Try of a realistic explaination of Tremulous' human's weapons

Not to spoil your fantasy, BUT, you can not "freeze" photons. At least not with helium. You can slow down photons with certain meta materials, but that is all.

Actually, it is possible:

But you're right, I haven't seen it in happen in helium.. I just used it so that it could be lighter than air.

Really? I thought that it was impossible/very difficult to freeze light, due to it being a massless EM wave and all. But this discovery should have been publicized more.

Yeah it's pretty cool. Did anyone actually read my entire post? Please do.

I had to do it.

Somebody had got me with it the same day and I decided to use tinyurl.com for evil and not for good.

I've had my fun though, so I'll take it out.

I like the idea of what this thread has, its obvious that zybork thought about this topic and dug in some research.

In Sins of a Solar Empire, there is a giant orbital cannon that delivers a nuclear payload in the form of a blast, which made me think MASSIVE lucifer cannon. Though....I don't know if you can energy reacting like that can just...be propelled...but...whatever...

(late post)
but here's a good one. explain why a bsuit (which is heavy) helps you hold a chain gun steady?
if you're just in light armor, you should be more able to hold it steady; at least more steady than when you're in a suit of metal

[your face]

bsuit = robot with supernatural strength

[Winnie the Pooh]

Hydraulics in the inner casings of the arm.

[mooseberry]

Pretty much, think of it that the chaingun is firmly attached to the arm of the bsuit, eliminating shaking, and the suit is not just a mess of metal, but is powered so that the slightest movement inside the suit translates to movement of the suit itself by electronics connected to the wearer.

[Winnie the Pooh]

Just like Iron Man!

[Jedarus]

Except that a bsuit makes you look obese. Iron Man's suit is slim and athletic.
