Maybe they should just melee it? I mean, isn't this mission supposed to be covert?

I say run up and smack the stuff out of it with your guns instead of shooting it.

Kresh specialize in melee combat yo

Alan, throw a frag.
Iso, Gatling.
Ereo, Slug Pistol.
DX, Kinetic.
Also, I suggest you give all of the people some sort of character development.
They're definitely cool, but I can't remember them for what they are, they are just a series of pixels.

I'm trying, I'm trying, there's just not many points where I can have them talking so it's hard to do.

Oh, well good luck :P
I'd suggest maybe delving into their pasts during a mission, like something that triggers an emotion as they fight. e.g (ereo's parents died in a cardboard factory incident, he fights a cardboard alien)

Not even?

Did you not read the backstories a while back?
You send an underwater pod containing the ship's most elite team of soldiers. A team that is a joint operation from the Iconians, Humans, Kalakarg, and Lacamptu, a team that has taken the Kresh on many times, a team that has fought in the Toraai border wars, and a team that I am actually giving some character development, goddamnit. The team is called Phalanx Squad.



BACKSTORIES:

ALAN SHEPARD
Race: Human
An average soldier at the military academy on Corbrillious, he was assigned to be in a standard squad of troopers. But, during the Iconian wars when he was stationed there, he proved himself way above what he had shown earlier during a siege by sneak attacking a whole battalion of Iconian troopers, and coming out unscathed. Since then he has always been in only the best squads, but is still a bit xenophobic towards Iconians.


ISO
Race: Iconian
He was a teenager during the Iconian wars who lived on a colony world that was always susceptible to a Human attack. One day, his homeworld was attacked and he found himself in his basement armory getting his trusty hunting rifle. When he came back outside, he found a small squad of Iconian shock troopers held up and in cover behind his car. Without having to think, he shot the remaining evil humans. After the battle, he received a shiny badge and decided to join the military.


EREO
Race: Kalakarg
Ereo was just an average student at the Combat Medicine Academy on Prometheus XII, until a surprise Kresh attack left him at the top of the class. Since then he has devoted his life to science, coming up with several new scientific and medical defenses, techniques, and cures that have been put to great use against the extragalactic menace. He also knows how to handle himself in a shootout, but prefers to keep the actual fighters alive than to do the dangerous work himself.


DX716
Race: Lacamptu
DX716 (Stands for Unit DX7, 16 years from birth) was birthed from facility H6-4. He led a basic lacamptu life until he hit his 12 anniversary of his creation. Since he was tired of his education facility's brutal principal, he and some friends sneaked aboard a freighter headed for Kalakagria, and saw the true horror of the kresh, when three kresh leviathans attacked the planet. He watched as the human and kalakarg forces decimated the kresh, but not without losses. He then made his choice to one day fight at the side of the people who fought at the battle.

Did you not read the backstories a while back?
I did, but it's hard to associate those stories with those people, if yall knows what I'm saiyan.
For example, I am not going to remember Alan Shepherd  came out unscathed from a battle with Iconian Troopers.
Nobody will, I think. Though, I guess Ting and Qwepir know their characters well :o


Well I think the back stories are fine but I also think a little more dialog would not hurt.But it's your story,Tingalz.


You fire at the crawler as it slides back down the hole.
Science gun hits but uncrits, doing only 5 damage, the kinetic rifle misses and has 2/3 shots before reload.


It's underground now
Gatling laser is charged and ready to fire.

Listen for rumbling. Charge anything that should be. Be posed to jump as to dodge the crawler.


Suddenly, a bunch of dirt and grass is kicked up as something headed towards you, obviously the crawler, starts tearing up the bushes.

: We should get out of here, now!

I realize I'm late, and I haven't read here in a while, but I'm glad you have characters with stories instead of nameless marines who can die and be forgotten about.
