Hey I've been thinking since you are a space explorer, I would like to think that you meet some not so advance civilizations. and I'm curious to see how people would think they would react. example You land on a medieval technology planet I would like to think that the people either freak out seeing you with your advance technology (flash light) or even maybe start worshipping you as a god lol. Or even make it so you have to hide your superior technology so the planet doesn't freak out, Which makes it cooler and a good reason not to laser everything. Gives you a good reason to keep a trusty Sword and shield Edit* Another idea just came to me, what if not only could you scare them but also wow them, so maybe instead of them being afraid of the flashlight they might even want to know more about it, so instead they come closer.
Oh man that would be cool, like running around in a medieval village with a flashlight scaring them and such. Neat idea!
thanks, I'm hoping that they do implement something like this, lets just hope they don't end up forming an angry mob haha
ok first. Second, I really like this idea, it'll give you a sense of how far tech has gone with these newer civilizations.
Lol thanks I've made another post in a different thread but how interesting would it be if you could get them to be amazed by your technology, start worshipping you like a god even guess it could even help with quests, such as since your a "god" they would ask you to do things? also lol to the post
It could get to the point where after doing all the things that they'd ask you to do, they'd truly believe you're a god, and then you can tell them to do things for you. "As your heavenly Deity, descended from the clouds above, I ask that you bring me X amount of (x ore) by (x time), only then will you be given a new piece of technology from the planes of the gods."
That would be epic xD but I'm not sure if the Devs would let us manipulate the people in such a mean way!
it's all business and politics. If we'd appear on another planet whose tech is less than ours, we'd do the same thing.
Hoping that it will be spore-style as in my Ideal Starbound thread; you come in and other civilizations have already formed (procedurally generated ofc) and then you have to conquer the planet and the galaxy.
Why conquer insted of befriend and create allies to beat "the enemy that made you flee your homeworld"? (from the FAQ's). LOL, what if you could sign treaties if you left their planet untouched they would gather resources that you can pick up, and you have the option to say "NOT ENOUGH! if you dont gather more on the next harvest I will pass judgment upon this earth! (penguins tremble)
I'd really love to see more advanced AI. A fully aware AI that tries to either kill, or befriend based on how much they know of the universe, how much they know of you, and how they act when something new encroaches them. Of course, most hostilities will have to be created by the player in that case. There is always the potential threat of the animal species of the planet in question, though.
