Killing Alien Goo

[Dodger]

What is the defence of Alien Goo? What determines whether you kill it or not when it is attacked?

[Adam]

nothing as far as i can tell... just like beacons... ive had predators unable to kill a beacon of mine before and just last night my beacon was killed by a probe and then i was killed by a slime blob... so ya... shit happens.. its randomocity on when it happens...

[Dodger]

So, is it just totally random? Let's see what matlu has to say....

[matlu]

goo has defence 6

my beacon was killed by a probe

beacons have defence 5. Probe can kill it when very lucky

[Dodger]

Thanks matlu. Do turrets also have defence 5? Why arn't these stats written on the right in game?

[matlu]

Thanks matlu. Do turrets also have defence 5?

gun turrets have defence 6

Why arn't these stats written on the right in game?

because it requires some additional programming

How about the strength of turrets?

[matlu]

How about the strength of turrets?

3

[anima]

Ok. I have always considered turrets rather pointless. They are called gun turrets, however, they have no range and are quite weak. The only thing they do is inhibit movement.

[matlu]

I'm afraid they would become too strong with higher strength

[Bakster]

Wow, I once killed a tank and a hovership with turrets on the same turn. Got me out of a pickle, now I realise how lucky I was!

[Adam]

theyre great for strategy sometimes... other times theyre just a waste...

[Dodger]

Leave it how it is.
If it isn't broken, don't fix it.
Thanks for the info Matlu...

Does Turret have a chance of killing a mech warrior?

[Adam]

yeah... a probe has a chance of killing mech warrior...
