Noxter Combat

Hey, I was wondering about the Noxter. I know that the other races have stuff like pulse and beam weapons like phasers, disrupters, and torpedoes, but what about the Noxter? Organic material cant generate energy beams, or torpedoes! How will the Noxter fight? Will they shoot streams of acid? Will they grab ships in their tendrils and crush them? I would like to know.

P.S, can we also please have more info regarding the Iconians and Ciadan?

Well, technically organic material can generate energy beams (and even torpedoes if you use your imagination) in real life, and even in Star Trek, but I think that would be a bit mundane. We already know that many of the Noxter attacks will focus on crushing and melee attacks in general. I also know that there are some virological attacks that will be implemented.

In regard to your second question, perhaps today or tomorrow I will be posting a compillation of all knowledge that I have found/acquired on the Iconians and Ciadans, and even a bit on the Noxter. Hopefully that should be a little helpful.

Why thanks! So, I guess that melee is going to be common in Noxter attacks. However, them shooting acid at enemy vessels would be a good attack too. However, it is good to be hearing more about the three new races, and I am anxiously awaiting the new update!

I like acid, melee, shooting small explosive "tumors" or even eating ships all togeather.

That would be pretty cool. I guess that was a bad idea to say that organic material cannot generate energy beams, because after all, Species 8472 bioships were capable of generating pretty powerful organic based energy beams. However, tumors, and maybe explosive little critters latching onto ship hulls would be really cool attacks.

Oh, well I guess so. The Noxter are just cool period, and I CAN'T WAIT to play as them!

A Noxter that simply grabs a ship and eats it would be awesome, perhaps that could be another way they 'harvest' resources

I think it would be awesome if the digester could just eat any ship, including a borg cube... ( eh I don't really expect this to happen

The new Noxter will also have some energy-based or even conventional weapons, as they will also utilize some technological units

Well, I had always imagined the Noxter being somewhat similar to Krakens and other sea monsters, except in space. Maybe emerging from nebulas  and crushing innocent scouts just passing through. Oh, by the way, is there any sort of sneak peek of Noxter special weapons?

But does this mean that there are not going to be any ingesting based weapons?
