Lets say tour captured by aliens, who want to dicect you. Only your pet pop top knows where you are, but cant communicate it. So its up to your pet to save the day, as you take control of its movements and its attacks! Lets face it: this would be epic. Who didn't want to see pokemon move around dogging at your will? they never did add this, and I was hoping it could be in starbound. plus, you could do just pet controlling for pet vs pet (not my idea, i forget who made it ), foll looking in small areas, or just plain fun. What do you guys think?
So, a sort of follower system where you can give your pets commands? Sounds nice, could be a good set-up for rescue quests!
I think this sounds like it'd be a lot of fun, I'd love to be able to find a fast little sucker then play as him and see if I can't take on a really big guy. Like taking a poptop and seeing if I can't take out a boss with him. This was my first thought also, and it would be quite the quest. "Failed to take out the penguin pirate king? Got captured because of it? No problem! Pet to the rescue!! Don't have a pet? Don't fret! One of the penguin pirate king's minions hasn't been too happy with the king's reign!" The second scenario you take control of the unhappy penguin and only happens when you don't have a pet, but they will be back because they have a new king. And since he was able to take out the old king he's definitely more powerful and you're (probably) gonna have a bigger fight on your hands than last time.
I do think this would be quite fun, maybe have a battery powered accessory (slow burning) that lets you mind control your pet for as long as the battery lasts, then returns the pet to storage automatically.
