still, would tunneling and undeployed production be possible?
So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it

Undeployed Production boils down to not being able to give orders to an undeployed unit in any normal sense...  You'd have to do it ALL by DLL, and the simplest way I can think of is to create a dummy Recy that's just a hovering unit, then a real Recy off the map.  The DLL can then move anything created to the current location of the dummy hovering unit.

***

I guess since the decision has been made to feature a race? faction? of Ancient Cthonians I've been asked about the BZC versions.  I know I've posted pictures in the past...  but don't seem to have many lying around other than:







Basically my take on the Ancient Olympians & Hadeans is fairly well documented over at BZ2MD, including some fiction outlining various things I see as likely to have happened.

Now, I've given a nod to FE lately in 'Uncle Avatar's Storytime' in that I have Olympian refugees escaping through a Portal (like the TRO ones), and set the stage for some ideas of my own by having something mysterious happen to Paternus.

I have most of the counterpart to this written, outlining Hadean refugees getting away before the planet goes...  but in their case they get away in a starship, not through a portal.  Very important to me that they do that, btw..

***

While it would be cool if everything could fit into one huge tapestry, from BZC through BZ1 & BZ2 to FE to Fleshstorm, I don't see why it's mandatory.  If you all have good ideas and the will to make them real then there shouldn't be anything restricting your vision, especially my own half-done ideas.

So go for it...   :)

Bearing in mind Avatar, the story being proposed is relatively near the start of the Hadean - Olympian war, and if current plans go ahead its where they first discover biometal, so it would be before they have a chance to develop its use to a level the likes of which have been seen as ruins by present day humanity.

Its also not hard to believe that later on revelations would encourage them to completely redesign some of their stuff. But I think that the way things are going at the moment the story arc would end with everyone on the planet being killed, with only biometal and the probe saying how to make it surviving.

All things considered, making this fit in with the rest of Cthonian history would probably  be quite easy if it is kept this way.The planet dies, their biometal designs get lost and so both sides begin again from scratch with it. The war involoving the third faction is lost to history and so the there are no potentially paradox causing records of the scions kept by the Cthonians.

They all die.
Others would merely say it was good humour.

There was a race in Star Trek that traveled back in time when they found their planet was going to be destroyed so they could live in their past.

Stop posting here, and get a final story done, guys.  It's getting to the point where I'm considering just having ONE person write the story and be done with it.  We need a complete story right now, not this.
I find that if I don't have a signature, some people disregard the last couple of lines of a long post.

looks fine, if i may recommend weapons

Default,

Particle or minigun[or a weapon of the sorts
an efficient heat seeking missile, similer to photon torpedo or shadower.
phantom vir, if your a scout, its good not to be seen.

I'd actually like to change it to a tank because scouts generally have the cockpit in the back and I don't think this looks quite like a scout. Hadean weapons will do well for this race cause their all fiery.
