Blehm 98 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I thought you could use entropy launchers, then saw on some site that you can't. Why can you not use them? They are very powerful and useful, especially on raids or against skeletoids and anthropods, and i can't see why they are disabled. Unless they aren't, at which point, close and delete this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 You can't build them, but you can certainly gather and use them. The only downside of using them is that you reduce the amount of loot you can recover and it'll only work on enemies that carry equipment (and selling loot for money is a very big concern for quite a number of players) . Aliens with built in weapons haven't got anything that'll explode and harm them, they'll still take impact damage, but this isn't that serious compared to unarmoured humans. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yeah, well, i still make tons of money, but arming a team with entropy launchers and back-up disrupters and raiding someone(sirius maybe, but i don't like raiding sirius or any gang because they actually hurt me) and then cooking them aliveI'd only use it on a few aliens, and it would be very satisfying to kill aliens with their own evil weaponsalso, if you pick up a loaded brainsucker launcher in the battlescape, can you use it?

NKF Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 You can, but the brainsucker is still counted as an alien. Clay pigeons anyone? - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 so i can shoot brainsuckers at nutrivend soldiers, they become alien, and then they shoot other nutrivend rentacops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Well, you can't normally load brainsuckers and bring them into a raid as brainsucker pods don't appear in the cityscape inventory screen, but I once edited some in and all they wanted to do was attack my human/hybrid soldiers - no one else. So it wouldn't have much effect. You've probably noticed how the aliens totally ignore civilians... It's sad. In Apocalypse, everyone's out to get you. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 yes, civilians aren't there to save, they're there so you can kill them and lose points How sad... and the aliens know you will lose points if you kill civilians and that civilians provide cover, so they let you kill them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sick of seeing yellow dressed ladies running around when theres a groteque aliens next to her!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well civies do have nice death screams As for weapons, you can edit alien weapons to appear in your equipment screen - but megaspawn weapons do not work for humans... bummer... :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted July 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Well, you'd think the civilians would run away, but not, they run to the aliens and stand in front of them or they run into my LOF while i'm shooting! And the aliens are smart enough to know civilians are voluntary body shields. I swear, when i think about how stupid the civilians are i get very angry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Kyth Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 If you're really desperate, get Hybrids to mindzap the civvies. (Civvies have low Psidef unless they're robots) Then walk the civvies out of the way and release control. Simple, innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Unusually enough, the company that owns the building doesn't care about the people thatl are in it - except perhaps the armed guards. All they really care about is the building, and if it's damaged in any way (doesn't matter who does the damage), you're going to take the blame for it. They don't seem to mind if miss yellow dress and hat drops dead for some inexplicable reason - not even the aliens care to attack civilians. So don't worry about the civilians. Worry about collateral damage and watch where those bullets go! Okay it's not that bad, but a little bit of property damage at a time can eventually cause the company to go ape and think the aliens are their friends - whether or not the aliens want it. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 well, in reality, for me, i prefer if civilians get killed, it keeps my score down, i gain score so fast sometimes that killing civilians to bring my score down can helpI actually hate miss yellow dress, and it is very funny to me when civilians get caught in the crossfire between me and the aliens, as the run at the aliens zigzagging to catch my fire, dropping like flies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight_of_the_ravens Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 i had something wierd happen the other day...i was raiding one of the bases in the alien dimension and usually i'm a cheap lil bastard who equips all my doods with marsec flight gear on the torso and put disrupt armour on the arms and legs and fly all around the base only landing to plant bombs, anywho this idiot skelatoid shoot one of my best guys with ONE and ONLY ONE lil entropy missile, it eats off the marsec torso and he falls all the way down to his death, even with all the health upgrade from training he dies instantly...shows how luckly effective those stupid bugs are...
