You think the flying suit will come back? cheers, b Quote
bensoni Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 i think i got the premium badge to work, Quote
DamZe Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Lol, something doesn't work with the forum badges, if you look at the specific thread. Quote
Sathra Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 No flying suits. You do get jump armour though, which should act somewhat similar, but unable to hover (have to end turn standing on something). Quote
bensoni Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 thats cool, so i guess the anit-grav tanks are out too? Quote
Gorlom Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 thats cool, so i guess the anit-grav tanks are out too? Yes they are replaced with jump jet tanks! (No im just beeing silly but for some reason the N64 Lylat Wars tanks popped into my head and made me giggle) Quote
anotherdevil Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 thats cool, so i guess the anit-grav tanks are out too? don't forget the game is set in the late 70s and 80s... Quote
Gorlom Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Wasnt the powerarmor and hover tanks in original X-com based on alien tech? or am i jsut recalling that bit wrong? Quote
anotherdevil Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 it was, but that was also in the near future. What we know and can do now, to what we could do in the 70s... slight difference Quote

Gorlom Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 it was, but that was also in the near future. What we know and can do now, to what we could do in the 70s... slight difference Depends on the alien tech you use to achive those effects does it not? Quote
anotherdevil Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 but you have to be able to understand that alien technology though. If you have a completely different mindset, that may never happen. It happens all the time, even today, when people once said "it works like this", but other people say, "but why didn't you examine this idea?" and then they say, "whoops, my bad" That's a simplified, more colloquial version, but basically covers it =p Quote
Gorlom Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 From the point of a researched discovering alien tech certainly. From the point of view of someone that has a goal and can impliment whatever technology he wants to make said researcher be able to reach it? Then the researcher can develop anything based on alien tech since someone else decided he could. Quote

Gorlom Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I believe your point was that fictional scientists from th 80s couldnt make things similar to what other fictional scientists could make in "the near future". I said it depends on what tech is discovered (without elaborating on that enough it seems) you disagreed and said it depended on the scientists. then i decided to say that it depends on what tech the almighty game developer decideds to give the 80s scientist to achive the goal of makeing something similar to the near future scientists. And now im going to clearify what i think is the cause of our misscommunication: You dont need to give the 80s scientists the same tech as the near future one. Give the 80s scientist tech more suitible for him to adapt. Quote
anotherdevil Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 oh ok. slight problem though, it's the aliens who are giving the tech to the scientists. I don't think they'd be inclined to simplify, or adjust their tech in any ways so human scientists could reverse engineer it =p Quote
Gorlom Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 adjust what? its the writer or game developer that decides what tech the aliens have to give since they are fictional Quote
anotherdevil Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 don't worry mate. I've forgotten what we're discussing anyway Quote
