This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;351422What are the aliens using? Can humans use their equipment?

What protects their own stuff? Can humans acquire this vaccine?

This is what it comes down to: either the aliens use a vaccine against this anti-ferrous bacteria, in which case humans can capture the vaccine; or else aliens don't use ferrous metals, in which case humans can capture their equipment and use it.

More than one guerilla movement has got itself going purely by weapons captured from enemies...
The aliens use an alien alloy (humans call it Alloy K) in their gear, vehicles, etc. that is immune to the corrosion.

Yes, humans have begun acquiring alien gear, vehicles, etc. made from this alloy, however, working and reworking it requires the use of alien plasma energy technology (cutters and such).  

I've set it up so that captured gear and vehicles and the plasma technology is relatively new in the hands of the Resistance.  It is my hope that players will be able to find creative uses for the technology and that their innovations can perhaps change the course of the war over time.  


QuoteThe aliens can be adaptable, intelligent and capable, but so are humans :) Plus, alien victory may seem inevitable, but some people will still fight on, and the victory mightn't be overnight. If everyone surrendered as soon as it was plain they couldn't win, wars on Earth would be much shorter! And some countries who ended up winning would have given up too soon.
My thoughts exactly!  :)


QuotePreview looks good, mate.

Thanks!
