[QUOTE="Testament, post: 2166050, member: 21833"] Cool, I thought that it'd be an interesting visual as well. And it creates a certain level of paranoia, since you can't ever be sure what that thing will do. And I'm glad you liked the Solar Cannon, I thought that was a cool idea. I wasn't sure how much development you'd done with the Beserkers, so I left it relatively open. I was guessing you'd go with the Leviathans though. The Vong, for the record, use lving technology, but it's quite clearly alive. Their weapons breathe, their ships are fleshy, that sort of thing. Same with the Tyranids of Warhammer 40K too. Essentially then, the Serks are huge masses of metal and unclassified organic matter that grows and heals itself, turned into an invincible, infinitely mutable juggernaut of death by the Nanoweb. I fear for your players. Still seems kind of wasteful for a race smart enough to create these horrors, but its your game. I reiterate that it was my take on them, and I found the idea of a planet simply purged of human life brilliant. I had mental images of ghost cities, appliances still on, as though everything just [I]stopped[/I], there and then when the contagion hit. [/QUOTE]
