not sure if this is the right thread for this but whatever my idea is individual and groups of assassins would come after you if you piss off the wrong people, like anyone with alot of money/empires or pissing off the assassins themselves there would be 3 types of assassins 1. rabble: these are less organized and more random in what they have 2. guilds: there would be various guilds who would send more organized (smiler uniforms and weapons) 3. special: these would be unique assassins who are preset and very powerful, some are solo groups some are the elite of a guild assassins would possibly have various interactions, like rarely some may give up and possibly recruited(only a select few special assassins would be recruit-able) or they may retreat, maybe have a mix of units in the groups? like a sniper, a melee, a gunslinger different assassins guilds would have different specialty and themes possible themes: fire: these assassins have fire proof clothes, use flamethrowers and incendiary weapons honor-bound: these assassins will only attack if it will be fair , so they wont attack when your already in a fight or seriously injured, and they try to fight you one on one when possible stealth: these assassins are well, proper assassins, they use long range weapons,poison and stealth equipment to get the drop on you, possibly sending fake sidequest messages to the player outher elemental ones: same as fire but adjusted to use ice, electricity, or other types of equipment morals: some would only come after you if you did alot of crimes and immoral acts or pissed off a specific empire guilds would also each have a base, where you could pay them to call off there men, possibly one you could join and give you re-doable sidequests to assassinate randomly generated targets i know if this idea gets put in alot would be left out, but what do you guys think?
Interesting idea. I am for everything that adds content to the game so I'm going to say yes to this. Don't know how joining a guild would be or if it would be difficult to program, but the assassin part seems cool. For example, Avians could send assassins on you if you attack their temples or villages.
I think that we need someone to hunt evil players in space since we were promised orbital bombardment and weapons of mass destuction.
i would imagin if you did somthing like that they would skip the assasins and go full on war with you, sending there armys instead or possibly the special assasins
Not a bad idea at all, would be interesting to have something to fear other then direct visible threats.
oh and maybe have have the one you can join reference the dark brotherhood from elderscrolls like there leaders are called the blackhole hand or they ask "what is the color of night" and the answer could be various jokes depending on what planet there base is. "green" "there is no night here you idiot"
Hmm, I like the assassins idea. This would make some interesting vanity gear as well (think, Assassin's Creed and Shinobi). Still, I would like the idea of encountering a neutral assassin during your travels and paying that assassin a fee for each time he/she trumps another assassin's attempt at your life. For example, you travel across the world and find your assassin friend standing above the tombstone or dead sprite of another assassin and "sharing the loot" of the killed assassin, for an extra fee (on top of the one for saving your life). Otherwise, if you feel adventurous, you could become the assassin of assassins, yourself
I think it should be more of a Blood Moon style event instead of an "Oh, you pissed off some evil dude and now he wants you out of the way." Also, I don't even know if that would be possible to program with Starbound's engine.
I'm talking about the retaliation, not the assassins in general. I have no idea of the capabilities, because it's a brand new engine.
