You sure dye grenades don't work above water? But yes, one of the "neat" things TFTD did was make some of the more powerful heavy weapons from EU only work underwater, ie. not on terror or base defence missions.

Though Neonivek might very well be referencing to the fact that the weapons that do work both above and underwater do so identically. I have no idea how it would affect sonic or gauss weaponry, but I doubt you could throw a grenade all that good while sumberged.

I imagine weapons work work the same, or be even deadlier ie. real-life harpoon gun.
But I do wonder about the grenades...

By the way, our dear alien friends ARE in fact in "Flying Subs".

Which means if they choose to emerge, or fly above land? Yeah, you're not intercepting that.

There is also the issue that, in basic diving gear, they can't finangle the diving weights so that aquanauts can, y'know, swim. As opposed to flying, which you would need a suit for.

You try swimming with those huge guns they're all toting, without propellers on your suit.

Remember, this is essentially what your characters look like:

On top of that, being at the bottom of the ocean is different than swimming on top. You have a lot of pressure weighing down on you.

Wow, those suits are designed to create oxygen out of the sea water!

Wow, those suits are designed to create oxygen out of the sea water!

"The primary source of oxygen will be water electrolysis, followed by O2 in a pressurized storage tank," said Jay Perry, an aerospace engineer at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center working on the Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) project. ECLSS engineers at Marshall, at the Johnson Space Center and elsewhere are developing, improving and testing primary life support systems for the ISS.

Hadn't though of it like that before. Also, that's really cool.

Okay. Just found a great free GIF recorder, called GifCam. After I get through the update backlog, I'm going to try to record some action scenes with it for the LP. Hopefully it helps with the combat imagery.

All right, I'll be able to tell what's going on!

It'll certainly help me when I'm going through the images after a fight.
"Hmm...who got that kill? Wait...when did the entire map explode?"
And it means I can nab death shots if I leave it on during the alien turns.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Short update, and no GIFs yet, but they'll come, don't worry.

BEGIN BATTLESCAPE TACTICAL RECORDING 3-3





Manta: Grenade had minimal effect. Lining up a shot.





Manta: Shot connected, but it's still up. Bruce, can you see it from where you are?
Thomson: I can. Hang on...







Thomson: Yep, got one.



Thomson: Hey, I got an idea. Shove the broom out into the fire zone. Maybe he'll get lucky again.
Broomy: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?



Broomy: For the Emperor!
Doktorov: ...vat?





Xantalos: That's what I'm talkin' about!
MaxClone2: Hell yeah! Way to go, broom buddy!
Broomy: If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Blurgh. Wanna know why I haven't been updating? I'm kinda sick right now, as in look at the screen for too long and my eyes hurt sick. It is one hell of a cold. I'll put an update out as soon as I recover, but I just can't sit down at a computer long enough right now.

[Furtuka]

Tis fine, take as long as you need until you recover

[Mephansteras]

Hope you get better soon, man.

[Fr0stByt3]

Get well soon!

Also, character.

Name: Jixiu
Weapon: Whatever he absent-mindedly grabs on the way to the sub.((AKA random))
Personality: Tends to ramble on and on, especially when they encounter/kill a new alien type or get a new alien weapon. Not exactly annoying, but he does tend to go on and on about all the little details about how something works. Very absent minded, and will kill aliens without even reacting sometimes.
