Or you could have a suicide rocket propelled vehicle with some Mutant frustrated with the fact the he can never have kids deciding to take a dive into oblivion. There are multiple avenues to take with this approach, all which could prove interesting to play out. Anyone care to elaborate on...

Last time I checked the pipeline was dead. Anyhow, from the hardware standpoint, you can do real time desktop ray tracing right now. The Kentsfield was released on November the 1st, but is still prohibitively expensive, if it's available at all. Even with a Core 2 Duo, with 4GB RAM you can...

I don't know how well versed you gamers are in photo realistic image synthesis but the topic of real-time raytracing has been long present in academic levels. With the soon to arrive (2007.) quad-core processors (Kentsfield), such prestige might slowly begin to be available to desktop gaming...

Ok. So no ICBMs. Doesn't really matter for Tesla's Death Ray to be incorporated in the game. So, basically except for Sander, you people like the idea. Too bad we won't see it in Fallout 3 by Bitchesda.

As E has already pointed out, transistors are not a prerequisite for making an ICBM and the first Russian missiles were quite probably using vacuum tubes, so there's no problem with that. As for the 50s science fiction, as far as I can tell, they had an awful lot of rockets there and the early...

Good thoughts E. Just a few remarks here: While the USofA did not field an ICBM during the fifties, the story was different on the other side of the ocean. In 1957. the Soviet Union had test fired its first ICBM, the R-7 Semyorka rocket. The missile had become operational in 1959. but was...

To Sander and Kharn. I wasn't sure how powerful Tesla's Death Ray was supposed to be, or could it's defensive potential have been used as a tool of aggression as well, so I looked it up. Here's what I found: You can find the whole article here. Here's a bottled down theoretical glimpse at...

For those of you who don't know what the topic title refers to check the article here, and for those of you who know I've a question: 'How do you feel about having a Death Ray device playing a pivotal or somewhat less, but still significant role in a hypothetical Fallout 3 game?' (Proposed...
