For reference.

I don't find the animals that bothersome, GT's take care of them . Actually, I wish there was more, perhaps birds that attack or something? I have grown tired watching the same idiotic creature run head first into the hot, sticky, green plasma projected by my GT's. Maybe a animal that can actually fight them and do some damage? Like a dragon or something....

How come so few of us around here realise what plasma actually is? Not hot or sticky...

Plasma is usually extremely hot, not sure if its sticky though.

Of all states of matter, plasma is closest to gas. In fact, it is entirely seperate and typically considered the "fourth" state of matter. There are about sixteen in total.

The defining factor of plasma (that seperates it from gases) is that it is ionised and can conduct electricity.

Supposedly it can only occur at thousands and thousands of *C

Yes, high temperatures are necessary to sustain the ionisation and keep the substance in a plasma state and to prevent it becoming a gas again, but a plasma can technically exist at any temperature, if only for a brief period.

this make me wonder what gas the isdf use for their weapons I mean we see them use it all the time even on plaints that have no atmostsphere and the color "green" nitrogen? maby sulfur are about the only two that they might produce enoth of on sight to use.
if thats the case then thats one more rezen to avoid getting hit with plasma.

I beleive Krypton is a green gas, and cholrine is sort of of yellow green, not sure if a noble gas can beocme plasma though.

Krypton is colourless, and glows white in an electric field.

Scav, what the hell are you on about? Green nitrogen? Nitrogen is colourless. Sulfur is yellow. Cupric Stabbers (or CP-Stabber, a weapon which has become very rare since the CRA days) are green, and, as the name suggests, they're copper based - but I doubt the plasma and ion weapons used by the ISDF and Scions are.

I think sometimes you forget, it's a video game. The weapons are colored the way they are because the designers wanted to make the game more "kid" friendly.

... I'm no scientist, all I knew about plasma that it's a fluid of some kind, that is really hot, weather is gas or liquid, I guess its in between since it conducts electricity.

Except conductors and nonconductors remain as such when in any of the three standard phases of matter...
