Quote
(a) - Assimilated ExHIM - Pick 1
    [1]   1)cheap(normally very expensive)
    [2]   2)strong(integrity)
    [4]   3)productive(energy generation)

    (b) - Specialist Crystal Form
            -[Storage bulb: High energy storage. Ability to quickly dump energy in a controlled fashion, even into the air (Defensive uses)]

    [4]    -[Liquid Crystal: A thing that actually contains crystals and liquid, preferably pressurized. Crystal opens up, and little bits of you permeate the stuff around it! Basically, AOE assimilation/making things easier to assimilate.*]

    [1]    -[Self-Awareness] Greater capacity to monitor and analyse the crystalline entity.

    [2]    -[Laser emitter: Able to turn energy into frequency and phase-coherent light, which can be projected at significant distances]

    [1]      -[Tesla coils]: able to shock anything that got close with more efficiency than normal. Longer range, better damage, more cost-efficient... May even allow us to have some middle range "electric-sonar"

            -Other

    (c) - Unique Feature
    [3]   -Ability to sense even small disturbances in the electromagnetic field of the air and ground surrounding us. Would allow us to see

    [4]   -[Transmission] Ability to communicate with crystals without the need for physical contact]


My votes. Added the Tesla thingy. I don't see the point of the liquid one.

You don't see the point of a passive defensive bulb which would assimilate or shock anything that touches it?

Wow, I really screwed up just now. For some reason I remembered sight being ahead. But meh, not much lost. Easily fixed in only a couple minutes. Gotta be more careful with flood-revealing areas in the future.

Gonna keep voting open some more. Still need to screw around with...spoilerish stuff a bit.

Last chance to vote for self-awareness! Our crystals might be cracked and brittle, our electrical flow could be resisted and inefficient, Our crystal pillar might be on the verge of collapse, our crystal structure might be resonating with alien interference. Wouldn't you want to know?!!!

You do realize, of course, that it would probably fall under C, not B, in the first place, right?

Just saying.

I can't believe no one's pointed that out :P

It sounds more like a speciality than a unique feature to me...

B is a specialised crystal form, not a "speciality".

I don't think that was what the liquid crystal was supposed to be. It was supposed to be a bulb filled with crystals, which upon being touched or demand would open and contract, spraying crystal like fluid around it This fluid/crystal would then assimilate thingies. Not in fact, what your idea is saying.

Still, it might cause people who voted for it to reconsider.

neh. if we want to make it a bulb, we can simply grow a border or crystal around it.

Voting is henceforth frozen.

EDITED OUT: Shoulda PMd this. Gist is, dont change suggestion desriptions.

The original is being used for (b). An update will be coming later today.

EDIT: Scratch that. Delays are apparently par for the course. Too many recording to watch, so little time.
