I'm gonna take skirting the key question as not having the foggiest notion of an answer. :shock:

Re: Kinda looks * Scavy * : Vehicles & structs from RL...

The van cow actually used to be in Helsinki only a few kilometres from my home, it's made by a finnish artist. She has cows of a slightly wilder variety, which are kept very loosely, wandering the forest, finding food themselves and only returning for the night. How cool is that. It's one thing to ...

Re: Demolition Turret(s)

I changed my mind and I have thought that the ball can be made of another material that is stronger than steel.
To that I would pose the same question I asked of Hesterax:
Paint me a thought experiment scenario where it could serve a function that makes serious sense....

Re: Demolition Turret(s)

Has anyone thought of having the scavengers use a heavily weakened version of the demolition turrets :) Yup. Couldn't see a viable function that isn't already served well in USM by another unit. But I could have a blind spot. Paint me a thought experiment scenario where it could serve a function th...

Re: Demolition Turret(s)

. Personally I still prefer the pyrotechnics of blowing chit up rather than the clang and thud of the wreaking ball If you love the splash and flash (and who doesn't?), then you are going to positively hate HomeOwnersAssociation 2100 where the primary weapons are fines, liens, and lawsuits. While th...

Re: Demolition Turret(s)

. I know what it is (have even operated in RL). What I don't get is why it should be more than a Mod anyone is free to make. In other words, why should it be incorporated in the core game ? I can appreciate the comedic possibilities of demolition turret armies clashing on the field of battle like an...

Re: Demolition Turret(s)

Personally I still prefer the pyrotechnics of blowing chit up rather than the clang and thud of the wreaking ball. In this inst...

Re: Kinda looks * Scavy * : Vehicles & structs from RL...

. From a flip suggestion to put graffiti on a scav bus, this journey of discovery began, leading to fresh understandings and novel notions to blend in future acts of making. Such has been the course charted that I would add to this apt cloud storage. Would submit these boons of effort beyond mere pa...

Re: shadow98cat's maps

. On v.3.1 the API lacks support for making use of gateways so NullBot doesn't have a way to take note of them. Nothing you can do but prebuild the defenses yourself in FlaMe which is why I did it in my "New Pangaea" which was ok because it was strictly an SP map and not for MP. Granted, w...

Re: Kinda looks * Scavy * : Vehicles & structs from RL...

.   Military graffiti has a long history. The 3 randomly selected attachments below are from WW 2. Check out that one from D-day. Pretty involved and intellectual. 'Course, with scale & pixel considerations, such wouldn't do with our Scavs (& NOT because they lack intellect or cannot transla...

Re: Kinda looks * Scavy * : Vehicles & structs from RL...

. The subject of Scav grafitti on thier buses came up a few weeks ago. I'll add my thoughts on the matter here l8r but for now take in this work by Buenos Aires grafitti artist Nerf, highlighting his signature "cubes" style. 2 short words could be legible at normal playing distance, I thin...

Re: Models by Jorzi (AR)

. Mulling over this subject of scav graffiti triggered what I call my MAIN process (Motivation, Action, Imagination, Nerve) resulting in a short story in which the following played a part; literally, metaphorically and graphically.     ~ Resist to exist.   ~ Frak links ! ~ All flesh.   ~ Scav on !

Re: Models by Jorzi (AR)

. Like indicated, I thought they would inspire better, not that they were offered as contenders in any sense. Guess that didn't work out. But opening up a clarifying dialog like this could bear fruit. :) Shorter for sure. :3 Egoic or ideological (excluding smut or befuddling slang, for obvious reaso...

These may at least inspire better efforts... :3
