The common term 'redline' is the highest point an engine can operate without causing damage to the engine.

However, I found another definition that could also apply...

  • The practice of editing a technical drawing (since edits were traditionally done in red) or a document compared by a computer software programme (particularly legal documents) where deleted content is often indicated by red underlined text.

    From doing the other two missions, I'd say it's definitely the first definition. >_<

    Yea it's the first definition, the intruders causing havoc with the operator's equipment.

    This was a good mission, lots of action with accelerated exile fights and the intruders facing off but it would have been nice to see them fight (put them on infinite health so no-one would watch until one died). Oh and first time been hit with the decelerator virus was scary, thought they would then swarm in to finish you off.

    From the mission point of view it was fine, even good, considering the meeting with Carlyne, the attackable Halborn, the Decelerator, and the prelude to the showdown at the end.

    From the Zion perspective, I still hate the way Zion's being portrayed as gulliable enough to automatically cast their lot with Carlyne as they have and that they gave Halborn the shaft just for the Oracle, especially since the only justification for that is the little bit Niobe's said in the Live Event Threead - "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be here right now." That's just kind of weak, as far as I'm concerned, and it paints most Zionites as hopeless idealists feeling entirely indebted to the Oracle even when she has not asked for assistance of any kind and there is an alternative which could lead to a positive end to the war.

    /shrug I don't like the main character development (or lack thereof, at least in a logical sense) but they're not mine, and I can't do anything with them. This does, however, mean that my character's viewpoints are less acknowledged because they do not coincide with the mainstream Zion beliefs, and that bugs me to an extent.

    I just took it out, and sadly no decel bit, though after second thoughts, people could just keep redoing the mission to get all the bits they wanted, though the Operator could have 'recognised' I took down the Decelerator and put one in my invent when I completed the mission and remove that function when it is Archived.

    Either way, I had fun soloing that big ball of flashy dots ^^

    Its not that he has infinate health, he just doesn't recieve the damage the system chat says he does but he lacks any defence at all SMILEY

    I decided trying to fight Halborn would be a bad idea! :O

    This mission started with Carlyne asking to be told if we find Halborn, because he hasn't been able to! Tyndall checks with Roland to see if this is okay, while we keep looking for Halborn on our own!! Eventually we find him but he's very angry so I ran away and called Tyndall SMILEY She said it was okay to tell Carlyne, and the next thing you know they are both in the same room about to fight!!! The operator said we had to leave because of all the override code stuff the whole hovercraft was in danger! O_o Wow they are powerful!

    I wonder who won the fight?
