    Why would they remove the pet system? It's a very amazing feature and very appealing in a game with randomly generated monsters.

    Edit: Wtf did I even say? Am I in the wrong thread? xD

    I feel that having a starter pet kind of takes away from the large, explorable universe feel. Pets are a privilege, not a right.=P

    I feel that a better stretch goal would be something along the lines of more circuitry than you were originally planning =D

    If not 'now', they'll release Pets later, in patch. :3
     
  7. That is already IN-GAME for Armor, don't you worry. About weapons, no Idea.

    A lot of people are frugal on the topic cause they either care about the games release more than about adding new ideas that'll further delay the release, they didn't know catching monsters was already a feature or they feel like making a request to the Starbound team is too much(cause of respect towards the team) considering that they already got a crapload of cool ideas realized in the game.
    I think the topic is still a great opportunity for the community to brainstorm ideas and for the Starbound to evaluate which idea might be most profitable for everyone in the end. Throwing ideas out there shouldn't be confound with unrealistic demands/expectations of whiners after all.

    A 33% voting for "no" is quite the big number already, big enough to show that there's a clearly visible objection to the idea or some aspects of the idea at least.
    I too was also allured to vote yes at first simply cause after 2 great stretch goals and the information I've seen from the game, I'm probably already going to be satisfied when I play the game no matter what the next stretch goal is.

    Yes, pretty much but each weapon or armour would only have a couple of variations.

    My take, which I will keep simple since nearly every opinion in the rainbow has been thoroughly voiced in the last 64 pages:

    Pets, yes.

    Starter pets, yes, but optional.

    Capturing monsters and animals to use as pets, breeding/splicing in desired characteristics to create something personal and memorable, hell yes.

    It seems to me that adding in a pet breeding system plays directly into the games many strengths and existing systems, while also allowing the sort of emergent gameplay that is, IMHO, why all these fans are here and talking in the first place.

    Fishing would be awesome. I'm a little surprised it's not already a feature. I guess fishing with a rod and tackle is a little silly while you have an arsenal you can just blow the fish out of the water.
     
  14. If there's going to be pets in this game, there is one thing I've always wanted!

    Pets grow bigger or evolve into something better. I would really love to have some kind of pet *for example* a puppy, and as the player goes further into the game that puppy is now an adult dog that protects us :)

    There's a lot that could be done with adding pets. Would be a waste to just have them sit by our side!

    This is a thread about cosmetical pets you choose on the start of the game or something like this.
    EDit: ah okay the false thread :D
     
  18. As I said, that may be already in-game with ARMOR Sir, still it's not 100% confirmed thing if it will be at launch, but I saw several times the same armor with different colors.

    I'm pretty sure stretch goals are things that will be included at launch. That's usually how these things work. Please correct me if otherwise.

    Ahem... well, yes, there is that... >.>

    I'll still err on the side of the established pattern.
