Title: Invisible KO force
Post by: x60mmx on May 01, 2016, 11:00:57 pm
Lately when I ambush landed Trader ships, there is sometimes this invisible force that bounces around the map on the enemy turn making weird sounds.  If it happens to land on someone, friend or foe, they go unconscious.  It has yet to cause problems, but curious as to what it is.  The missions end normally.

Question: is it a desert and is it red?
If you answered yes to both, this is intended as type of terrain that randomly stuns everyone.

Is there ever any in game info on this at some point?  Landed in a jungle once that had random small stun explosions going off as well.  I like the idea, but it is confusing with no in game explanations.

Yes, it is intensional but I don't know if there is information in the game. You can look on the map and you will see little white "+" signs, for items on the ground, all over the place. These are the things that blow up and you can try to avoid stepping too close to them.

Speaking of which... There's Still that "Hazardous Terrains" article that still needs to be written for the wiki..... Just Saying. 
(Heck, you write it, I'll post it, if your wiki-fu is not high.)

Case is even when you hit the poisonous flower/bush with a flamer, it is still kicking. Which is wierd. Also is there any chance to make forest/trees flammable?
I expected to clear the jungle with napalm, Vietnam-style...

Trees are flammable. It just takes time for them to burn down.

I would write it, but have no idea what to write as there is no info that I know of.  It needs a Bootypedia topic.
