The "Space Pirates." While there hasn't been much info on space stations, I think there should be events (on offline only) that your space station is attacked by space pirates, and if you fail to fight them off, you lose a percentage of your currency, like 10% maybe? I think this would be cool, and realistic when you think about it. Now, I know there's been the "light tone" mentioned. I found a way to keep it with this. Not only space pirates raiding btw, but bandits on planets. I'm going to stick to the word "space pirates" when mentioning the ways to maintain the light tone. First Suggestion The Space Pirates are... PENGUINS. Penguins armed with guns and weapons indeed. They need to be somewhat clothed, not only would this be AWESOME, it would be humorous and very light-toned. Also, PLEASE keep stereotype pirates, eyepatches, pirate hats, bandanas, etc. Second Suggestion Instead of a "blood system" do what "Fate" did... Stars as a replacement of blood, so this still signifies that you've damaged them, but doesn't make it "murder" completely. I was thinking when they die, they could turn into a puff of smoke. Or they could fall on-conscious and their bodies fade. Third Suggestion You could have the pirates run out of the screen. Example: They run in one direction and they start fading (in case you decide to chase them) They should turn a color, like white or red or something to signify they've been defeated. I just think space raiders would be cool. Leave feedback, and or like the thread, express more ideas, etc.
We've discuss that yes. they already putting that idea long ago with that. I pretty much ur idea been used ages ago
It's been discussed a lot already, but that doesn't make it a bad idea. Also, I'm pretty sure the term "Space Pirates" is under copyright by Nintendo (they're the antagonists of the Metroids series) so Chucklefish wouldn't be able to call them that.
Oh for gods sake, why is everyone obsessed with penguins?! Get Creative! I swear, when this game is released i will murder the entire penguin race just so i wont see them! Not gonna happen xD but still, i'm sick of penguins and poptops...
I'm not obsessed, it's actually Dr Scoobie's fault... He's trying to turn anything somewhat violent into penguins. I agree it's pretty annoying, but eh... I don't really care. Penguins are cool, and I like cheerful games, but come on... let's have at least bandits without penguins... but if we have to :/ V Example Below V Comes from a suggestion of abandoned space stations with mutants in them...
Btw... uuuuh what? Space Pirates is a very common term and there are a LOT of times it's been used before Nintendo. It's a non-copyrightable name. Nice looking out though
i think you are getting nintendo mixed up with apple. apple are the ones who like to patent everything and then sue someone for saying "an apple a day"
why not have groups of chinchillas that are bandits? I bet the girls going screaming their names and be well known in galaxy.
