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*

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!

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?

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

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

Hope you like this one
