    I bet it is for the Glitch since they have farms. They could use to plow fields!

    Florans would make bacon out of it. Apex would want to experiment on it. It's far too messy for the Hylotl. It's most likely a Human pet.

    Well yeah....but then again, Florans would make bacon out of anything organic....you're not safe from them unless you're glitch or novakid. My bet is that the floran pet will be something they can't eat.

    What in bloody hell would glitch do with farms? Maybe battery/energy/oil farms....those I could understand....but sure as hell not any kind of farm that a pig would be useful in. My bet is that the Glitch pet will be as they are, robotic.

    Glitch farms could produce renewable stuff like Pig-grease or sunflower-hydraullics-oil. Maybe Aloe-polish for shiny and smooth steel casings.Quite ecological robots...

    Well, pig manure is a great fertilizer. Plus, Glitch settlements do have a barn with a monster inside, for whatever reason. So they practice animal husbandry. Maybe they are just made to do so by the hivemind since they were supposed to simulate behaviors of other societies throughout the ages. A Glitch made self aware might see that as unnecessary, but then the piglet might've been there since before then, so it didn't see fit to do away with the swine...

    I for one would like to see different pets as part of the character creation.

    Also, please, find us a way to put creatures back in a capture pod without having to get it killed. Me poor heart aches every time I have to blow up my cute lizard... ;-;

    I can see simulated behaviors but still......they wouldn't have lasted if they didn't learn to look after their own needs first. It would be very odd indeed to have a glitch start with a pig pet though I like the idea of pet selection at the character creation screen.....not sure if they plan to do that though.

    Now pets captured via combat(monsters) may need to be KIA to get back in the pod but ship pets(ie the ones that don't follow you around, like the cat) can be just recaptured by throwing the pod at them I believe.

    Wait, are pets race specific? That would be kinda lame if they are..

    Aww! :love:


    I doubt it, but certain races will start with certain pets. (Unless plans changed)
    Also I'm guessing the secret black kitty becomes a proper pet, rather than there being two separate black cats.

    Well damn, that was the next thing I was going to add to my mod!

    Still, I like the pig. Looks disgustingly adorable, almost enough that I'd want to cut him up and eat it as my next breakfast!
