Why do all XM weapons expand in a circle? In all their years of work, how have Niantic and the XM corporations never created a directional XMP or an XM laser?
A good question in my opinion. A quick research to animation of an ultra strike and an xmp weapon indicates that there are differences. But will we see progress in the weaponization? I don't know.
Hmmm may cause the servers do the damage calculation and not your mobile phone. And transfering your position and which xmp is less traffic then transfering an angle. Letting your mobile do the damage calculation would be a possibility to cheat. But a laser where you define a portal in range as target would be fine... imo. 😸
well - coming from another angle - many energies radiate out like that - seismic energy, when you throw a rock into a body of water... so it may be another indication we are works with a wave form type of energy
XMP is short for XM pulse bomb, and US is short for Ultra Strike XM pulse bomb. The bombs can create an XM pulse in order to destroy the XM objects nearby. So, XMP cannot be a directional weapon. We'd better ask: Why can't we throw the bombs with a special XM gun?
So - throwing this out there to get discussion going. if there really is a G+ end coming - what should we do with the Operation Essex Community? How would we archive it? Where would we move to (Forum Boards are the ideal type of structure). Thoughts?
I find myself going back to P.A.Chapeau's "new blog" on the official Ingress Prime's site and I'm getting sadder and sadder as time moves on seeing it was dropped and Niantic gave up on it... like most things they do. I suppose I ASSUMED it would be weekly but by now we would've heard from P.A. about the new Dunraven videos and some more develepments... Some thoughts until the next video comes up
In my theory, it would be too complex for the XM Corporations to make any different XM weapons. But something else may come soon.

ReplyDeleteJoJo Stratton but we can direct energies like that - water, light, even conventional explosives. Why not XM? Or at least, why not yet XM?
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered if an xmp could be set on a timer or equiped with remote detonation.
ReplyDeletePerhaps to direct XM, a link is required. You can't sight up a weapon along a link, yet.
