Fauna UpDate What do You think?

As we can read here:
https://trello.com/b/9Kg5Jn6g/starmade-roadmap
Fauna UpDate is on the way. I heared somewhere before that mobs are going to be procedurally generated.
What do You think about it?
I would love if we could hunt animals for some kinds of resources.

Looks like they are upgrading the current system in preparation for a full overhaul later. Next release version will probably have dynamic trees that can grow along with non X shaped flora.

Farming was mentioned a while ago, which should be interesting to see. On the subject of Procedural mobs I'm definitely looking forward to, it will definitely make the planets feel more fleshed out and station exploration more exciting. I just hope that we get something worthwhile for interacting with them and there's a way to prevent their spawning (ie factioning a station), stop them from being too much of a pest.

In roadmap floara is planed but fauna is in progress planed for SM 0.2.0

Hunt animals on my newest titan ship from orbit. Overkilling an overkill.

This was literally the first thing I thought of when fauna was being talked about. Hopefully we can interact with it in a more meaningful way than nuking them from orbit, lol

 

[EricBlank]

Sniping them from orbit is a legitimate mode of hunting dangerous game, when all you need is the resources/to exterminate them all. :P

Whole game needs more activities, ways to interact...

When we get fauna I'm totally making a mobile pet shop with automated cage systems and trapping devices! :D I will hopefuly put it in the Community Content section of the forum for everyone to enjoy (and maybe make a business on a server!)

Edit: And hopefuly make working mech dropships with mechs for fighting them in, if they have some sort of friction by then... Otherwise I will just use push effects. :p

 

[Shadar]

I'm looking forward to the fauna update, should add a bit more excitement to the game.

 

[kiddan]

Who's gonna make a faun-bomb? :p Little capsules full of pests to launch at enemy planets!

 

[EricBlank]

Now you're thinking like a terrorist! :P

Would be good enough for me if I could breed and tame some useful ones as guard dogs to supplement the Dave clones.

Kiddan, I believe that's called biological terrorism. Or bio-warfare, depending on the intended target and legitimacy of your government.

I had plans to build boarding containers that would shove hundreds of hostile mobs into an enemy homebase, making it virtually inaccessible without tearing it apart with nuclear weapons.

Technically bio-warfare is the use of non chemical agents such as virus's

This is anim-warfare

I think it'll be great. I'd like them to provide some sort of useful resource, though. Maybe food? For NPC crewmembers, not players. That'd be annoying.

 

[Aynslei]

As long as I can keep an obscene number of space spiders around I will be happy.
Wouldn't want to get lost in space without a spider bro.

Hopefully atmospheres blocking salvage beams and weapons comes with this update... Otherwise most of the new fauna and (possibly) flora won't be there for long :\

Aw, so we can't snipe them from orbit? Oh well, I guess we can still hover using Stop FX! At least this will encourage ground combat on planets instead of bombing enemy planets and running away. :p Mech Warriors are going to be a big thing soon(tm) very soon...

Edit: Missed the "Hopefully" part... Oopsie!

You can still bomb them and run away, you just need a bomber small enough to take into the atmosphere. As for your mech warriors... What happens if I shoot out a leg? You just lost.

Depends on how it's implemented. Lets not get into a food debate right now.
