You don't want updated nightmares?

edit: I will never ask again

Quick question about the icanus, is it's name from the lord of the rings?
"Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkun to the Dwarves; Olorin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten, in the South Icanus, in the North Gandalf; to the East I go not."

No!

I thought you've made updated nightmares...

It isn't true,right?

You revamped... The Nightmares?

If you did...

Of course I did.  Why else would I release those crappy versions?

Let's change argument,it's better...

Erm......not to sound noobish, but i havent seen this Icanus, or this 'Diablo' you speak of, is it in a campaign?

[Snail]

You did play Inferno, right?

[Vasudan Commander]

You did play Inferno, right?

Inferno R1, yes, but long time ago, and my memory isnt what it used to be.

I'd download it and play it again, but my ISP is being an evil mongrel.

Diablo = Shivan Superdestroyer

Icanus = Terran Mother****ing Superjuggernaut

[Vasudan Commander]

I see.

Hmm, i gotta agree. This idea of being a spectator and watching two superdestroyers exchange beam fire until one dies, without being able to affect the course of the battle much, is a little frustrating.

Solutions i thought up are :-

1. Enable the player to fly some sort of 'super bomber' equipped with a beam cannon (obviously meant for short bursts, deplete energy as quick, or quicker, then a maxim gun)

2. Give the player super bombs (Meson Torpedoes?)

3. Give these super giant mega ultra mothership destroyers WEAKSPOTS! (a reactor or something the player can target to make the whole thing go boom, then make him fly for his life to get clear of the blast)

Well you know, I made a draft for a Gigas/Icanus duel, that would make it much more sane and much more involved for the player.

It would start off with two Apothess destroyers at long range, sniping the reactor subsystems of the Gigas. Shivan carriers launch fighters and bombers to try and kill the Apothess destroyers. When the Gigas' reactors are destroyed, the Gigas would 'not be able to fire its main subspace weapon'. Then, when the reactor subsystems are down, the EA launch a large attack on the Gigas so the player has time to destroy the main URed cannons of the Gigas. When these are down, the Icanus warps in at medium range and begins firing upon the Gigas. Enemy Juggernauts/Destroyers will warp in to destroy the Icanus, as well as heavy Durja bombers attempt to destroy the main gun of the Icanus. When the Gigas is near 20% health, the Icanus has an overheat in its main reactor or something, then the Shivans launch a huge attack on the Icanus. When the Icanus gets back online, the Icanus fires once more and kills the Gigas.

nobody noticed that VC necro'd another thread?

I noticed, but I don't care since I still like this discussion and it's MY thread.
