Nah no matter how big dinosaur is, it's going to be sorry as soon as anything big(read explosive shell) hits it. Bigger ones might anyway be able take a horrendous amount of small arms fire in other parts of body than head.
Smaller ones are out of even considering. They would however make an interesting rushing weapon :D , but it's better to buy tanks as they can attack from range and resist more enemy fire than anything organic.

No, I am. My race is almost indentical and composed of various carnivorous (therapod) dinosaurs :D

Although we do carry weaponary when needed.

EDIT: Our homeworlds and some of our colonies are also populated by various non-sentient forms, making up a portion of these worlds biospheres.

Now that would make an intresting cheaper alternative to tank. Dinosaurs might be abe carry a good amount of armor, as well as heavy weaponry. Natural mobility would also make them more mobile in rough land than tanks.



OOC: Wasn't there an old kid's cartoon with dinos that had heavy weapons attached to their body ? I can't however remember the name of that show.

The larger species of Sskiss are in effect, mobile firing platforms. There are also quite fast and agile relative to their size. Smaller forms preform scouting and are used infantry as well. These are very fast and agile as well as being astonishing leapers.

We would be interested in a gene sampling of each species you have managed to clone. We would be willing to pay quite well for this sampling, and would be willing to sign an agreement that we will not make exact clones of any of the dinosaurs. If you could agree to this, please contact us with a price.

My nation isn't dinasaurs, it's rats. Specifically skaven, those who play warhammer know what I'm talking about. As for those who don't, take a human skeleton(about 13 year old size is average), hunch it over, add a rat tail, change the face to a rats, add fur, and their you go, skaven.

Oh I remember you, Aren't you are member of AoL? And yes, I've played Warhammer 40k awhile back and so know what the Skaven are. Is your people exactly like the WH 40k Skaven or a little different?

I have dragons in my nation. Genetically created, or so I say so I can use them in future tech. Though I do have genetically-made zerg-like creatures that mutate people to reproduce. :D

08-08-2004, 01:51
Well, I still ask, could it be considered 2008 tech? (That's what I play in)

Plus, I was thinking about making Zerg/Hyrdolisk like creaters from dogs, but I thought I would get a lot of peoepl yelling at me....

Well i do not have anything againts "dinosaur tech", but don't except them to be really powerfull. Think realistically they are just big animals and won't be able to resist even one round fired from a tank.

As for technical issues, i think that's possible with today's tech to clone dinosaur's although i'm not sure. Little genetical engineering is already possible anyway.
However it is FANTASY tech because there is no real sense in it.
It's kinda like mechs(they are really uneffective compared to cost), but dinosaur is more reasonable as a mech is immensively expensive to build.
Main reason is steel always beats anything organic.

Genetically engineering humans into super soldiers however makes sense. Some animal's could be also engineered into warmachines. However realistically thinking those kind of "troops" would be small fast predators and used as bombs against civilian targets.
Then they are animals taming them is too costly. So they would work as an effective biological bombs, but a virus does much better that job.

Fantasy tech isn't always wrong, even so called magick which is actually mostly(not always) technology. Hitler had a lot of such weapons which classify as fantasy tech. It doesn't always have to be effective, if you have other reason for it. Like Hitler, though Hitler believed his mega-cannon and other incerible things to be effective.

I called magick technology, because in most popular fantasy worlds magick is the word used for manipulating various forces and energies through different means. Then there are the sorcerer's for which magic is inbred, but wizards are clearly scientists. That was AD&D i know, but i used it's only as example as fantasy is well fantasy. Today's fantasy is however kinda stuck in AD&D/Tolkien-style.

Note to Tolkien and fantasy fans
I like Lord of the Rings as a book and movies, but it's sad that most today's fantasy worlds are ripping off Tolkien's creation.

Funny sidenote
I'm a PnP roleplayer and like fantasy generally, who would have thought ?
I have also played AD&D far too many times and newer 3rd. edition also.

This could be possable (don't take this, I am working on it now)

Create Vallasa Raptor like creatures, but faster, and has a thicker hide agenst somethign say 12mm round?

Good agenst forest terrain.

I am researching into this for a genetic invition
Torsg
08-08-2004, 03:06
OOC:
What about the shock force generated by that round, wouldn't it break internal organs ? That's intresting anyway. Is there any organic substance as hard as steel ? If the creature would be able to grow say 50mm exoskeleton out of that kind substance it would be ideal protection againts small arms. Anyway you can always add armor plating to it. :)
If you could somehow create a device to control them withouth actually taming them, they would make very good light-support.

AoN, they are skaven, but if something needs to be altered, it is, but they are VERY close to true skaven.

Though I do have genetically-made zerg-like creatures that mutate people to reproduce.
In future tech, I made Slivers(from MtG).

As for controlling dinasaurs, I could possibly help.
Moulder, through use of warpstone, is able to...er....switch brains. It is not always effective, the body could reject it, the mind might turn on their masters, the warpstone might kill it, but it CAN be done. If you want, simply ask......

That's if their only big animals as you've said. But if intelligent and armed with weapons, then that will change quite drastically...

As for technical issues, i think that's possible with today's tech to clone dinosaur's although i'm not sure. Little genetical engineering is already possible anyway.

Perhaps not yet, DNA degrades pretty quickly. But then again you also have birds as raw genetic material. And there's something about reccessive genes...

At any rate, it's no concern to my race, we left Earth 65 million years ago.

However it is FANTASY tech because there is no real sense in it. It's kinda like mechs(they are really uneffective compared to cost), but dinosaur is more reasonable as a mech is immensively expensive to build.
Main reason is steel always beats anything organic.

If fantasy, if their still dinosaurs and nothing else, yes, I would agree with you. My race for example, is intellegent, fast and mobile. Not to mention they possess far superior strength, stanima and superior senses. In short, they are physically superior. All of my race, as I've stated earlier are composed of only the carnivourus forms (the therapod dinosaurs in essence).

Genetically engineering humans into super soldiers however makes sense. Some animal's could be also engineered into warmachines. However realistically thinking those kind of "troops" would be small fast predators and used as bombs against civilian targets.

I disagree, if intelligent, they would be devestating. Think about it, a typical trooper of this type could easily take out a tank or mech and would be faster and more agile, especially in urban areas such as cities and the like. With it's greater strength it could carry heavier portable weaponary and so on.

Another thing that people do not take into consideration, is that they would be a renewable resource (again like my race) with low maintainence (food) and basic living conditions. They could easily breed and be self maintaining as a result.

hey here's a crazy idea start selling Wepons for your dinos. like M-16s on a T-rex's back or stanless-steel claws for a raptor... crazy but sweet.. you like?
Torsg
08-08-2004, 16:26
I think a T-rex could carry and operate cannons easily. Possibly up to 50mm, maybe even bigger ones. Though in the bigger ones recoil might be problem.

Aready done that. That is, armed my race with various weapons, some bio-organic, others crystaline/alloy based and I've also gained excess to normal mechnical based weapons. My species is an alien interstellar civilization as well as being part of ESUS.

It's more or less guesswork, but I figure, since it's bigger and/or stronger it probably would be able to carry weapons that could destroy a tank or mech.

Due to popular demand, all dinosaurs carry the standard anti tank/aircrast gun and a target locker.

It could. Think of recoilles guns,AT-rockets/missiles they have virtually no recoil and can destroy tanks, mechs and other vehicles easily.
