Zombies/Skeletons/Ghosts ?

    Since my favorite mobs in any game are the undead, I couldn't help but notice the flying skeleton birds and the skeletal dragon.
    I'm thinking, since there are undead in the game, could there be a possibility of adding zombies/ghosts/skeletons in an update ? Most likely halloween ?

    Zombies are mandatory.
    Don't worry.

    I can think of a slight backstory to explain the zombies. Since the Apex have the highest knowledge of all the races, we could say they experimented on every race and ended up creating zombies during these experiments.
    The skeleton dragon and skeletal birds don't have an explanation so far, so I won't bother coming up with a backstory for the ghosts/skeletons.

    What adding zombies will cause though, is the creation of multiple skins of zombies for Hylotl, humans, apex, florans and avians. Glitch are robots, so I don't know how they'd even become zombies in the first place... Unless some corrupted data, viruses are implemented into their systems by the apex's experiences. Novakids would make absolutely no sense to be zombies/skeletons, but I can see them as ghosts.

    They'd have to be in specific minibiomes (such as ruins/abandoned structures, graveyards and science labs)

    I usually don't like zombies but it'd be interesting to see a town in ruins crawling with zombies of a certain race. Maybe there could be a story behind it.

    EDIT: Maybe the bosses could have destroyed the villages? Or maybe there could be an entirely new zombie boss of some sorts, totally optional but for fun and to progress with this sub - plot?
     
  7. I know, it's just...
    Ugh, why zombies.
    Again.
    And again.
    AND AGAIN ZOMBIES.

    Cuz zombies are awesome. Though your only problem seems to be zombies, how do you feel about skeletons/ghosts ?

  9. Better than zombies I guess!
    Zombies are just... em, I don't really know how to put this.
    I mean I don't have a problem with zombies but I think that Starbound could use something more, maybe something similar... but not exactly zombies?
    Like a failed experiment that spreads through planets or something like that, with some backstory!
    Who knows!

    I wouldn't mind zombies(Because zombies are arguably sci-fi), but I'd prefer not to have skeletons and ghosts. Unless the ghosts are the result of some Apex experimentation into quantum mechanics. In which case I'm okay with quantum monkey ghosts.

    Well, as I said, there's NO explanation behind skeletal birds/dragons yet. So fuck science for ghosts and skeletons.

    I admit, the skeletal dragon annoyed me when I found him. :D

    You guys have seen the mutant Apex right ? The ones with giant tumors on their heads. These could be the first result that will later lead to zombies.

    Zombies can be cool if done right.

    Ah, yes, the "undead dragon". We have dismissed this claim.

    There are no undead. Only hologrammatic guardians in Avian tombs to scare the piss out of intruders.

    How about NO?
    But SB universe is so special and unique, so different from all other universes and games... it could only have
    Sorry. :(

    In SB universe they totally could.

    "Holograms" do not vomit blood on you, nor do they die from being hit by swords/bullets. They do not drop bones either.
    Facts, mah boi. You can't ignore them.

    This.
    Why must there be zombies in EVERYTHING these days?
    Quite honestly, I'm sick and tired of zombies. Please, for the love of god, come up with something new instead of rehashing the newest "fad".

    Because zombies are more fun to kill than sentient aliens.
