Why do you guys want acid spit? It seems horribly inefficient given we already have tools to subsitute for it.

5, because, hot damn, predators are badass.

[Armok]

acid spit is not badass. Plasma spit is.

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

What type plasma? Ionized air or bug plasma starship trooper style.

[Mr. Palau]

Yeah guys, did you see his description of a predator? It makes us look as combat worthy as a drone larvea. If we give it a weapon it could probably take on those pirates all by its self. It is invulnerable to small arms fire.

[Carp Slayer]

Predators are basically the poisonous, armored, short-range flight-capable heavy cavalry of the Kai. They are omnivores, element-gatherers, EXTREMELY bloodthirsty, and intelligent. Not as much as the Nurses or You, but are capable of making their own choices. It might eat other larvae from time to time, but Our Nurse is capable of preventing that. On its own strength, it can severely damage armor plating and eventually carve and eat its way through anything. It's a little large to be effective underground as a digger, but it can do so for a while before going on a killing frenzy.

It can take a lot more damage than you can. While IC modern small-caliber could eventually kill you with good aim and a lot of weaponry, it would never do much more than irritate the Predator.

Mass drop would STILL kill it very dead, but still.

See, badass.

Am I right in thinking a Predator is basically a smaller Ultralisk that can fly?

[RAM]

Bear in mind that they are... temperamental. It may be best to delay predators until we are ready to engage in sustained conflict...

Do Marine shots count as small arms?

In starcraft marines have GAUSS RIFLES, as in accelerated metal objects that go faster than you can blink. Marine shots are basically rockets.

[Aklyon]

The description sounds somewhat more fitting, then.

4.
I also like 1 but in terms of having a chance at being in the majority 4 is my best bet. No acid spit, we are of the Mind. Lets poses the Spy drone for a bit check out what the humans have on them in terms of weaponry and environmental suits.

I am so, so so very tired. Update coming tomorrow.

Y'all wish congratulations and luck to my friends Mr. and Mrs. Dalbeck, as this morning was their wedding. It was incredibly cute - their cake had squirrels up top because of the pet squirrel and some of his many lil nicknames for her, their first dance was to Led Zeppelin, and the marriage was at the little church right by where gold was discovered, with the reception being where gold was discovered in CA.

I am just now home from the afterparty.
