Important Stretch Goal Thoughts -- Pets?

But why if tere are already combat pets planned.(Pokemon like stuff)

 

I love the idea of pets!

 

Thats why i think this vanity pets are nonsense^^

 

That's exactly what I don't want Starbound to have : yet another pokemon system

Don't take it personnally, I'm just quoting you because I happened to see your message over the impressive tide here.

I haven't anything against taming creatures, but I think that would be dumb to only allow your "pet" to weaken a pet you manna tame. I don't see why I wouldn't be able to blow its face with a club and when its health is low enough, I'd tame it. That doesn't sound that dumb, yeah ?

Also, I don't wanna see Starbound too much pet-oriented. I think they should just be small additions with cool feats but no evolutions/training please.

 

Why not make $1mill stretch goal Beta ?

 

And thats exactly why there are more Yay! then Nay! because the people just didnt read properly. They just see oooooooh pets i vote Yay!

No Pets, More Playable Content!

 

I like most of those ideas except for the first three. I think fishing can be replaced by just going underwater and getting anything you want. New monster types would just be useless imho because monsters are generated by a random algorithm and if I remember correctly, the devs have suggested adding content like new races periodically over future updates after release. There will be enough time to play around with the races already included. The random events, new dungeon, traps an bosses would make it extremely interesting but I think most of those would be very heavily coded. I would really love to see random events!!!

 

Well it's not really my point. My point was that for every dude like you who doesn't want this particular feature, two do. Another feature that you want, I don't. So I don't see it as that bad that some players will enjoy the game that bit more with pets.

 

Since i don't know what their plans are for Mechs other than you beam one down from your ship and it runs on suit engergy, i can't say whether or not this idea was planned already or not. But how about a more robust mech system? Like mining mechs that can dig more blocks at a time and faster. Maybe even have a larger inventory for ore to bring more back in one haul. Construction mechs that can build certain structures or even have a much larger build radius. Obviously battle mechs, but how about the ability to outfit them almost akin to armored core. By that i mean different generators, arms, legs, weaponry... Give them specialized functions. Though one thing i'd say would be no mining or terrain manipulation (explosions don't demolish) in a battle mech, as that would defeat the purpose of ever stepping out of one. Also limited movement or some other downside that makes it an option rather than a necessity.

Mind you this is just after five or so minutes of thought. it's not a well rounded idea, but more enticing than vanity pets i think.

 

Yes i love the idea! its just fun knowing you got a little partner by your side the whole step of the way
and if not pets.. why not have the stretch goal being...

Hover Boards!

 

No, you should start all alone and naked, and work to get friends, including pets... because nobody likes naked people in the beginning.

 

I'd love starter pets!

I'd also love a kind of special skill/boost/equip system for pets; the same way we player characters can equip technologies, I think it'd be cool if we could equip some special skills to our pets. Like HP-draining, auto-revive after 1 minute, etc.

 

But there are already useful pets planned

 

but the pet system is playable content...

 

Herobrine was never that scary, it was so easy to tell that he was fake. The endermen were interesting though, and they were based heavily upon Herobrine and the Slenderman mythos.

 

Only if they have lemur-bats.

 

I'd like to have a pet that won't take part in combat and/or die. Even better if it came with a little maintenance system that gives items or something.

 

Best idea i saw in here was the discovering of crushsides from fallen starships for discovering. Maybe some alien artefakts for hiher technolohies inside would be great. Something like this.

 

Slenderman is a creepy pasta not a mythos
