Flying Big Bro Sligs?
 
I just thought of something very interesting just now. What if there were flying Big Bro Sligs in M.E.? First off they would have to have some kind of massive jet pack so they can get there huge body off the ground. That would be hard to do. But you don't know what Lanning is cooking up.

with reactors in his back...
hmmm I don't think it's a good idee, there will come skeeters, very better!!!!

Imagine that paramiteabe.
1. They are too big.
2. We already have flying sligs.

Anyway that would be pretty cool seeing a BBS flying through the sky.

(sorry can't resist this!)

*grabs Spider and straps a jetpack on him*

Spider: what the...oh no...

*starts up the jetpack*

Spider: eep...

*Jetpack struggles.**Finally it just explodes*

Nope...Big Bro types can't fly...

Spider: *charred and scorched**coughs a puff of smoke* I could've told yer that...ow...medic...*collapses*

Hmmm....*looks over at the rest of her Drakkics* I wonder if using jets the size of plane engines will work...

*Characters scatter*

Wwwwhhhhaaaaattttttt? I am only joking!

(sorry again if this is spam...just putting some humor in)

A flying BigBro Slig would be a terrifying creature to flee from. I can imagine they'd be wearing this huge harness with a big helicopter propellor humming loudly above them. Leaves and dust would be violently blown away as they chase you!

General Drippik 11-21-2001 03:19 AM

Yeah! I can see it now!! Munch rollin' along in his little wheel chair getting away from the flying BBS! And the jet pack is connected to a helicopter propellor! Vroooom!!

I don't think they would fly that well. They would probably bump into things. LOL

Danny 11-21-2001 10:28 PM

I read on oddworld.com that there will be no flying sligs at all in MO... :(

abe22 11-22-2001 02:35 AM

Thats unfair No flying sligs in MO flying sligs are cool to control though darn

Elum 11-22-2001 02:41 AM

I think there could definately be flying Big Bro's. That would be really cool though...

Grid 11-23-2001 06:22 AM

Hahahaha, it would rule if you could possess a flying slig then fly them upwards, higher, higher, higher, higher, until they hit the sun and popped

And that would be the problem. In a game, each level just has to have limitations! If there were flying sligs in the open, how would they limit where you could fly to? Flying sligs are not stopped by walls, unless it's inside a building... But then, it won't be as great as in the open.

Kept trying that sort of stuff in Exodus. Found a secret passage that way. Which begs a question.

With all the new coding in Munch is it possible to run all the way around and find yourself back were you started or are there environment limits like walls and cliffs? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :p

Big bro sligs wouldn't fly. They'd be too heavy to fly!

Xavier 11-30-2001 01:26 PM

I think we never saw much Flying creatures, it will be to hard to program

Alector 11-30-2001 02:53 PM

I really would like to see a flying BBS. I think it would be hard to control it because they are so heavy and tall. Moreover the BBS have comparative to the normal flying Sligs too much armament.
They simply can't fly easily.

But when this would be, they need very big machines to fly! And maybe they would have bigger weapons to attack helpless Mudokons!
