Tell me about it--they were like, the ninjas of Descent 1. You never saw them and then you heard that metallic screech and before you could move, your shields started draining...*shudder*

Well, Vauss wasn't in D1, but okay...

well, the \"machine gun\". i forget the specific names, language is stupid.

Duper · Post by **Duper** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 12:15 am

gatlin gun?

It was a vulcan gun. they used them extensively in Viet Nam.

not sure i understand your post, but i'm assuming your saying the \"gatling gun\" from vietnam was also called a \"vulcan\" (which i now recall was the correct name for the machine gun in Descent 1

).

which begs the question.

why was a driller robot armed with gun from vietnam - for mining? i understand the gun in Descent was used for DRILLING into rock, and the robot was primarily a mining robot - not defence.

Didn't they say in the briefings some robots were \"*modified* for unknown resons\" (or rather obvious)? I guess this left some freedom for the modelers which created those nightmares. I remembered being shocked by the sounds these bots (lifters and drillers) produced when attacking. Uuuuhhh scary!

It's very interesitng... A vulcan (minigun) in the 24th Century? NO WAY!

haha, speaking of robots with scary sounds

Yeah the driller was annoying, but also cool.

The Descent 1 AI is the only one that can give you nasty surprises
like that, even if you know the level well. Descent 2 has bots that
can snipe but they were just annoying. Descent 3 is even worse.
Most of its bots can only kill you because they're so damn hard to
hit and you can't dodge 100% of their shots.

The driller is very dangerous even though it dies from 1 missile.

yeah. my bad. the vulcan is a type of gatlin. I'd much rather have the one on the A-10. had 4 different things on my mind when i posted that.

I always thought the same thing about the homing missile hulks. Presumably ore deposits don't move?

Duper · Post by **Duper** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 10:03 pm

well they were until they went nuts. Read the briefings of D1 and D2 and Vertigo. They were modified outside their regular design.

roid · Post by **roid** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 2:20 am

i thought the hulks were primarily SECURITY droids, thus the missiles.

MetalBeast · Post by **MetalBeast** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 8:12 am

So, I made another one wallpaper, without annoying bots

Hope you like this one
