And include something that only allows them to be piloted by angsty early teens.

Yeah, and make rolling a pilot more of Traveller - so you can randomly get bitchiness or being quiet sucker before having a mecha to pilot.
Gunner, your pain is just feeding this thread to live on :) Ah, I liked macross 7, where there were definitely horrors and they were beaten through human stupidity and ignorance. Those are our great assets. If horrors win, world ceases to exist. But SR and ED worlds exist, as their creators think. So horrors have not won. |

I don't think FAB vs. wards will be a serious problem for two reasons.
1: FAB is dual natured but it has to follow it's physical body, it's not like guardian vines than can travel astrally a short distance. This means all you have to do is put an environmental seal on the building plus overpressure for any weak spots, and then put the wards inside that. 2: Yeah, if you get a massive structural breach you'll have a problem with the FAB getting into the holes and eating your wards. But if the world is blanketed in FAB and anything capable of astral travel or perception dies within hours or at most a couple of days of going astral, why do you need wards anyway? It's not like there's going to be a big troop of astral Horrors around at that point to ward against. As an aside that's also a weakness in the FAB-III defense, the horrors can have humans build them FAB shelters to hide in from the FAB-III. But the irony of horrors having to build Kaers on earth to stay safe is somewhat amusing. |

1) this thread was rolling merrily off topic, don't dare get it any closer to its topic.
2) the corruptability of FAB3 has been debated. The chance for mutations that lead to different properties is there as well. Making all human life dependant on a bateria not mutating to any great degree is a risky proposition. 3) no one really cares about the answer anymore, just go get a drink. |

But the drinks are fueling the debate!

If the pressure seals are outside the wards, all it takes is one horror to materialize outside the kaer and tear a few holes in them before it dies. It's not like they're depleting their population with suicide attacks or anything...

Yeah, 'cause everyone knows that Horrors are big on selflessly giving their lives for the cause.
