Hey guys, this is my second forum post and first idea, so be easy on me With starter pets being funded daily and the notion that we're going to be able to tame a vast majority of the alien monsters we find out on our adventures; I think it makes perfect sense to have a pet trading system, where players can trade any pets or monsters they have tamed. A scenario could play out where someone sees an awesome creature they love but the owner doesn't remember where he got it from. The owner could however trade for one (or multiple) pets/monsters from the other player. With the crazy amount of monsters that are going to be in the game and randomised, this could create a great little economy and meta game within Starbound. What do you guys think.
I think it may already be possible. They've mentioned that when they're not deployed to your party, they're stored inside an item that represents them (And when he said that, Tiy facepalmed at how much it sounded like Pokémon), so I imagine that the ability to trade them or sell them is already there
I Assume when trading is added to the game since It looks it won't be right at launch, a Pokemon trade stuff would be interesting :B
Trading looks like it's in And I can't find the thread by Tiy but on some IRC (more recent than the one linked in the forums) chat he talked about how when you capture an animal you get an object that contains them and you can store on your ship, and add them to your party there. Putting that together, I'm pretty sure they can be traded.
Heya, that's a mockup, it's not already in-game, it's just an image they made for what they are aiming to be in the final version. About Trading I remember read in AMA about he aiming to add it after launch, he said about how about at first we need to trade based in Trust. I can't find the concrete link right now, but when he said that Instant linked me about there isn't Trading in launch.
Hmm... reminds me of my pokemon days... LolZ I'll tradeZ u mah Zigzagoon fo yourz Black Charazrd! lolol Gtfo kid, and keep your level 13 zigzagoon.
Haha yeah, I wanted to avoid mentioning Pokemon in my original post but that's the general idea. And if that's correct and animals are kept as their own item when they're not walking around with you then great! I'm sure there will be ways to trade them with my friend. That's awesome.
I think that this would be pretty cool, I also think that it would be extremely cool if we could breed new creatures into existence, but that might be hard to do.
That sounds awesome! I think I would probably find a planet and setup a Monster Trading Outpost.. Yes a planet for monster trading woop! woop!
The Idea in general sounds basic. Basic is good. Though if an animal is loyal to you, it may not want to be traded and might bite the other guy's beard off.
