Did we ever figure out how Thanix missiles were supposed to work?

The original Thanix worked upon the prinicple of liquified alloy being used as a projectile. Based upon its effectiveness against barriers, it is presumable that the advantage lies within the fact that at high speeds, liquid only appears to remain stable, when in fact it is an amalgamation of tiny seperate droplets, (the reason people can urinate on electric wiring without being shocked).

These droplets would, therefore, be expected to impact a given area numerous times in extremely rapid succession. As is evident in contemporary anti-armor study, this effect would allow the initial impacts to destabilize armor and shields while subsequent drops burst through the weakened material.

In a self-contained missile platform, such a device would probably work much like a contemporary shape charge: upon impact the super-heated fluid would burst forward via a propelant within the missile, driving the projectilant forward in a finely tuned spear, strikely a given point with tremendous force. This would make use of the same principle of the standard Thanix, but unlike the beam varient, more of the projectilant can be expected to remain molten, allowing heat energy to futher weaken the target.

Arn't you guys glad you have a local ballistician and horde of genius chinchillas to answer your questions?

Hmm. Interesting.

In the short of it, the Thanix appears to be a futuristic tandem shape charge.

Look up how the FGM-148 Javelin missile system works. Then add element zero, 1.3% light speed, (or much faster for Reapers), and multiply the tandem effect to suit.

Nonsense.  One must always be on guard on Monster Island, lest one feel Mother Nature's full, hateful wrath.

If there was one thing my grandpa passed on from WWII, North Africa it was this: You'd be amazed how fast you can dig a trench through rock hard soil when you're being bombarded by 88mm artillery shells. Oh, wait a minute...

No, it was: Never get into a fist fight with a drunk Australian.

Or was it: Always thread your boots like they taught you in training when you go to bed at night. The Arabs will think you a German and slit your throat, otherwise.

Hmm, yeah I'd say the Australian one was the bit most emphasized for self-preservation.

I noticed it when he nearly got K.O.ed during the Reaper Invasion on Earth... right when the dream music first shows up. The way he was looking was less of a, "Darn, they nearly got me." and more of a, "That was weird... what was that?".

We always thought our grandpa was crazy, jumping out of an airplane and all. What do I do after school? Do the exact same thing.

Oh, gud morning from Europe everybody!

Morning Lex0r

Lulz. I go out for a run and this is it? Must be a special day.

Admittedly, Rose is more than enough. 

[Dam0299]

After several hours of reading from page one and finally ending up here I must say, Awesome bunch of people on these forums, Interested to see how things turn out.

Saren
didn't come to the conclusion that the reapers would let some of his
poeple live on if he worked with them because Sovereign told him so, but
rather because he convinced himself that Sovereign told him that.

One
of the better arguments for the literal endings is that a power that
controls the reapers is forshadowed by the Prothean VI. But what if it's
the other way around? Shepard finds the Guardian because Shepard
expects one to be there.

Good point. Particularly about Saren. Although to me there has to be some level of suggestion there, given that both Saren and TIM (possibly?) find themselves playing into the goals of the reapers...

Okay man... What am I supposed to be looking at here? I don't see the significance of the file?

Ask
TSA he's the one who found it, and look at his post about it. Also 
some of use think that the Gurdian file name, is a test, but again ask
TSA.

The point was, we know the "child" is throughout referred to as "Guardian" in the game files (and a couple of the devs have accidentally called it this).
So it's somewhat interesting that the destroy ending is referred to as "GuardianEnd" in the game files, including in new files added since the EC.

"We are ME3 Multiplayer Bugs: We do not want you to play this game; we especially do not want you to play with your friends. And when you finally manage to, we'll disconnect you and blame it on the EA Server."

Yeah, it's a serious dealbreaker. There are on the one hand more and more Origin friends that can't joing my hosted game and me not being able to join theirs. And then there are these disconnects that keep kicking players.

I wouldn't mind if the problem were on my side. I'd try to fix it, but apparently a lot of other people have started getting this problem, and there's no really new reply coming from EA/Bioware. I'm trying not to be a whiny brat, but this sucks.

[RavenEyry]

Well, due to ... stuff ... I've only just been able to properly look over EC and I'm wondering what the general thoughts about IT have been over the last few weeks. I still think it's a perfectly valid interpretation (and apparently there was a comment from Bioware implying both indoc and face value interpretations were intended), though there won't be DLC expanding on it.

Not all in one sitting of course , but yes. Mostly due to my interest in the Indoc theory.

Huh.

I came to a similar conclusion, and I am NOT a Ballistician.

Interesting.

To expand upon that, the idea I had proposed was that the missile is accelerated to relativistic speeds and upon striking the target, a shaped charge liquifies a metallic core, exploding and superheating it, spraying it across the surface of the target like, well an extremely wet spitwad. 

To expand upon the idea, I would also add a secondary charge, encased perhaps in an extremely hard metallic case, designed to be pushed into the target by the shaped charge, the sprayed metals softening up the enemy, the hard metallic case then fires the secondary charge, liquifying another metallic core and causing a similar effect on the inside of the target.

But, well I could be completely talking out of my ass here so...

General consensus says; Yes valid interpretation.

General hope says: No Ending DLC, but post ending can expand the story, potentially via flashback.

Hello guys, I am back. As far as I could see it, since I went to sleep. The topic was thermal clips and Americaw, **** yeaw.
Poor Canadians BTW.

Thermal clips... give every group of soldiers a Cain, and we're done with the Reapers.

Haha, some things never change I guess. Even when you go to sleep. But heck, I was away for maybe 10 hours, and the thread progressed so slowly. =/

What does the monocle say? Anything speculative?

[UltimateTobi]

Probably chased by the Reapers.

Will Bioware livestream their "Mass Effect: Past, Present and Future" at SDCC? If yes can you give me a link?
