Hehe nah your right, the sound goes around the corner but bats only get the first bounce
Ultrasound is valid though and ultra low frequencies can travel for miles so theoretically i could map more through echolocation than i could with standard eyeballs.
Mapping at that distance is obviously impractical but it will allow for extremeley large rooms to be mapped with ease.
make that wireless echolocatoin module
Just the module itself or would you like to build it into something that could like, fly around and map for you? Something like that wouldn't be to hard I'd think. I mean, least for places with atmosphere.
Attempt to create a bullet hell shooter in VR designed for Field Manipulator users to train their skills, have the game specified as follows:
Every barrage is created in a pattern determined by a randomized equation that incorporates various complex mathematical formulas.
Before every barrage, the equation that controls the barrage is displayed for a short period of time.
The game will be so difficult that the only way to survive a barrage is to quickly analyze the formula to predict the trajectory and pattern of bullets.
Bosses have shields that have complex equations displayed on them, the equations change every few seconds.
To damage a boss, the equations must be solved and the answer inputted, this will temporarily disable the shield.
oooooo
You're making Typing of the Dead. Or more accurately Ikaruga for Manipulators.
Hmmm Now this dear friend, I will need a bit to think about. But good on ya, ya clever little bugger.
"Hmm, neat. Too bad on the limited range though..well, let's leave it at that."
Exit VR, look around the rec room if anything interesting happened in the meantime, if not go watch TV
Well...depends on your definition of interesting. I mean, over there in the corner there looks to be a greater demon, there's a machine over there that gives you meat that may or may not be long pork, so to speak, and you're surrounded by murderous space criminals with enough space guns to shoot your space guts into space orbit.
But I guess thats all fairly normal. Nah, tv time.
The channel it's currently on is talking about efforts to recycle and retire old Altered war weapons.
"Right thats it, medic time.
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!
((I really do have the worst luck with artifacts.))
In space no one can hear you scream. Especially when you have no head.
Yeah, I'm using the ambiguity of your action as an opportunity to fuck with you. Big surprise right?
((Hmm ok))
Message doc about those effects of the virus I wanted to know about.
Identify growth medium, Along with the minimum ctritical mass for a crystal seed to grow
Identify chemical makeup and molecular structure of crystals
Finally see if by the use of growth preventer and flanges to stop crystals clogging the joints of the armour create a coating of Crystal to refract low power lasers.
Alright, I'll be straight with ya here, space man, I have no idea what you're referring to when you say "Virus" in this context. I don't remember anything having to do with a virus in relation to these crystals. Could ya give me a hint as to what you're talking about?
((Think if it as the AK equivalent and avatar of war as the M16 equivalent. Oh and the 8 meter exoskeleton will have system like armour shrikes. Also want it to have a a gauss rifle, laser rifle or coil gun that it coould carry along with a avatar of wars tesla saber. Or a plain old sword. It would be used for looking over taller objects without waiting jump fuel, support of other teammates in battle and fighting any threats which are to large or a normal person while still being cheap. It's boosters woul look like the mk3s, faster than a battlesuit but slower than a avatar and the same with armour.))
Design a mech between a avatar and a battlesuit. First get the exoskeleton and scale to 8 meters while adding somesort of seat or system to allow a normal person to pilot it then put armour where the pilot will be and any other vital areas. Also scale a gauss rifle, laser rifle or somesort of gauss machine-gun for it. Also design a melee weapon for it to use. Also give it boosters on the back. It should be about in-between the avatar and battlesuit in speed and and slighty less armour than a battle suit while being cheaper. But still give the avatar and battlesuit usefulness as the new mech should be able to go places a avatar cant.
Hmm. Ok so lets say that the Battle suit is basically this
But with less women, at least so far. Would you be good with that, but with armor stripped off to keep it light and extra boosters? Because thats basically the melee type Battle suit.
I ask because when you go custom, everything gets more expensive, even if it seems like it should be cheaper. You're pretty much not gonna get a middle ground there for a middle ground price.
((Seems the weirdest stuff happens when I'm not looking.))
Go to the infirmary. Ask whether they can treat Astro coma. Look around for anything unusual.
The nurse tells you "MAYBE!" and bounces away, apparently very happy about something. Eh. As per unusual things, there's a weird looking cube on the ground.
Wow. Now-
Dropping aside the painting, Maurice started running towards the source of the scream. ...Somewhere in the barracks?
Find the person pleading for medical help. Escort the injured to the infirmary ASAP. Judging by the scream tone, that person is not yet dying, but is about to be. I have to hurry.
(( The bathroom is in the barracks, right? Also, we could hear that cry for medical aid, couldn't we?))
((Now, the talk is awesome; would definitely like to listen to another one. So many answers given, so many questions raised. I suppose we should really start piling up the hinted knowledge and refining it with lengthy discussions and complex theories. ))
You run into the bathroom and Find a man staring at the mirror, screaming for seemingly no reason. He doesn't look injured, although he is trying to grab something off the floor that doesn't appear to be there. Huh. You'd be lying if this was at all new or disturbing to you.
"Oh good. Another one whose brain fell out. "
Arrive on the ship.
You fall out of a stasis pod in the barracks and sort of flop around for a minute before getting up, wiping some of the goo off, and looking around. Well you're naked, in a barracks, with a box of clothes beside you. Someone is screaming from the bathroom near by. You feel the distinct desire to crawl back into the pod.
((Posting mostly to keep track of the game, and say that holy superstrings I am only 34 pages in out of almost five hundred in this thread and 150 pages in out of as many in the other, I can't afford to allocate this much time to reading, dangit!
(and I want to participate too, and I won't be able to until I am up to speed on everything, so that's at least a week out at the current rate..)
Great job on running this for this long, piecewise! Einsteinean Roulette's first place in the RtD Hall of Fame is well deserved indeed. ^_^))
Thank you, good sir, and welcome. Always glad to have more

(Don't worry about what kind of character is needed; there's so many that pretty much all types are covered, and who goes on a mission is random so there might be a mission consisting of like all conventional weapon users or three medics and Jim or some other combination like that. Make whatever seems most interesting to you. If you want some advice, though, probably invest a few points into Handiwork and/or be a Technician so you can make the stuff you come up with in Tinker. ^^^ Plus I don't believe we actually have a Technician-classed character. >.>)
I believe pyro might have been a technician a while ago. And that all went swimmingly.
OH GOD I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE PUN.
((Also, it still boggles my mind that PW is an English major. I'd have thought he'd be chemistry or something.))
Hmm. I could take that either as a complement that I am reasonably scientifically minded for someone with a literature back ground, or that my chosen profession is vastly at odds with my talents. Hard to say, is it a +5 to Irony's next roll or a -5.
Are ya feeling lucky, punk?
((Note to self: When back on ship, take the combat drones and replace the lasers with cameras, thus making a vastly improved scout eye. I could call them Kinos. Possibly use a cameye camera/lenses.))
Is that a reference to "kino's journey"? I really hope so.
Wait a second... suits have speakers so you can talk to civilians right?
If so i can make actual bat chip instead of bat echolocation module and i can make it for cheap
Just make chirping noises. Incessantly. Or till someone cracks you in the back of the head with a rifle.
