Title: Pets.
Post by: Richard LeMoon on November 23, 2014, 09:10:43 pm
What are thoughts on pets in the shop? Cosmetic AI animals that run around your ship doing whatever based on their type. Completely cosmetic behavior.

I'd rather have more gameplay content first.

But don't your crew members already qualify as pets? ;D

Actually if one of the animations is lifting a leg on a powder monkey...

Or just incorporate them into the current themes:

Royal: A regal, lazy cat

Traveler: A happy, adventurous dog (I'm thinking some kind of Golden Retriever)  with a bandanna and a love of carpets

Industrial: Monkey with a top hat because duh.

Valentine's Day: A MILLION pirate parrots

Fortress: A goldfish in a bowl with a comically large gun of some sort

Party: A hedgehog with a party hat who makes loops around to check out the cake.

They could make loops on ships in a manner similar to the AI, with set paths to certain parts of the boat

I want a parrot randomly flying around the ship repeating my orders at random in a parrot voice or even have it fly over to the enemy ship when they are close while just being plane annoying to them.

Parrot flying around / sitting on ones shoulder shouting things like "GROUNDLOVER. GROUNDLOVER", "YA BLOODY BASTARD", "SON OF A WHORE. SON OF A WHOOORE [shrieky laughter]", "KAISER IDIOT" [but I don't suppose you'll get the reference].

Yiss.

Yes...absolutely yes...but sadly Muse probably wouldn't depict realistic monkey combat. Just like Hollywood always fails at. Planet of the Apes should have been smellier and had more projectile weaponry!!

You must really love the concept of having a monkey throwing poop.

"Zuka has a pet monkey named Vakari. It likes to sit quietly on his shoulder, then leaps on non Zuka'd people screaming and clawing faces off"
"Vakari doesn't wear a diaper, Zuka has peasants follow him around for Vakari to throw poo at"

Lol I read pests and though of cockroaches clogging up engines and rats nibbling connectors from the wheel to the engines/bloon or the bloon itself. But yeah, cosmetic pets why not.

Had a funny lecture years ago where a teacher was arguing for more realistic monkey depictions in film. "But monkeys are cute!" "No they're feces bags with tails." I was totally in agreement by the end of it. Besides that, imagine all the movies with monkeys where a monkey instead acts or fights realistically. It would be a mix of hilarious and/or ultra violent. Planet of the Apes would be a lot more interesting if you saw monkeys biting faces off or pelting humans with poo.

Ermahgerd, all of my yes.  Parrot is mandatory, a cat or dog as well.  Some kind of sky creature that floats with lifting gas'd be epic.  Monkey'd be nice, and of course: a goldfish in a tank, with the exorbitantly expensive 'mini whale' skin.
