Talk:Meteor Slime/@comment-28138495-20170330233042

I would think meteor slimes would be more like meteors, like the following logic I have thought up. When meteor slimes spawn, they do so falling from the sky (at an angle?). If a meteor slime is in the range of an explosion caused by a different slime (such as from a boom or another meteor slime) it would cause the meteor slime to rocket forth or upward in a slight arc. It doesn't explode randomly at all, but anytime a meteor slime is subjected to large amounts of kinetic force it will explode once it is subjected to extreme force once more. It is a cousin of the boom slime as it uses a similar process to explode, but its cells cannot generate the vibrations required to cause an explosion on its own. Instead its cells rapidly convert large amounts of kinetic force it has recently received, which is released once it receives another large amount of kinetic force shortly after or the cellular vibration will dissipate. Meteor plorts have to be refined into two separate parts before they can used industrially as both they and meteor slimes are comprised of a mixture of very durable rock and ore that is easily capable of surviving extreme pressure and temperature such as reentry into an abnormally dense atmosphere with little to no damage to itself. This combined with it being a more stable and more destructive form of explosive causes it to be more expensive despite its currently near-suicidal use as an outer hull for ships if they crash land after rentry.
