The Necromancy

Poor, poor aliens... They are trying to achieve the objectives while underfunded, underequipped, and clearly weakened by the smelly atmosphere...
Poor buggers

Just a friendly critic Winter. Normally when you want to end a discussion or close a thread, I'd advise you to avoid trying to look like you simply must have the last word..and to avoid insulting the other side. Makes you look kind...immature or vindictive. I doubt that's the case, but that's the impression you're leaving. If you want to look neutral, the best way would be to lock a thread after someone uninvolved or mostly neutral posted.
Speaking of which, why was the tread locked in the first place? It was on-topic. ;)

I think you're over-stepping your bounds, and I caution you against calling a developer "immature or vindictive". To be honest, I think it's crazy to insult a developer. You're an armchair military "expert", and that's not a bad thing, but you're no expert just because you read Wikipedia articles and took a physics class. Your fantasy weapons are fine as a suggestion, but you insist on arguing something to death against a person who's helping create a game for free for you to play. I just hope Winter won't consider you a representative of a fan base that's a lot more respectful. He's hardly trying to get the "last word", considering your comments above (and he'd be entitled to, anyway).
Not everyone is interesting in deploying a weapon that some of us know is too problematic to accept. And frankly, as a former machine-gunner in a real army, having slogged the thing through the mud and on forced marches and having to sleep with one hand on the thing at all times, I've earned the right to say so. In the meantime, I think you owe Winter an apology. Keep in mind: these people are making this game as a labour of love, and we ought to preserve our respect for them even when they don't do everything we want. You can't say, "Thanks, but I think you're immature and vindictive." Don't ruin it for the rest of us.

Just drop it, eh? I don't want anyone carrying on the argument in this thread.
Anyway, claims to army experience cannot go unqualified. Name, rank, unit and tours of duty please! :P

I didn't say he was that, just that the last post leaves that impression. Big difference.

That's just the point. No one on these forums is military/weapon design expert.

Speaking of that, any word on the armour models?
