Kjahla81 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Funny I went to look at the spot and standing on it killed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've been nice to leave a "dead" boil where it is for a few weeks. That would've just been a recolor of the boil and removal of the toxin field. Seems there is something left like a crater... and the toxin field is still active. I thought I had seen a crater after the operation ended, but I also ran through the area and got killed without seeing anything crater-like or even realizing that was the spot. I think it's not loading properly some or even most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment an object enters the denser atmospheres it's slowing down, that's how friction works. Result = Inconclusive It was somewhat sphere shaped obviously. Considering its mass: lets assume diameter was about 150 to 200m (considering we take distances out of a game...). V = 4/3 π r³ (volume of a sphere) => 4/3 x π x 150m³ ~ 14.137.167m³ Considering the fragments let's say 14.000.000m³ Taking a low average density of humus (nature, not food) of 1.4 t per m³ we would end up with 19.600.000t. So the meteroid had a weight of roughly 20 Mt. Yes I can't know the exact initial speed upon entering the atmosphere. Meteors from our solar system can reach up to 42 km/s. So relativly to earth (travel speed of 30 km/s) it can reach 72 km/s. Lowest speed of meteors is about 11 km/s. So let's take our previous formula for cinetic energy E = 1/2 mv² for the energy of the impact. Of course we have to lower the speed because the atmosphere is slowing it down. Let's assume the atmosphere was able to slow the meteroid down to 7 km/s we would end up with the following: E = 1/2 x 20.000.000t x (7.000 m/s)² E= 490.000.000.000.000 J =490.000 GJ That equals about the energy of 117 Kt explosives (the nuke thrown on hiroshima had about 13 Kt explosive energy) You probably know how the city looked like after the explosion. And that's the impact energy with very low numbers. So THERE HAS TO BE A CRATER! Anyway enough math, it's still only a game and Warframe is kwon for its space magic physics.

Ninjamander Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 "Be wary. The creature has grown unfathomably strong through centuries of absorbing matter and self-replication." All that lore was throw away thanks to those recoloured version of lephantis, so I pretty much expect this to happen =/ (sadly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncaIroh Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Well, take into consideration that it was a living object and slowed down so it doesn't kill itself on impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MingCR Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 About all the ppl saying that sqishy stuff doesn't do much damage: when dropping from outside the atmosphere, squishiness is unimportant. what we know: the boil had a smooth surface --> almost no air resistance it was glowing when entering the atmosphere --> it already flew fast enough to heat up the compressed air in front of it it was able to keep together even though it went very fast through a gas filled volume: infested flesh is way more dense than human flesh (if a human moved with that velocity only a red mist would remain even before hitting the ground) energy is mass divided by 2 multiplied by velocity squared. lets say the boil had a medium radius of 20 metres. that means a mass of (20m*2)^3 * 1 g*cm^-3 * approx 900 m/s squared (3 times speed of sound, normal for those reentries) that means 5.8 times ten ^ 13 joules. all that energy has to go somewhere. should have left something.

zfenty Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 A giant ball of organic/semi robotic matter designed to fight the sentients, maybe it softly rested on the plains. It was hovering for 2-3 weeks in the atmosphere before it decided to land on the plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
