Dark Matter vs. Antimatter Thread - Tiberium Secrets mod for C&C3: Tiberium Wars

Just thought I share a (personal) discovery.

Found on Sea and Sky's "Astronomy Reference Guide"

---

Antimatter
"Matter consisting of particles with charges opposite that of ordinary matter. In antimatter, protons have a negative charge while electrons have a positive charge."

= So as a weapon it would result in vaporization.

---

Dark Matter
"A term used to describe matter in the universe that cannot be seen, but can be detected by its gravitational effects on other bodies."

= As a weapon might this result in objects being crushed or torn apart, correct?

mmmm... perhaps the darkmatter beams can work on a mechanic in which each beam consists out of six smaller beams, and those smaller beams all connect only at the impact points. the result is that the object gets teared open in a hexagon shape, ignoring all material strengt and density. Dark matter therefore does equal damage to every object, may it be infantry, building, tanks or even tiberium.

Dark matter may be stolen from a scrin gravity stabilizers data, making it so that the gravity vortex generated by dark energy can dislodge from the field is is created in.

perhaps one corrupted section of ASI may try to make a Antiberium (as in antimatter of tiberium)(every matter has its antimatter, but Hydrogen is the most common (its about the only one ever made)), which is the most potent version of AM in existence (when M and AM collides, they revert back to protons) as it generates protons on itself. then D51 or some other team of non-aliens tries to stop it. and then it gets used to blow up da Scrin homeworld by sending it into the Threshold.

any thoughts?

I myself am indifferent in terms of the story aspect for the most part. I don't see why such an explanation wouldn't work though. A mission trying to steal from the Scrin would be interesting for sure, but what would make the ASI section corrupted? It wants to destroy Tiberium just like any none corrupted section as you described it.

In terms of the weapon system, that sure seems reasonable for a unit's attack, although there would hopefully be other forms of weaponized dark matter that we will see. What might limit it's [the dark matter's] range?

Gravity is always limited by distance, and as such, beam versions of DM can only travel a certain range, decreasing in power as they go, and ammunition will just do it on impact, causing the iron it impacted to "fold" around it, making huge rends in a tank.

Also, argument i often try to protect, is that ASI has a total lack of imagination ( as that is formed by small bits of random memories colliding and fusing with eachother, which is hard when all your memories are stuck in a file form) and as such, it needs intel, some base to build on, and then it will simply pick away all flaws, turning it into a superior new version. its Hardcoded rules only stop it from taking tech that works on tiberium, and it even has a firewall that will destroy the intel if it gets in him.

Technology that works on Tiberium or with Tiberium? As ASIM is trying to help/ save humanity through it's own vision, it would want technology that that is capable of eliminating it no? Or maybe a story/ lore aspect is that ASIM is ignoring Tiberium for the most part, instead intent on putting humanity in a new "earth", in cyberspace? Just some food for thought.

with, really. it simply cannot make anything that uses tiberium as a fuel, or as a ammunition. all its processing allows is making tech that destroys it, and study it to destroy it (pretty much the damn same as GDI). And it sees that Tib is destroying earth, and if earth get destroyed, humanity goes with it, so it needs to destroy it. also, ASI cannot move its own core, so leaving earth is a no-go.
