I'm sorry, deliberately introducing a weak design element is stupid. Windows are useless, so why bother building them? Save time, money and make your base safer: say no to windows. But at least your plan isn't some retarded overcomplex design with worthless nuke failsaes.The Yosemite Bear wrote:I said drones and video equipment, no actual contact with humans and xenos. the glass is tempered (very high stress glass, mainly for containment purpose, say like safety glass that will crack and still hold together, is for containing the xenos (glass is very good against acid), second the concrete lined pressureized room, is also a trick, since if the pressure is equal to or greater outside the glass observation egg, what happens when the xenos do suceed in swimming fast enough to "break their egg? the high pressure implodes it into them.
Get this guys - the only way an alien is getting out is mass incompetence or magic stealth. In that case, you won't trigger the nuke because you either won't know or you'll be dead. Another worthless feature. Compartmenalised mines/incendiaries/other badness is far more useful, because you can use it WITHOUT KILLING EVERYONE.
And yeah, the retarded comics (which are so stupid they melt my fucking eyeballs) have the humans (after having Earth magically conquered due to magic) come up with acid-resistant armour, superguns, force fields, all kinds of shit. It's always stupidity or incompetence that lets them out, like I said - it's just stupid writing in stupid comics based on stupid shit. Yeah, the aliens can take over Earth. What the fuck ever.
