that like I do the rifle. I could even give it an auto mode. Maybe this should go in another thread?

[NCC-1701-F]

What modifications did u do to the gauss rifle?
