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. <.> <..> <..- <unathorized access> <authorities have been notified> <good bye dr. williams> <Program end>
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.
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
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". <.<
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.
thank you, would anybody like to try to sprite them? i can do a decent job with characters but suck at larger things.
well that is true, but I don't want the first game came out and be sue already at the minutes counted.
If you're lacking originality in the name you can always call them, 'Reavers.' We need more references to Firefly/Serenity anyways; this could be that game!
damn, i guess i'll have to change the name of one of my suggestions, didn't know there was already a reaper
