Phagocytosis

<< < (2/10) > >>

Numsgil:
That sounds reasonable.

Should a cell being ingested be able to fight back?  Maybe cells so eaten are only slowly digested (lose nrg and body).  In the mean time, if it's alive, it can fire shots at you (and would be hard pressed to miss I imagine) tie to you, etc.

That would encourage bots to kill its prey then eat the corpse.

Numsgil:
And along much the same lines, endosymbiosis (bots learning to live and survive inside a larger bot) follows along the same lines.

Of course, the eating cell would have to decide not to eat what's in it's stomach.

That would give a new dimension to MB's, I think. I love it!  ^_^

Ulciscor:
Oh dear God this will complicate things so much.

Maybe a bot in another bot's stomach can resist digestion by having more body points? Maybe it can shoot its way out? Doesn't seem right to me though. Surely when a cell engulfs another cell its bye bye for good? Unless a new defense is introduced for bots...

Symbiosis/parasitism?! Awesome idea. Going to take a lot of thinking through though...

And new and artificial rules! DB will be so complicate in the end, that it will be impossible for a human mind to grasp an entire bot (which is both good and bad depende on who you ask, not much fun in evolving a bot and then you can't decipher what is does., but still interesting.)

I think if we add this, the shoot cabability should be removed! It is very artificial, and I think we can come up with something more in line with reality or what?
