Talk:GN Tau Particles

They're not "Imperfect" versions
I dont know how many how many times I have to do this,but the GN Drive Tau's particles arent imperfect versions.The 300 years later sourcebook states that they're the same infact,the reason on why they look and have different effects is because the the particles are at different wavelengths,alot how normal light has different wavelengths and can be seen in different colors.

In the case of the red Tau particles from S1,they were optimized for beam potency,because the Tau Drives don't make as many particles as the original nor do they possess the energy availability that the Originals due,as a result in order for their suits to operate more effectively their wavelengths were set to be for beam potency,giving them better beam power per particle amount,this is in contrast with the green wavelength which is optimized for compression.The poisoning on contact with beam weapons is a side effect of the beam potency wavelength.Put it simply,the wavelength was there by choice.

The Tau Drive themselves are imperfect,not the particles.The wavelength was one that was needed because of Tau Drives's energy limitation concern,not because the particles themselves were naturally imperfect.In fact theoretically,a Tau Drive using the green wavelength can be made and used though it will be very inefficient.

Alot of details on the orange wavelength Tau particles in S2 is unknown at this point,though we know they're not poisonous like the S1 Tau Drive particles.Improvement in the actual Drive performance;such as stated in the HG Gadessa manual,may have allowed them to use a more safer option..-SonicSP 20:51, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Tau Drives Were Not Made First
First of all,since it pops us once in awhile,I'll go ahead and say that the info where the Tau Drives was created first was false,nor was it because the Tau Drives were unsafe.It was a rumor and word of mouth thing that started a long time ago even before S2 ran I think and its sad that it pops up again occasionally.Its in the history when I saw this article and I deleted it.

It contradicts the 300 Years Later book,which states the particles produced are the same with different variable wavelength options available and the Tau Drive arent even harmful in general,they're only harmful in beam form.

There's more that I can elaborate on,but frankly I'm tired of the this issue popping up again once in awhile,so I'll just leave it at that.SonicSP 20:51, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
