Can we assimilate pie? It would make being a drone so much more comfortable...

New Ranked Invasion Cube 0018 has started branching out to assimilate their own. Two encounters in and no assimilation yet.

Can we have separate Skill lists for Normal and Doubles please. As Dogde and Block keep swapping place on the main list it is a little confusing because this (as far I can tell) doesn't affect your choice of skill... unless I am wrong which is highly possible...

If you only have marauders, it doesn't. As soon as you have an elf, it does.

Since the different player types have different skill access, we can't separate it - or would have to make a list (or in fact two) for each of them (grouped by skill access). Sorry.

Ranked Invasion Cube 016 - Encounter #007

Information Encounter with species identified as Elfs (variant: Wood). Supported with a similar animated tree as halflings encountered earlier.

Analysis The outcome was unfavourable. Speed and agility of the opponent was notably superior to our own and was a major factor in the outcome. No assimilations were made, but no lasting damage was sustained by the drones.

Threat Assesment Physical threat Low-to-Moderate.

Complete data available here.

Ranked Invasion Cube 016 - Encounter #008

Information Encounter a crew of re-animated human corpses. Some were decomposed to bare skeletons, some had still rotting flesh. Two larger individuals were covered in cloth strips. All were slow and of below average agility, but very resilient to damage.

Analysis The outcome was unfavourable. The enemy had superior combat skills and were able to regenerate sustained damage. Three drones were severely damaged during the encounter. No assimilations were achieved, though these beings are not even possible to assimilate.

Threat Assesment Moderate to high. Because these beings are probably not suitable for assimilation, encounters are recommended to be avoided unless favourable conditions apply.

Complete data available here.

Goblins formerly known as Gerald. and Whatever were successful assimilated during this encounter. One body, severely damaged after successfully being deployed as a goblin projectile and hitting our ball carrying drone, was deployed as a drone and the other one transferred to the cube depot.

Two new skills to be uploaded to the Hive Mind: Side-step and Diving Tackle.

The replay is worth checking out to see how we collected Gerard's body (it was late in the 2nd half). We don't think there will be another assimilation like this one anytime soon.

Ah, wait. He failed a landing? Then we sadly can't assimilate him. He just died. :-/

Hive Mind Updated!

He didn't just die, his body did not survive the impact of coming into contact with our drone, nanobots were successfully transferred during the collision and assimilation occurred.

Hmm... Okay, maybe this is a special case. You mean you caught him with your assimilation grip right out of the air? Very Happy

Our Ag5 drone detected the hapless creature flying through the air and deftly raised his arm with tubules deployed. The being landed on the outstretched fist and infected before hitting the ground, however the force of impact knocked over our drone.

Stunted being formerly designated T3mpano "Because Ladies know best" was assimilated during this encounter. Whilst the fragile body was not able to be deployed as a drone the mind provided useful tactical information.
