The BUG invasion (OOC/signup/discussion) ATTN: sci-fi fans

I've been wanting to do a stereotypical alien bug invasion RP with ebil alien bugs invading, blasting stuff, face-hugging, zombifying/infesting people and laying eggs in people. Sorta like the flood. I also think that infested people act and look like zombies at first but as infestation progresses they act and look like normal people only with their impulses manipulated to serve the swarm. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts they'd like to add to this sci-fi alien horror thread in the making they are free to do so.

Nations involved (either to help stop invasion or being invaded):

Signing up, lets kick some bug ass, who needs bug spray when for a giant bug you smash it with a giant mobile suit.

Despite being new on the boards, I think this sounds awesome and would be more than willing to help fight off the psuedo-'nids. What is the proposed tech level?

FT or MT if you want to go on the defensive.

Also you can play as refugees fighting them off as well as government and armed forces.

No, defense is anything from MT to FT. So you can fight them off with modern tech dawn of the dead style or blast them silly halo style. :D:gundge:

you just made my day FT is ready, prepare your self for the awsome power of the ZAFT naval forces. nothing beats using Mobile suits and giant warships and so on to defend on a united stance.

I might be interested in joining.. depends on what all is happening with my nation though. I'm involved in what could become a pretty messy conflict.

Basically alien bugs are attacking the planet so they can call it home. I think that'll simplify things a whole lot. :D

so basicly the local population sends a call for help, say MT and PMT guys are the people on the planet and the FT guys come to the rescue

Yeah. in my country which is FT and has a space fleet, we'll ahve to tangle with ships getting infested and turning on us which'll suck for the characters involved. But the good news is my fleet can help the others being invaded.

i'll take a look, so i'll be a nation who doesnt get infected at first but sends aide and then get hit later...

Okay. I intend to be PMT, basically playing 40K-style Imperial Guard who lack space faring capability. So Spit break is using Gundam SEED-based tech, what is everyone else using? Are you generic or homebrew FT, South Lizasauria?

My tech homebrew. Most of my fleet is based on starcraft terran crossed with BSG a little. I have plasma weaponry for the fleet and advanced version of modern tech like miniguns that can transform into grenade launchers and such. Most my FT tech is made by my creativity and a little of the tech from other sci-fi movies/games.

sounds good, its amazing how different my tech is from seed now, its more a CE derived tech mixed with BSG with a small Andromada influence

I see that. Lacking the ability to do anything about it, nor notice it for that matter, I think I'll wait to act until the things start landing in my backyard.

Lets have the invasion being where the infested individuals who are sleeper agents are send back alive unaware of what they've become and they end up infesting others either because their instinct tells them to or by accident.

I'd like to join, as a minor participant owing to the fact that my schedule is all over the place at times. If acceptable, my tech is bastardized from a couple SF novels, with a couple kegs of homebrew thrown in.

Lets come up w/units they have or acquire as the RP progresses:

Spores-like asteroids only they infest everything withing a certain radius once they collide with something. They carry underlings (like the flood that attach themselves to people)

Underlings-can do three things: impregnate(only works on female victims), zombify by injecting their spore into the victim which begins to control the victim's impulses so that he/she feels good benefiting the bugs rather than <place sentient species here> And last but not least infestation where a seed is placed inside the victim and squishes around inside the victim until it reaches the brain thus hijacking the body.

Zombie- at first acts like a zombie after being infected with spores, the spores cause a shock to the system thus making them look undead, but after the host is conditioned by the spores he/she regains full consciousness and his/her normal looks. Getting bitten by zombie or having any of it's bodily fluids mix with yours can cause zombification.

Birds of hell: The flying carrier space flies I mentioned in the second post, they can also sprinkle spores on areas that zombifies people.

Spitters: They spew toxins and spores into the air to dissorient, zombify or weaken enemies.

Meganid: A large ultralisk type beast crossed with those large beetle things from Starship troopers.

you can do MT/PMT as a nation of the planet, if you want or try FT i mean a fullet works just as well at killing a bug as a laser does, just means your space comabt is relativly limited

Okay, I'll do my space shuttle or something, or my space station. Luckily is has troops....

why not a tank equivalent, or spores that spread like gas...they send a spore over a major city it gets shot at and explodes allowing thousands of tiny spores to infect hundreds and zombie them all

what about a more larger bug kinda like the warrior bugs from star ship troopers? those things had come melee power
