pdxdubin Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 OP - you shouldn't change OP so much - and change the title from "rumors about" to suddenly talking as if it is the truth. Oh i was going more for, it would be cool to have this. How can i word that right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxdubin Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 From the "stickied "Lore" thread: "Automatons are not directly affected by the plague. - Warframe" so, yeah. Plus all the Infested you see in the game were more or less clearly once human; no "turned" MOAs in sight for example. Similarly the basic machinery and whatnot of the ships and stations appears unaffected by the Infestation, save the peculiar presumably more-or-less organic "undergrowth". (Okay there are those odd red "fly swarms" in the Infested levels, but God only knows what the Hell THEY are or do...) Well the post I was responding to was discussing the Infested you know... But anyways. The problem with *your* idea is that these'd have to be Earth bugs or at least some derivation thereof - AFAIK there are no confirmed aliens in the game universe beyond the nebulous "sentients" the Orokin had an interstellar war with in the distant past, and those clearly aren't to be found inside the Sol system (duh; if they'd been able to get troops as far as their opponent's home system there's only one way the war could have ended by that point). And Earthling bugs alas don't fit the bill *at all* due to a number of structural limitations; not to mention that every other terrestrial object in the system is smaller and lower-gravity than Terra, which doesn't exactly lend itself to somehow evolving into big bruisers robust enough to have some kind of resistance to advanced firearms... more like, low gravity produces fragile spindly things. But there is a thing called a video game which make this possible =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenseiSeraph Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Infested are too much like bugs already... We need a lizard or frog-like race that focus primarily on low troop count, but tough-as-nails fighters. Multi-point bad guys with 2-3 weakspots that can be disabled (break the leg, then break the arm, then blow up the head) The ratio would be 1 of these guys would = 4 or so Grineer This would mean that taking down one of those guys would take as long and as much ammo as a group of Grineer, or two Grineer heavies. Think giant bugs. Like the one from here but less human and more like the collectors from the Mass Effect series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the giant bugs could be like ancients, that kinda controll all the little and kinda big bugs that fly around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridias Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 But there is a thing called a video game which make this possible =P There's also this thing called "having some class" which makes this unlikely - the makers seem big on this "far-future posthuman conflict" theme - plus the setting *does* seem to try and maintain a certain veneer of basic plausibility, near-magical superscience or no.

Arlayn Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I honestly cant see how this differs from infested... they have dog forms, poison forms, legless forms, leapers, exploders, and supposedly in the future they will release a boss that is massively huge and will just be a greater mass of flesh in a complicated form... and the stuff on he ground I always thought were plants that occur when a infested flesh mass decays and falls to the ground turning into plants that release infested spores into the air to infect new host, or possibly make the environment more livable for the other infested. Bugs we don't need em... We already have a fierce species known as the infested that makes the new mines tile set a living hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodess Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 From the stickied "Lore" thread: "Automatons are not directly affected by the plague. - Warframe" So, yeah.

Similarly the basic machinery and whatnot of the ships and stations appears unaffected by the Infestation, save for the peculiar presumably more-or-less organic "undergrowth" growing on floors. (Okay there are those odd red "fly swarms" in the Infested levels, but God only knows what the Hell THEY are or do...) Note that some of the Infested-related components, such as Plastids, seem to suggest the stuff works on at least some kinds of plastic... but this doesn't mean much, given that plastics are basically hydrocarbons and there's no principal reason why living organisms couldn't produce them; astrobiologists theorize larger "super Titans" with enough gravity to keep the necessary volatiles in their atmosphere - "petrochemical worlds" - could well host life based around such complex polymers in the real universe. Well the post I was responding to was discussing the Infested you know... But anyways.
