Where do the terms "Sprout Gun" and "Lateral Thrusting System" (which can also be used to go backwards) come from? I can't find any reference to them. -- SvdB 13:20, 27 Oct 2004 (CEST)

Made up by creative wikipedians (which is bad) or maybe from in game dialogue? I really don't know. Hmm, I'm being very unhelpful. The funny thing is, I've always heard them described that way. Mmrnmhrm 17:29, 27 Oct 2004 (CEST)

Made up is what I am afraid of. It's not from the game dialog, and it's not from the PC manual or resource guide. (I always check those, very easy to do with a Linux prompt and 'grep'). -- SvdB 00:48, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)

It's taken from the SC2 Starship Databank image. -Fadookie 04:12, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)

That image is fan-created; there is no corresponding artwork in the "official" SC2 content.

The 3DO videos, on the other hand, say:

Supox Blade:  releases a stream of toxic globules.  Features advanced maneuvering capabilities

If there's anything in there that you think you can use, go nuts. I have no good ideas for it.

Are you positive? It certainly isn't in the UQM Content, but that's different than the SC2 PC content. Since the UQM code is derived from the 3DO version which contained animated ships instead of SC1-style databank images, said images would not be included in UQM.

I can't say, since I don't have a copy of SC2 PC, but I believe that that image is from the game. -Fadookie 05:19, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)
