The advice thread

Two giant tanks on his back and two nozzles on his side, remides me of the flame tanks from Command and Conquer 1. If you do the double nozzles, you really wouldn't need to have a way to switch tanks, just a way to fire them seperatly.

Indeed. But I'm wondering if that's an unrealistically huge system. But, using the weights from the weapons in the game, the entire thing will only weigh some 27 (whatever unit is used. Pounds? Kilos?). Of course, most of the weight would come from the fuel, which as I understand is both gas and liquid. Of course, the best way to store gas is as a liquid, so it'll be two tanks with different types of liquid. I'm assuming the gas is for the flamer while the incinerator fires blobs of liquid, which would make the flamer have a capacity of ca. 1000 times as much ammo as the incinerator, since gasses expand ca. 1000 times it's volume as a liquid when heated to a gaseous state.

That could be used. Especially since the Fallout wiki describes the use for the Incinerator as essentially long range artillery, and the flamer as excellent towards lightly or unarmored opponents in close combat.
...
I think this character is the most combat-versatile character in the story, so far.

There's a limit to the logic you can apply to a setting with a giant communist stomping robot.

Oh sweet Celestia have mercy, don't get me started on the fuckin' robot... xD
I seriously jumped with joy when it got destroyed xD

Oh then you'll hate my story, towards the end the main characters are going to find a robotic factory containing the unfinished Luna Prime.

My point was that fallout and MLP treat the laws of physics as gentle suggestions rather then laws. Don't break your brain trying to make it all add up. Luna prime sounds like a ton of fun actually.

Yea but there will be much more to it then just a giant robot Luna. I have several more things mixed in, but I'll save those for when I revel them in the story.

What is a panini? Funny word though xD

And red hair it is then. Currently, his coat (in my head) is gray, but I'd like a different colour than that. Mostly because everything defaults to a gray coat in my head, even those who I have decided on another colour.

Something in the orange or purple spectrum would go well with red hair. as would brown or pink.

Come on, Liberty Prime had some of the best lines... and on that note you may have a problem with Old World Blues.

The greatest robot ever.

I guess so. But still, I AM a physicist. I should take care to atleast avoid the really glaring errors. xD

Meh. I'll read it anyway. I've liked stuff that went against my initial opinions more radically than that. MLP:FiM is a brilliant example on that. xD

Aah! So THAT'S a panini xD

And, purple sounds nice. Might make his hair purple and his coat red. Glaring, I know, but who cares? xD

His lines were so cheesy I was literaly wincing when I played alongside it xD
And, yeah, I might. But I have no idea what that DLC does yet, so... xD

Three words. Guant. Robo. Scorpion. (not a spoiler, is in the trailer).

The lines for Luna Prime will be better since she will be a self-aware A.I., and thats the last your getting out of me on the subject.

Oh and Pinkie Prime was the original idea, but it works out better with Luna. Since there would also be a psychology warfare aspect with a giant robot Nightmare Moon walking around the battlefield fighting the Zebras. Using Pinkie just seemed too silly.

Exactly his attitude. He's going to be clashing brilliantly with the way more subtle Blind Spot xD

And... giant scorpion. Could've been much worse. xD
