Of course most natural polymers dont fall in the "plastic like" polymers, it's the synthetic polymers that are made to be "plastic like" or just plastic,

 

Welcome to Let's Discuss Polymers and Artificial Arms with your hosts Alpha and Otter and Umbrakiin and Joe maybe? I dunno my eyes kinda glazed over half-way through.

 

For future reference, I'm an asshole.

(Mostly because I'm an otter)

 

Well, okay then

 

*cogugh coUGH HACK WHEEZE...*
Gah...

 

1. The polymers are fairly sturdy, and will last longer than you.
2. All it really takes is detaching the poly-muscle from the nerve extender and the bone, and replacing it with a new one. Most manufacturers mass-produce humanoid muscles. Otherwise it's special-order.
3. All it takes is careful hands and the right kind of screwdriver, unless you have one of those expensive commercial models where the bastards bolt the muscles to the skeleton. Yes we still use screws in the future shut up
4. Polymers are far stronger than normal muscles, and don't tire out.

 

Awesome, thanks. Now I know what's in Sirius' suitcase besides extra ammo and an extra mask.

 

Oh yes, and

INTEGRATED SENSORS.

On models for those ages ten and up (it really messes with neurosignals otherwise) the muscles have damage, heat, pressure, and other sensors built inside. These all connect through said nerve extender, which is otherwise used for controlling the muscles. Most models will produce normal pain, but any street technician can easily modify the on-board I/O to shunt the pain to any percentage.

 

That is just amazingly cool.
I'd probably have the pain turned down a tad for Sirius, as he'd probably need it that way.

 

Really, guys? We're really discussing this like it's a thing? Why do I feel like one of you has spent WAYYYYY to much time thinking about how these work?

 

It was kind of neccesary. Sirius actually has replacement arms, and he'd need them adapted to his former line of "work". Didn't want to give him something non-compliant, either.[DOUBLEPOST=1432749257][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, it's good to have things worked out in case you're asked something about said thing, which is how the discussion started.

 

Ahh, well.....I can understand that. Anyway, why is it that the RP sped up again, then proceeded to slow back down? Why can't it be active all the time?

 

Lack of ideas/events, schedules, people waiting on other people...
Iunno.

 

Mostly this.
It happens all the time in any RP - activity is variable. I'm staff on another text-based RP, and it shot up in activity recently, after some time where there weren't many posts.

 

Are you referring to the Nexus RP? Also, if you need more staff, I may be of assistance.

 

No, I'm staff in this one.

 

As I said before, I don't post much because I have no idea what we're trying to achieve or work towards, so I kinda just wait for other people to do stuff so I can work off them

 

Cheery place ehks. Just reading the introduction..........Cheery.

 

Oh dude I still play with my old bionicles. Fun times![DOUBLEPOST=1432751800][/DOUBLEPOST]I guess bionicles had a lot more details than I was aware of. There are different races?

 

hee

Toa, Matoran, Turaga, Vortixx, Skadki, Makuta...
there's a lot.
