A little thing about Na Pali that confuses me

[Chaos13]

You dont actually turn invisible you just "feign" invisibility. I might fix that fact in DNaliPlayer

[PRIMEVAL]

Hah Did you read what I wrote? My idea:

But they're limited to helping others - if you don't help, you don't get telekinetic hormones (or sth) and can't use telekinetic abilities. They can use them if someone helps them as well. But I wonder, where do they all teleport to?

And yea, feign death is strange. Didn't know you turn invisible... Either way bots don't care, unlike with invisibility. And this IS telekinetic, look at the manual.

So they can only teleport if someone helps them or helps you?  That can't be it since I shoot Nali all the time, they run away, find a place that seems safe, and they teleport away. No helping invovled

[GreatEmerald]

I never kill Nali so I don't know. Lol. If we were honest then Nali teleport because they want to help our computers and free up some memory But in these times, they don't need that...

Now if we look from the Unreal Universe perspective, then I could rephrase that:

But they're limited to helping others and escaping a deadly situation - if you don't help, you don't get telekinetic hormones (or sth) and can't use telekinetic abilities. They can use them if they avoid dying in a deadly situation as well, like when a player saves a Nali from a Skaarj or if the player makes the deadly threat and the Nali escapes. But I wonder, where do they all teleport to?

[Frouste]

Why no, they weren't further away. Like Skaarj jets - they were very near even though they could fly high in the air. And the escape pods did manage to get out of the pull and like I've said UMS Bodega Bay was really near the orbit, and nothing happened.

Ok, first of all, the Rikers could have been attacked along the way to their and the Skaarj busted some of the tarydium power cores; thus, leaving an inssufficient amount of fuel to escape Na Pali's strong gravitational pull.
And the Prometheus had probably been bushwhacked by the mercs and had the same situation.

Secondly, Tarydium wouldn't just be found on Na Pali, and virtually all tech is powered by it (save for the Nanoblack used by the Necris). So, it wouldn't be a problem for Liandri to mine the mineral from asteroids, not just Na Pali...

Third, you would obviously assume (given the quoted statement) that the Skaarj had made the tech on their spacecraft good enough to keep the jets and ships from getting phucked up by the Tarydium.

Stop and think before you spray say something like that...

[GreatEmerald]

No proof. Logs state no attack - there was no attack.
About Prometheus, there is nothing to say that's true or false.
Well yes, Tarydium isn't only on Na Pali for some reason. But it seems that Na Pali has a strange gravitational field, that might have come from the Tarydium and some other element junction, an element that is only on Na Pali.
Strange quote there... Posted ages ago, I don't even remember that.
Is that aggression? You know, people don't like conflicts. They do not. So do not start with that.

[Frouste]

no aggression was intended...

You can be right, but the ISV-Kran had reported to a group of people from the wreck of the Rikers, that they had seen a Skaarj vessel in operation. This leads me to believe that the Skaarj knew the planet would have people crashing on the planet and thus set up base there to raid ships. If there was no logs of an attack, then the Skaarj would've left the ships crash then started the raiding, or breached the ship silently(somehow) and did the raiding with the few people that survived the crash.

Of course, the Kran would strengthen the two possibilities, because the ship had been wedged in a gap of earth for at least three months before the Skaarj had started raiding the cargo-ship...

[GreatEmerald]

Well, why not. Sure, the Skaarj probably got on Na Pali earlier than others (not the Nali of course). After a while they must have found out that ships crash there and they could raid them for good items.

Hmm, now that's one interesting piece of writing I found. It's not a too official map description, but still might be true:

Ultimate Community Map Pack DM-UCMP3-Altitude description:
The meteors in quadrant 17 of the Nebula were known for centuries, but it wasn't until the planet Na Pali was discovered that its mysterious capacity to float became known. Many investigations later, scientists are still puzzled as to how Methriril can ignore the laws of gravity and maintain a steady position in a low-pressure environment. This hasn't stopped investors from using it, though. The material is widely used to replace satellites and weather stations...and one deathmatch location for warriors that aren't afraid of heights.
