Goes to do other things... see multi-page thing about mechs... *sigh*
Hey, I was just wondering. How much of the human body could we technically replace with prosthetics? How good can we make those prosthetics?
If a soldier was crippled but they want to keep fighting could we theoretically give them bionic arms of equal or greater capability than their old fleshy arms? If all else fails, would they be able to trade their limbs for the ability to pilot a sort of Mechanized Exoskeletal Cybersuit?
There is a full body prosthetics tech.
Though limb cloning and replacement was a thing in the hospital in ME3 wasn't it? I definitely recall some random NPC losing a limb and treatment options being discussed, though it might have been just a prosthetic.
Aren't we already selling weapons to the turians?
Arc-reactors not weapons. IIRC.
Actually it might be best if we just ask
@Hoyr what the costs and capabilities of the mechs are?
They're giant robots? News at 11.
More seriously they're a legacy item on the tree. It would cover any design that used either a giant robot arm or giant robot leg (tentacle, limb, etc). I can't think of a particular reason to take them. Thus my earlier comment about how I would never get to make a mechwarrior reference.
The only upside is that looking at things I think the Mech techs gets you bigger vehicles for less RP past the first.
I'm not asking Hoyr to remove mechs from the tech tree because its not my place to dictate what is allowable in this quest. Obviously I'm not going to advocate voting for it, but my point here isn't in trying to dictate how Hoyr runs his quest, it was to argue against a misconception you had on why mechs are ideal platforms for civilian use.
Mechs where put on by a past GM, GM number one for that mater... yeah I'm number 3. So yeah.. sometime I'm cleaning up Bioware's mess some time my own and other times it's other GM's messes. Its great. You should have seen my thoughts on the improved warheads tech one I understood all of it. I think the could be summed up as, "No, no, I refuse to let time traveling anti-matter infantry missiles be a thing."
I wish
@Hoyr would weigh in here, just to help resolve this.
Eh sorry had other things to do, also reason update is delayed its like 90% done. Just need to do one part, but it's on I want to spend a little time on.
How much production would it take to make a Loki?
About 1 point give or take? Probably ~0.9.
Miniaturized Energy Weapons - Part I
Any now for something completely different! Have some RP.
Only thing I'll comment on its that
@Hoyr is incredibly unlikely to let us get away with a 1 GW laser rifle, given our 90 meter frigate gun is limited to 18 GW right now. Probably 50 MW, with 5 MJ "bursts" are the best we'll be able to get, maybe with an upgrade to 100 MW/10MJ when we research Unobtanium.
Wait... what? 1GW? On an infantry gun? The Tiger has a 1MW right now... infantry guns would probably be around that or less. It's not like that won't char though a human in 0.1 seconds... oh wait it will! And they'll explode. Or at least the part you aimed at will. So probably less like 100kW... because going though 7cm of armor in a tenth of a second is good enough.
Maybe more if its big gun.
