Your Terran weapon of choice?

[AgentFalcon]

Let's suppose you were out on the Battlefield (as a Terran Infantry, not Marine) and had a choice of Terran weapons. What would your armament be?



Blaster Pistol – A new sidearm for Dominion Forces and are favorites for Commandos, Medics and Ghosts due to their compact size. The weapon uses an energy clip rather than canisters/bullets and due to the uranium power charge, you'll never have to run out of energy to fire it. Its secondary mode consists of a charge up blast that is very noisy but the shot is a great deal more powerful than the singular "pulse" shot.



C-14 "Impaler" Gauss Rifle - A powerful rifle, standard among Marines that deals a tremendous amount of power. The rifle shoots 8mm spikes at hypersonic speeds at an insane rate of fire. Built into the weapon is a cooling system that limits the rifle to short bursts of about 100 spikes per second. Otherwise, the rifle itself won't last long in the field without the limit system. While this rifle is very large and can be hard to handle while not in a Powered Combat Suit, it can be modified to fit standard Infantry Armor. The newer version is equipped with a secondary fire mode that launches modified RG-49 rifle grenades that can travel 100 meters and has a blast radius of 5m.



C-10 Canister Rifle - The ghost's weapon of choice, these long rifles carry powerful explosive canisters that can hit targets miles away if linked with a Ghost's cerebral systems and range goggles. The Rifle itself shoots relatively slow but the canister's explosive nature makes up for it. Its popular secondary mode launches a highly charged E.P.M missile that “Lockdowns” an electrical system on a unit or vehicle.



C-20A Canister “Hybrid” Rifle – This new and highly modified Canister Rifle has multiple purposes for the newer Dominion Ghosts in the Terran SpecOps divisions. Supporting both canister rounds and Gauss rounds, this rifle is a mix between the C-10 and C-14 rifles that is far more smaller and compact that its original designs. Although not quite as powerful as the original weapons as well as holding no where near as much ammo, it makes up for it through its versatility and adaptability. Supporting adaptors for lockdown missiles, rifle grenades, scope and flame port, each ghost can put add-ons of his/her choice.



Perdition Flame Thrower – These large, arm mounted flame throwers are usually found on Demo Troopers and Firebats with reinforced Powered Combat Suits, but these newer models have been scaled down to a more mobile size so that standard Infantry units can use them at the cost of fuel capacity and firepower. Don’t let the scales fool you though, these flame throwers are still the best weapon against single and bunched zerg units. Using super heated plasma streams with energy coolants for control, the direct flame can reach a bright bluish color at 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.



The combat situation is total chaos. Terran, Zerg and Protoss all fighting in one tight “bunker” like area for control. In this situation as a standard issue Terran Infantryman, what weapon would you choose and why?

Note: The weapons and descriptions were taken from both Starcraft, Broodwar and Starcraft: Ghost.

I'd take either the perdition flame thrower or the C-20A canister rifle.

[Dark_Viper]

id have to take the C-10 Canister Rifle with a 20x scope on it for the extra special sniper shots... hehehe

but since its in a tight bunker area id have to go with the C-20A Canister “Hybrid” Rifle...

Dark_Viper

[assassin_666]

id have to go with secret option seige tank

[AgentFalcon]

In my opinion, due to the situation I'd go with the C-20A rifle because of multi-purpose. Use the canisters to take out protoss and gauss rounds to blow wholes through zerg shell, can't go wrong with that! ;)

However, if the battlefield was more open I'd go with the trusty C-14 Impaler. Nothing greater than shooting gaping holes with bullets that travel mach 7 :p

[peace_machine]

The only time I would plan on using an infantry weapon would be if I had to bail out of my goliath. If so I could be at close range to enemies so I would use the Perdition Flame Thrower. However pulling this chunck of metal out of a goliath might be a bit of work so a C-14 "Impaler" Gauss Rifle suits me just fine.

Then there is the temptation of dule Blaster Pistols...

[XTERMIN8OR1]

C-20A Canister “Hybrid” RifleDefinitely this one.

[Frattimonde]

C-14 Gauss Rifle, definatly my choice.

[MinD_CakE]

Perdition Flame Thrower , definitely!

The Reason?




Everything Must......

[Windwalker]

IF you do that i take the ghost canistar rifle and kick your ass, C-20A Canister is my favorite

[Maegtelluma]

Gauss, without the confederate mod chip that disallows full automatic :p

[Dark_Viper]

Gauss, without the confederate mod chip that disallows full automatic :pOMG.. you know how fast ull burn that out.. it would last only a few minutes.. pluss it would jam really frequently.

Dark_Viper

[AgentFalcon]

Yea :)

A gauss rifle that is shooting spikes at mach 7 at about 100 rounds per second would blow itself apart in full auto in like a minute. Literally the mental would melt off in your hands but atleast you can blow gaping holes through every known object in the universe :p

hehe burning imitation of zergling and zealots with an additional BURN

[Ole-The-Murder]

I think I go with a Blaster Pistol, 'cuz it's easy, fast and low to conceal. And in a thight bunker, you people must consider HOW THE HELL YOU WILL GET SPACE ENOUGH FOR ALL THESE WEAPONS!? I'll be more likely off to survive.

[PhoenixNo13]

C-10 Canister Rifle is my choice.

[Nahotnoj]

either the blaster pistol or the c-20 hybrid.

[singo]

in a compact bunker, blaster pistol

any where else, Gauss rifle. ill rip you all to shreds!!!


in the words of an unknown terran marine,"ROCK AND ROLL"

[stealthey]

Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!! Blaster pistol!!!

OMG.. you know how fast ull burn that out.. it would last only a few minutes.. pluss it would jam really frequently.

Dark_ViperDoes it look like I care? If i was a marine, i'd be a rich marine, with lots of money. And therefore, a helluva lot of ammo. And a spare.

I'd mod it so it wouldn't jam :p

Plus,...if it happened, within the minute before it melted, there wouldn't really be anything left standing. :D

[singo]

with a decent liquid nitrogen cooling system, it would not melt, it might explode when the firing mechanisim is exposed to extreme stress tho.

and marines are not rich, they are just soldiers, name a rich infantryman

[Ole-The-Murder]

Jim Raynor? :D

[singo]

hes a marshall, planetary governor type thing. not a marine

[Ole-The-Murder]

On the field, that doesn't matter - He's still an marine at that, by nature, and uh, even if he don't want it, well - He's the richest marine I know - In some bizzare sort of way. Well, atleast he's the head marine, so he got most jack shit. I think we let that matter rest, and consider Jim as the answer to z'hat one - atleast as in richest on non-material worth, heheh. Not like he's a millionare, though.

[ZeroDarkStar]

Perdition Flame Thrower, if the safety of my squadamates is not a priority. :D

[Modred]

I would myself use the C-10 Canister Rifle in a normal situation. However, the close environment of a bunker battle would make it difficult to use. Although I would probably still pick it.

Every time I hear "Blaster Pistol" I think that horridly weak weapon you start with on Quake2.

[singo]

i think starwars when i hear it :P

[Maegtelluma]

Halo. The cheapest, and therefore best and most used weapon in that game. Except maybe the Banshee on the PC version/demo.

[Battlecruiser]

C-20A Canister “Hybrid” Rifle would work fine for me.

[Ole-The-Murder]

Perdition Flame Thrower, if the safety of my squadamates is not a priority. :D
In a tight-spaced bunker? I doubt it so :p

[Frattimonde]

How come that the terrans don´t use Gunblades?

Would be pretty neat to have Gauss Rifle with
a large sword edge.

Especially If combined with Vibro
tech, allowing the blade to discharge electrical impulses upon
impact.

Or to have Blaster Pistols equipped
with a small and deadly vibro blade.

How would that be?

[GiaDragoness]

If all hell is truely breaking loose, you probably wont have time to do stuff like, "aim". lol. Well, i mean you can point the gun and shoot, but the canister rifle is a nice sniper weapon, and you dont have time to pick off guys stealthily, your IN the zone. The pistol is out, because you dont need the gun to be nice and small so you can carry it more easily, you need something that can put on the pain and lots of it. The flamethrower is tempting, but do you guys have ANY idea how hot 10k degrees is? It would roast you, your opponents, likly because it blew up after melting the casing in about half a second. Therefore, I'm going to have to go with the marine's standard weapon on this one. The c 10 cansister rifle would be nice to hand to a few of your guys that you keep in back to snipe off enemy feild leaders and such, but the rest should greet anything they see with a hail of lead coming out of those gauss rifles.

How would that be?
Because the universe of starcraft takes place in the universe of starcraft rather than the impractical world of Final Fantasy.

Having a gun on a sword is not only a stupid idea (unless it is like a bayonette) but would defeat the purpose of even having gun in a sword. Those crazy anime freaks over in japan might think it's a good idea but to me, it just sounds dumb.

[Frattimonde]

Bajonette styled was that I was reffering.

But bajonettes should use the vibro-tech for
effcient kills.

If struck into a enemy It would kill It pretty
Instantly.

Perhaps not as deadly as Psi Blades,
but they would be deadly still.

[Ole-The-Murder]

STILL...I think I go with good ol' blaster pistol (modified for more damage, of course), OR a gauss rifle....

[Darkslayer633]

Perdition Flame Thrower is there a really a choice burn baby burn

[Ole-The-Murder]

Too big for the space of a tight bunker filled to the branch with all the WarBoarders, and whould most likely hurt ourselves, too, except if you managed to get it facing TOTALLY outwards...still..there is a space problem..

[Modred]

As for the flamethrower from SC, I am unsure, but real flamethrowers as used in World War II could be quite accurate, at least, accurate as far as fire goes. Capable of spraying a stream of fire upwards of 20 yards, it would be a very effective weapon in close range. The one problem would be to ensure proper destruction of enemies before they could run toward your forces and set them on fire as well. Also, in a bunker situation, flamethrowers are useful for clearing out bunkers. A quick spout of fire into the bunker either 1)incinerates everyone or 2)uses all the oxygen and suffocates everyone, both instantly (or as close to instantly as burning to death or suffocation can be).

So don't say a flamethrower would be bad for this situation. It would just have limited uses, much like the C-10.

[GiaDragoness]

Um, i still think you guys are missing the point. Ten thousand degrees farenhiet would flash-melt any substance within about a hundred feet or so. IT would be more of a kamakazee weapon.





:smash: Smashy Smashy! :smash:

[Ole-The-Murder]

Eggzactly., That's what's my point's like.

[Modred]

Ten thousand degrees farenhiet would flash-melt any substance within about a hundred feet or so.

Ok, good point...

[Ole-The-Murder]

However, you could try to have it facing out them opening holes in front of the bunker...and shut the damn door so none of them goddamned zerlings gets in :D

[GiaDragoness]

I think I go with a Blaster Pistol, 'cuz it's easy, fast and low to conceal. And in a thight bunker, you people must consider HOW THE HELL YOU WILL GET SPACE ENOUGH FOR ALL THESE WEAPONS!? I'll be more likely off to survive.

This is going to be on a battleground, not in an actuall terran bunker, he said bunker-like battlebround here folks, not a true bunker. lol. If that was the case, the battle would be over REAL FAST.




:smash: Smashy Smashy! :smash:

[singo]

yes but there still would not be all that much room to maneuver the sniper weapons many people seem to be favouring.

and 10k degrees kinda takes the piss for a flamethrower

[Ole-The-Murder]

Ok then, if THAT's the scenario I go for a gauss rifle ;)
BURST FIRE BURST FIRE BURST FIRE BURST FIRE
Y'all know the drill! :D

[DemonicArchon]

C-14 "Impaler" Gauss Rifle - A powerful rifle, standard among Marines that deals a tremendous amount of power. The rifle shoots 8mm spikes at hypersonic speeds at an insane rate of fire. Built into the weapon is a cooling system that limits the rifle to short bursts of about 100 spikes per second. Otherwise, the rifle itself won't last long in the field without the limit system. While this rifle is very large and can be hard to handle while not in a Powered Combat Suit, it can be modified to fit standard Infantry Armor.

Eithier of these. Flamethrower becuz ur gonna b close to enemys n plus i love fire. And the implaer because ur in a "bunker" area, i dont think there will be much time to use the c-10 plus it wud b hard to aim in scope with all the chaos goin on. With the implaer, you could just rip through everyone.

F.Y.I- The Blaster Rifle sounds HELLA LIKE the halo 2 plasma pistol(just lettin ya kno)

[Snot]

Terran Siege Tank with the shock cannon... BOOM BABY! :o

[SuiCidAl-KiSmEt]

In StarCraft Ghost, arn't flamethrowers eqquiped with Napalm missiles?

[Shortyland05]

Hey, the firebat sucks in SC. they get blown up before they even reach the enemy! So thats why I trust the good ole Gauss Rife!

[Aquarian]

TWO YEAR THREAD REVIVAL!OMG!

Oh well,I might as well follow before the mods clean it up...

The C-10,don't know why,I like rifles :)

[Sgt.SlagRock]

Definetly *edit* i meant gauss rifle *end edit*, I don't really favor the ider of being flash-melted. Wait... What if the Flamethrowers had little devices that allowed the gradual change in tempurature, not just 10k farenheit?

-Sarge

[Snot]

Too much would have to been done both mechanicaly and the person trained would need to know how to manage the heat flow. But it all does the samething right... lights up the enemy and does butt loads of shit to them.

I would go with the C-10, but the Gauss Rifle has more kick per round, the Canister is slow rate and packs a moderate punch.

[Zenox]

C-10 Canister Rifle - The ghost's weapon of choice, these long rifles carry powerful explosive canisters that can hit targets miles away if linked with a Ghost's cerebral systems and range goggles.

A missile launcher like the Valkyrie has. kekekekekekekkekekekeke.

[BrotherGreen]

Er...

Tight area?

Fill it with Fire.

[Ktan]

I'll let this fly, the necro was actually relevant. Please try to avoid it in future though.

[U-238]

Twin pistols. Ofc I'd rather have ballistic projectile type instead of some shitty plasma thing but either way.

[SolidSamurai]

How bout a guass rifle with a chainsaw bayonet (if you played gears of war even once, it aint anime either and besides I hate anime), along with long-range chaingun autocannons, with the addition of explodable armor piercing rounds. Feats in engineering would allow the things to explode after they pierce armor. I'd also include a self destruct mechanism, hellfire missiles, a goliath that can duck and compact itself, as well as a powerful anti-grav forcefield, powered by a dozen Jedi slaves, preventing annoying zerglings from sneaking in and shredding my goliath baby. Generally, other feats in engineering would allow for me to set the forcefield on fire and charge through a swarm of annoying zerglings, the autocannons would focus on hydralisks. The nuclear reactor, powered by the incomprehensible might of the engineering feat in essence (doesn't make sense, I know, shut up), would emit EMP pulses every so often, disabling protoss shields. In a state of emergency, the goliath could literally sprout a bunker over itself. Nanobots would repair the goliath every so often as well. The Goliath can even borrow and lace itself with concrete, preventing a fate that was otherwise met by nuclear anihilation. Advanced computer systems would allow the goliath to target overlords and shuttles out of atmosphere, allowing to fire its stored and docile nuclear cluster missiles (each missile opens up into several warheads, just a few hundred meters prior to impact, compensating for protoss missile defense systems... the unleashing of the warhead cluster also emits an EMP pulse)... thusly, overlords will be dead before they reach atmosphere. Gausse rifle turrets will stand at the legs of the goliath... In case the goliath powers down, I have a G-rifle with a chainsaw bayonet, along with the addition of dual plasma pistols. I'm a bad ass I know. I could single handedly take on a swarm of zerg... though a scourge bombardment on the ground might prove difficult. Guardians also. :P

[dfenton1972]

C-14 Gauss, gimee somthin to shoot.

[ArthurHudson1986]

I would have to choose the:
C-20A Canister “Hybrid” Rifle – This new and highly modified Canister Rifle has multiple purposes for the newer Dominion Ghosts in the Terran SpecOps divisions. Supporting both canister rounds and Gauss rounds, this rifle is a mix between the C-10 and C-14 rifles that is far more smaller and compact that its original designs. Although not quite as powerful as the original weapons as well as holding no where near as much ammo, it makes up for it through its versatility and adaptability. Supporting adaptors for lockdown missiles, rifle grenades, scope and flame port, each ghost can put add-ons of his/her choice.
in this sernario.

I would use this and the flame port addon.:D

This because it will give long range and sort range wepon efficancy and will have a good blast range. this means I can blow up large groups long distancies away from and toast anything that gets too close to me for comfort. :D :D

[IrishDutchman]

Hand-Held arclite shock cannon for me.

[L2_1989]

C-20A, customizable to your needs.

Who the hell resurrected this?

[Jaccuri]

I would soooo take the C-14 Guass rifle. There's no way in close combat that i'll have the slow shooting canister rifle when anything can jump out of anywhere. If anything jumps out of anywhere, they'd get sprayed.

[OMFGBBQHAXXORS]

:) lol, how bout giving the rines Psi-Blades
Im so going to do that now lawl

[Ktan]

Yes, but that's not a TERRAN weapon, is it ;)

[Hasharin]

C-20A Canister “Hybrid” Rifle. If I was a Terran, I'd be a Ghost.

[jxl312]

flamethrower, and gauss rifle
burn, shoot, burn, shootburn, shoot

[Razorstorm]

Dunno about u noobs but i take 2 blaster pistols and a vulture. Kick ass fast and smooth. And i can keep up the shooting continously forever. fire with one, wait for cool down while firing with other. Try to beat that with a flamethrower or a gauss rifle. ill own your ass.

[Protoss_Honor]

I hope it is still okay to post in this thread K'tan, if not, then I am sorry.

Blaster Pistol – A new sidearm for Dominion Forces and are favorites for Commandos, Medics and Ghosts due to their compact size. The weapon uses an energy clip rather than canisters/bullets and due to the uranium power charge, you'll never have to run out of energy to fire it. Its secondary mode consists of a charge up blast that is very noisy but the shot is a great deal more powerful than the singular "pulse" shot.This sounds interesting.
C-14 "Impaler" Gauss Rifle - A powerful rifle, standard among Marines that deals a tremendous amount of power. The rifle shoots 8mm spikes at hypersonic speeds at an insane rate of fire. Built into the weapon is a cooling system that limits the rifle to short bursts of about 100 spikes per second. Otherwise, the rifle itself won't last long in the field without the limit system.

The newer version is equipped with a secondary fire mode that launches modified RG-49 rifle grenades that can travel 100 meters and has a blast radius of 5m.I like the C-14, it is awesome. And it would be useful at all stages of the battle, when the enemy is far away, and when they close in.
C-20A Canister “Hybrid” Rifle – This new and highly modified Canister Rifle has multiple purposes for the newer Dominion Ghosts in the Terran SpecOps divisions. Supporting both canister rounds and Gauss rounds, this rifle is a mix between the C-10 and C-14 rifles that is far more smaller and compact that its original designs.

Supporting adaptors for lockdown missiles, rifle grenades, scope and flame port, each ghost can put add-ons of his/her choice.This weapon sounds awesome. The only problems I have with this, is the bolded part. Okay, so it is versatile and adaptable, but once in battle, I am going to guess that switching from the Rifle grenade to the flame port is not a simple task? Meaning that you are stuck with that adaptor at least unitl the battle ends? What if I want to use the greandes at the beginning of the battle, when the Enemy is relatively far away, but as the battle progresses and they get closer, I want to switch to flame port?
Perdition Flame Thrower – These large, arm mounted flame throwers are usually found on Demo Troopers and Firebats with reinforced Powered Combat Suits, but these newer models have been scaled down to a more mobile size so that standard Infantry units can use them at the cost of fuel capacity and firepower. Don’t let the scales fool you though, these flame throwers are still the best weapon against single and bunched zerg units. Using super heated plasma streams with energy coolants for control, the direct flame can reach a bright bluish color at 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.Along with being useful on the Zerg, I heard somewhere (long time ago, not sure if it is actually true) that the Flame thrower is also useful against Protoss shields. If that is true, then it would be the most useful weapon for when the battle turns into a mostly melee fight.



I have reached a decision, I would go with either the C-14 or the Flame thrower, with a Blaster pistol as back up for both choices. Why? Because the C-10 will only be useful when the nemy is far away, but when they get close, it is really slow, and you would most likely be killed before killing the guy attacking you. The C-20A seems like a good weapon at first glance, but with less power and ammo, and being able to use one adaptor the whole battle, I think it would be better to just go with the regular C-14 or Flame thrower. Now, since this is going to be a large group of Terrans, a large group of Zerg, and a large group of Protoss, some of my buddies would be long range, and some short range. If I used the flame thower, my buddies with C-10's, C-14's, C-20A's, and Blaster Pistols would be protecting me at long range, and then I would be protecting them at Short Range. The Opposite applies for the C-14, I have long range (and short range yes, but that is not my point), they have short. And since I have the Blaster Pistol as Backup, I could be somewhat long ranged even with the Flame thrower. Do you understand what I am saying? It really only depends on the type of weapon you prefer. There is no best weapon, and there is no fear of being at a disadvantage by having only short range or long range weapons. Because whatever short comings your weapon has, your buddies strengths will protect your weaknessess, and vice versa. Remember, while this is a StarCraft based thing, and in SC, the units attack the nearest enemy unit/object, and only protect themselves not their buddies, in a real battle, everyone has everyone elses back. So if everyone who posted here was in a real battle together, we would all be covering each other, not just be on our own, out numbered 30000 to 1. We would be outnumbered 30000 to like 20, maybe 30. :D Nice thought, eh? Then again, we are the good guys, so we would be victorious.:tup:



How bout a guass rifle with a chainsaw bayonet (if you played gears of war even once, it aint anime either and besides I hate anime), along with long-range chaingun autocannons, with the addition of explodable armor piercing rounds. Feats in engineering would allow the things to explode after they pierce armor. I'd also include a self destruct mechanism, hellfire missiles, a goliath that can duck and compact itself, as well as a powerful anti-grav forcefield, powered by a dozen Jedi slaves, preventing annoying zerglings from sneaking in and shredding my goliath baby. Generally, other feats in engineering would allow for me to set the forcefield on fire and charge through a swarm of annoying zerglings, the autocannons would focus on hydralisks. The nuclear reactor, powered by the incomprehensible might of the engineering feat in essence (doesn't make sense, I know, shut up), would emit EMP pulses every so often, disabling protoss shields. In a state of emergency, the goliath could literally sprout a bunker over itself. Nanobots would repair the goliath every so often as well. The Goliath can even borrow and lace itself with concrete, preventing a fate that was otherwise met by nuclear anihilation. Advanced computer systems would allow the goliath to target overlords and shuttles out of atmosphere, allowing to fire its stored and docile nuclear cluster missiles (each missile opens up into several warheads, just a few hundred meters prior to impact, compensating for protoss missile defense systems... the unleashing of the warhead cluster also emits an EMP pulse)... thusly, overlords will be dead before they reach atmosphere. Gausse rifle turrets will stand at the legs of the goliath... In case the goliath powers down, I have a G-rifle with a chainsaw bayonet, along with the addition of dual plasma pistols. I'm a bad ass I know. I could single handedly take on a swarm of zerg... though a scourge bombardment on the ground might prove difficult. Guardians also. :PDude, with this, could take out several of the smaller broods, or all of Daggoths brood. I am serious. Ignore the majority of Zerg forces, and head straight to Daggoth, with the optional Dark Templar Energy implants, and the Warp Blade, kill Daggoth, then destroy all the hives. Occording to the games, that should effectively neutralize the Daggoth's forces. Once they are neutralized, destroy them, obliterate them, annihilate them, eradicate them, exterminate them, and generally wipe them out! :D :P

[SolidSamurai]

Oh yeah, and the autocannons would all have that technological shit such as advanced wind-correction, e-mag (whatever the hell that is... from some webcomic that made fun of stuff), double-bolt-action (now that doesn't make sense, but it sounds cool!), explodable rounds, neo-steel tip armor piercing (as opposed to plain steel tip that we have nowadays, which is nigh-useless in the future I imagine), depleted uranium, etc.

Missiles would all have the most advanced electronic countermeasures, and counter counter measures, and other crap. They'd even deflect radar and counter and override electronic systems that attempt to detect them. All of this would happen before an individual missile hits. >_>
The missiles are also high speed and neo-steel tipped so that they have maximum penetration.

So yah. Of course I'd have dark templar implants, and a warp blade 'lance' that shoots out of the goliath in the moment of need; along with a spare warpblade, and warp knife, in my pocket. I'd get a reactor core that exists primarily for activating a defense matrix to begin with, until such a point when it happens to overheat and melt. Melting of said reactor would be do nothing to the rest of my goliath. The goliath would also weigh tons upon tons, so knocking it over is an impossibility... the shield also allows it to stick to the ground in some sort of quantum friction suction, unless the goliath lifts it's feet. In other words, even an ultralisk can't knock the thing over, unless both the defense matrix and the shield I mentioned in the previous post are down. The goliath would have fuel jets to carry itself away from the ground for up to several hours if it encounters fissures, or the ground generally creates a hole. The Jets can take the goliath at very rapid speeds, above that of the speed of sound... the goliath can also convert to a missile frigate in space. The goliath is also encased in neosteel spikes, to impale anything that comes close (The shield narrows around each sharp tip, contact with the tip pulls the shield back a meter around the spike (or however much length depending on the size of the creature), to create a bubble that encases the impaled victim; the victim is then slid down the spike, closer to the goliath whilst still being encased. The victim is impaled, due to the fact that the shield tends to retract and encase at roughly the speed of light.) The spikes are also vibro (electrically shock the victim).

The goliath recycles and creates its own missiles and ammunition from metal molecules it collects in 'pores' every micro second. The metal is then quickly 'burnt' into neo-steel, led, and titanium for ammunition and missiles.

Oh yah, and if the goliath powers down, then feats in engineering can allow me to divert power to a back up battery that powers the main nuclear reactor to begin working again. Chemical phenomenon will constantly repair electrical wiring. In case the battery also powers down, THEN I'll whip out my shit in my pockets. Additionally, the goliath also has state of the art EMP deflectors, that are all state of the art and shit. The thing can also shoot hunks of metal and defender missiles (for long range defense), to take care of incoming missiles and lockdowns (short range). Normally, lockdowns would penetrate EMP deflectors.

Inside, I'd also sport one of those stupid psi-screens, so that enemy ghosts can't anticipate my next maneuver. Electronic subsystems will also ping them with a very loud 'PING!' noise that dazzles them and sometimes renders them brain dead if they even think about reading my mind. They'll also be pinged and marked on the map, so that I know their exact location at all times. Inside the goliath shell, there's a capsule shell where I sit. The capsule would be laced with electrical neo-steel barbwire.

The goliath can also intercept sattellites (protoss included) that aren't the most heavily guarded with state of the art government countermeasures, so that I can draw up a map and location of most enemies in seconds.
The Goliath also has firebat underlays and heat and cold compensation for temperature and weather resistance.

Someone oughta make a fan art of this. Someone talented that is. :P

[SolidSamurai]

Double post. Woopsy daisy.

[Protoss_Honor]

Okay SS, dude, you do know that in your original post alone, that thing was absurdly and impossibly powerful, right? And you new post goes beyond that, beyond even ludicrous, and ridiculous, and outrageous, not to mention just plain impractical and impossible. Dude, your "Goliath" doesnt just break every law of physics, it destroys, shatters, crushes, overwhelms, defeats, routs, smashes, fractures, ruptures, shatters, splits, cracks, severs, obliterates, eradicates, annihilates, eliminates, demolishes, wipes out, and kills them. Each and every one. (Thesaurus FTW!) Seriously. First of all, to have all that equipment, it would be at least several hundred times bigger than a normal Goliath, not including the power sources. Its power sources would have to be huge, and use an impossible amount of energy just to turn it on. Unless you have somehow managed to discover a way to compress a very very very large amount of stuff into a very very very small (by comparison) space. Not to mention creating an gargantuan amount of energy with a very small energy source.


The above impossibilities aside, that is an awesome creation, and you are a very imaginative and inventive person SS. The above impossibilities aside or not, it does get quite stupid in places. So although very inventive, it gets too inventive. Expecially your second post. Unless you do something like harness it directly into the power of a couple hundred suns, it ain't going nowhere. And since that would be a shit load of power, you are much, much, much more likely to obliterate yourself when you first activate it, then you would be to successfully activate it and use all its features. And your chances of not blowing up or melting down or whatever, are somewhere in the area of 43254614242431136 to 1.



And yes, I use the word impossible, or forms of impossible multiple times. That is because I cannot seem to find a word stronger and more forceful than impossible.

Soldier Samurai: Your goliath is missing the following

1. The ability to fly, some jump jets aught to fix that right up

2. The ability to withstand a black hole... good luck with that one.

3. ....

4. PROFIT!

[TitanWing]

I'm gonna go with the C-14, as a fan of autos.


...and a bad sniper who hates fire

1. I already added that, buddy.

2. Alright then, man. You wish to face my wrath (do you?!)! Well, then again, the protoss or terran or whatever might throw a particle accelerator in their in case they're losing the battle, and next thing you know, you have a huge fuggin' black hole mauling and vacuuming everything. So uh... first off, my jedi would all die trying to hold it off with the power of the force, and while the black hole 'concentrates' on sucking them in I'd jump away, buying me time to ressurect my create some more Jedi with the power of the Necron-whatever-guys-from-warhammer-40k... if that doesn't work out, let's just say I had rapid cloning facilities, each containing a few DNA samples of each individual Jedi, that would rapidly replicate a full Jedi and provide a replica of a precise brain scan of each Jedi before they were turned to noodles in the black hole (effectively this would bring them all back to life, with the knowledge of being my slave)... this would all happen in roughly a microsecond. The ressurected Jedi would then leave behind another few DNA samples in the chamber they were grown from, allowing me to sacrifice and ressurect my Jedi slaves whenever the hell I want. But of course, I'm drifting away from the actual matter at hand. Buying some time from jumping away from the black hole, I'll then rev my jets to maximum thrust with an additional burnout, effectively accelerating me beyond the speed of light when added with a warp drive. Effectively, I'll jump 'through' the black hole with the aid of a quantum time/space manipulator/psi-emitter/psi-disruptor hybrid. The sheer mass created by my goliath will counter that of the black hole, and shut it down completely. If done with the aid of mixing several hundred songs of good ol' classic rock (mostly Led Zeppelin) played backwards, I'll be able to travel through time, and correct my mistakes, like the Prince of Persia (I could also generate another black hole for this exact purpose). I can even send the black hole against my enemies up to a range of several million miles away, if I happen to make that decision a few seconds after I jumped through. I'd even be able to generate a gravity field that sucks enemies towards the goliath, imploding them upon impact.

So, you see? A black hole would benefit my cause.

3. ....

4. Time Travel, man. People would pay just to see it.

Oh, and Protoss_Honor? Didn't I say the goliath had like 5 nuclear reactors? If I didn't, then I'm saying it now. If 5 aint enough for you, make it 50. If that aint enough, then make it 50,000,000 microscopic, nano-bot nuclear reactors (each one'd operate exactly like a single nuclear reactor). And the Goliath would probably be at least 3 times the size of a plain one.

It can also grow arms and go gundam on your asses (it'd have a hand-gun that'd have chain-gun-style rapid fire arclite cannons, yamato gun, and ionized plasma beam). And turn into a truck, like Optimus Primo.

[DarkMirror]

Dude, donmt use nuklear reactors. use cold fussion.

[spurious]

Flamethrower FTW.

The place is packed, range doesn't mean much and your biggest threat is the sheer number of enemies. As the weak start to dwindle, I'd pick up a bigger weapon from a dead soldier. I mean, if I survive.

[SolidSamurai]

Dude, donmt use nuklear reactors. use cold fussion.

Awww... well if you say so. :rolleyes:

[TheNewMoo]

Flame Throwa!!!!!!!!!

[Zergratul]

the FlameThrower
Need a light?

[Razorstorm]

Just a question? why are there no terran melee weaps. It sucks. i wanted to do a Deathstalker campaign but mostof the fighting is done with swords. And its not big enough to consider a mod.

[matefkr]

My choice is.. power overwhelming!

[SolidSamurai]

My choice is.. power overwhelming!

Oh yah, man, well I'd just cast a purple spell and combine it with the sheer raw quantum force of my reality fibre manipulator things and brutish might of my uber-goliath. When working in cohesion, it'd totally scramble and unscramble and rescramble reality to shoot past your cheat.

You'd die to me, man.

[DoctorZettabyte]

C-10 canister rifle. Simple, refined, deadly. I'd also prefer Quake II's Railgun. Man, you can't beat those good ol' supersonic depleted uranium slugs, can you?

[battlecruiser12]

Oh man, for me its the Battlecruiser Yamoto Cannon. "Make it happen.":cool:
But if you mean hand weapons i'd go for the C-10 Canister Rifle.

[generaljimmy]

gauss rifle!!!! just mow the bitches down.:_penguin:
