Forgot about that, it's been a while.

Modify the nano-Eagles so they shoot anti-matter pellets which explode violently after penetration.

That's almost what they already do...
Actually, I've decided that that's exactly what they do. Except they don't penetrate like that. Unless you can make up a good pseudo-scientific explanation, you can't have it.

[dragnar]

Why use pseudo-science? An antimatter pellet would explode inside the gun unless encased in a carefully calibrated magnetic field. To hold off the explosion until contact with the target it would be covered in a magnetic metal casing, essentially a normal bullet, the would fail and detonate as soon as it hit something. It wouldn't penetrate very far before exploding, but with anti-matter it hardly matters.

The antimatter is generated by the EAGLE at the exact moment you pull the trigger, then ejected with extreme force.
It would blow up when it hit air, wouldn't it. Umm...

Okay, it's encased in a magnetic bullet casing just like the lead in a real life bullet is inside a copper casing, but it's immediately smashed upon contact with the target, so you can't make it be penetrating unless you make the casing stronger.

[Frelock]

Quite simply, the anti-matter is encased in a metal elctro-magnetically charged shell, which keeps it suspended in a vacuum so it doesn't explode prematurely.  This "bullet" is manufactured in such a way as to be armor-penetrating by itself.  When the bullet leaves the barrel, it loses the current which kept the magnetic field enact.  However, the casing maintains a rapidly-falling magnetic field for an amount of time set by the user (between .01-20 seconds).  Slip should be smart enough to make the necessary calculations beforehand.  This residual field holds the anti-matter in place to impact.  Once the bullet hits, one of three things happens.  If the bullet doesn't penetrate, it is crushed and the antimatter explodes on the surface.  If it does penetrate and the timer is not up, the field holds the anti-matter in place through the impact, but when it falls below a certain threshold, any acceleration (including gravity) sets off the antimatter.  If the bullet would penetrate, but the timer is up, then the anti-matter slams into the front due to the deceleration and detonates.  This last option is useful for flimsy targets to ensure the bullet doesn't just go straight through without detonation.

Sounds good.

Get in contact with the other ships, and warn them. Then, prepare the ship for battle!

[Frelock]

Oh, right, that explanation made my last action null...

Make a small shrine to CERTUS

[Typoman]

am i right in saying i've had 3 6's in a row? let me check
edit: yes i have indeed had 3 6's in a row. in that case i hope for a 4th 6
attack the corrupted mingebag as soon as i am able (with the sdw i suppose)

So much for consciousness.

Qwerty: 4+2+5

You ensure ExKirby doesn't break anything besides his own skull.
You don't think Inteuniso's decision to increase the output of the weapons systems is a good idea, but he is the chief engineer.

Sensei: 3

You attempt to brace yourself against the ship and fire at the abomination with your launcher.
You release a barrage of missiles that strike the abomination's body. The missiles make an incredible sound like a string of thermonuclear firecrackers when they strike. The abomination screeches and thrashes, in too much pain to move. The missiles have taken a sizable chunk out of the flesh where they hit.

Dragnar: 4

You install rocket boosters in your feet, in case you need to go R2-D2 on a mofo.
You Can Fly.

Inteuniso: 3

Despite protests from Science Officer Qwertyuiopas, you increase the output of the ship's weapons 200%.
For every turn in this state, the weapons will have to roll against overloading and needing to be repaired before being fired again.

Tehstefan: 3

You call up your allies and tell them to fire at will!

Two beams completely miss the abomination and detonate a bit of debris an incredible distance away.
Another two beams hit the abomination directly in the face! It doesn't matter what you are, a pair of nuclear blasts to the face hurt like hell. The concussion knocks the abomination unconscious.
The rest of the shots hit the abomination in the body. Nuclear blasts tear away massive chunks of flesh. The creature is bleeding black goo.
 

Frelock: 4

In your Void Station, you decide to honor the god that gave you the incredible gift of reality hacking with a simple little shrine made of chairs and pillows.
The God-AIs aren't much into old-style worshiping and sacrificing, but Certus appreciates the gesture anyway.

Typoman: 4

As Sensei fires his launcher, your SDW-120's eyes light up again and you fire at the abomination. It doesn't do very much compared to the nukes that everyone's been tossing at it though.
You ponder using your abilities instead.

Knight85: 2

You make yourself mildly dizzy.

Text:

Slick begins to sing again.

On a cold winter morning in a time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down and the times are tough alright
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting hard fighting on for the steel through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain we watch them as they go
In fire and pain now once again we know

So now we fly ever free, we're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning and the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above with resentment to their eyes
Running back through the mid morning light there's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land to a life beyond the stars


Slick aims the guns at the enemy and fires!

The laser nuke hits the abomination in the back of the head. BEWM, HEADSHOT. It begins to bleed profusely.
The machine guns do relatively little damage to the beast.
The nano-EAGLES blow away chunks of flesh from the beast's torso.

[Sensei]

No sure I need to, but hit again. For shits and giggles.

[dragnar]

Build better cooling systems for the overheating weapons.

[Schilcote]

Build better cooling systems for the overheating weapons.

They're not really overHEATing, more overLOADing. Heat is just a symptom of the problem.
You might as well not overcharge them like that, the laser nuke seems to be plenty effective anyway, and everything else can't really compete even with the overcharge.

[ExKirby]

MENTAL ATTACK. DESTROY ALL ENEMIES. INVENT FATE POINT TO DO THIS.

[qwertyuiopas]

Obviously, prevent the guns from overloading without damaging them in the process.

[tehstefan]

attack attack attack!
