space entitites

[masternerdguy]

I actually like this idea.
I like this idea a lot.

There's two ways to do this: Have the jellies be ordinary ho hum particles like one mines everyday...

Or add them as a an actual NPC ship that's neutral to everything, voiceless, slow, et cetera... You couldn't animate them, but they could be similar to a volvox or some other colonial microorganism-based creature.

There's NPCs in the real game that don't show up on your replist - The Unknown Faction, Quintain's Men, Kress's Men, and the corrupt navies and such. Making this "faction" not show up would be easy enough.

This approach would make mining and researching more interesting.
Rather than chasing random particles, you'd be chasing a "ship" as it were.
They wouldn't be very big at all, obviously, and the engines could either be nonexistent or a little trail of sparklies - or something that looked like tentacles on a jellyfish. (At this point, I'm just randomly rambling, I know little about this area of modding, and I'll be quiet.)

yeah, thats what i am getting at. However, a volvox sits around and does nothing but photosynthesize, this will be an actual animal that moves around and responds to its environment.

Well, Volvox does move, in a swirling tumbly way.
But yes, these would have to move, though slowly.

Make a dockable gas giant, and make possible fly on the atmosphere, and do some giant floating whales, for the hunt.

Oh my yes, giant space whales!!!!!!

From the Discovery Wiki Page for the TAZ:

811: Mal discovers "Scrubbies" in the remote Barrier system of Baffin. CRI confirms Mal's Scrubby catch as being superior to other alien organisms for terraforming purposes.

If you ask nice, We'll sell you a "breeding school" from our new Farms in Baffin.

Holy Thud.. you mean we actually have them and I didn't know it?

Show me! I thought it was just my fevered Pineal up to now.

If you've seen any hand-sized fish-like organisms in Baffin, or even the babies, I'd sure like a tour, mate.

Tell me when!

(This is even better than Seeing the Fnords!!!)

Seeing the what? You don't seem to have finished your sentence there.

Could have both types of space entities. Little flying things you chase down... Maybe the size of a missile... And floaters who you 'mine'. Two distinct organisms, from different areas of Sirius, maybe.

Classic:laugh:

Anyway, I like this idea a lot!
In case this is implementable, go for it!

I like the three options.
Little flying things you chase down
Floaters who you 'mine'
And the other sort. The SORT that mine YOU.!
(And no money bribes. It more like "OH SHIVER ME TIMBERS RUN AWAY IT'S THAT THING!!!")

Seek fun and you shall find it. Seek stuff to Q_Q about and you'll find that, too. I choose to have fun.
