    <the reapers are a feared space-faring race that kill everything they come across and destroy planets. Not many people have been able to say they survived a reaper encounter. In fact only one person who has returned has actually been able to divulge a report about it.>

    Reaper fighters
    these sleek half moon shaped starfighters are feared by any armada. They are armed with anti matter missles that can take down a starcruiser in seconds and vaccuum Bombs that remove the atmosphere from the struck area. They can out manuever most fighters not guided by state of the art robots.

    Reaper destroyers
    these large ships have a large assortments of anti matter missles, vacuum bombs and a large on the bottom that is usually used for decimating planets. It can destroy a mountain in milliseconds.

    Reaver worms
    These large worms space faring worms have been theorized to be caught and tortured by the reapers into eating or crushing anything that moves. They wear large harnesses that cover there whole body except for their undercarraige and teeth. the harness has large protrusions on it to mangle anything the worm doesn't crush. the worms are approximately as large as a space ship.

    Reaper infantry
    these robotic mechs can stomp over most terrain with ease and carry on them a vacuum laser and a gun turret to mop up what isn't imploded or suffucated.
    <.>
    <..>
    <...>
    Reaper terra formers
    The reaper terraformers are large glopeular spacecraft with a large sattalite looking thing on the bottom. After all the other reaper types eliminate the resistence this space craft will come and simply place its sattelite into the planets atmosphere and send out a shockwave wich ruptures the stratosphere and completely destroys the planet leaving it with no air or life leaving it a large hunk of flat stone floating in space. it has relitively no defense and relys on the other reaper infantry to keep it safe.

    I like the idea, and also how you chose to word it. nice.
    They almost sound like the Grox, if you have ever played Spore.

    looks like our friend doctor Williams has uncovered another reaver enemy type!

    I like how you wrote the topic.
    The reapers kinda reminded me of Mass Effect.

    The idea of a species that seeks to search and destroy seems pretty cool, you would have to keep your bases well defended and built ready for any incoming attacks.
    There could be a reaper spawn planet in every solar system (or something), taking out the whole planet (which includes the queen) will make your solar system reaper free, but there
    will still be attacks from other enemy factions.

    They aint no god damn SOLAR SYSTEMS!
    also the idea seems to have been completely ripped from mass effect

    Zailiner Over 9000!!!

    I was just using it as an example.

    I don't know where you got the idea that reapers are ripped from ME.
    They're pretty much just ye' ol aliens that want to destroy everything.

    2 different thing, reaper and reaver doesn't have same name...Lets keep it as reaver not the reaper so ppl is not going to complain that "OH U STOLE THIS IDEA IMMA GOING SUE UR COMPANY SUCKERS!" to many and tons and tons ppl who can be easily mad...unless we have the developer form mass effect person step in and deiced "Yea we agree u can steal this and make millions dollars off of it". <.<

    im sorry you guys i had no idea:eek: ....ive never played mass effect......:(
     
  9. Doctor Whooves

    Doctor Whooves Starship Captain

    Mass effect can't really complain about anything if the name would be used, since the name "Reaper" isn't likely to be "property of Bioware", or whatever. Then there's the fact that reaper is an actual word, so there's basically no way that the name itself belongs to them. So unless a monster in Starbound with the same name has pretty much identical features to ME's reapers, you could probably use it without any repercussions.

    Zaba35 Phantasmal Quasar

    mabie change the name a little a little misleading? but still a fun cool idea!
     
  17. Banzai¥

    Banzai¥ Void-Bound Voyager

    If you're lacking originality in the name you can always call them, 'Reavers.' :geek:
    We need more references to Firefly/Serenity anyways; this could be that game!
