Better Pirates/random encounters

[Morra]

I think it would be great to have different pirate ships (please correct me if there already are)

So for example bigger ones that drop more loot (cause i think the small ones drop way too much)

Maybe even different pirate factions, which randomly battle each other, but thats a bit ahead i guess

Also i think there should be some like neutral ships(there already are stations but you cant do shit with them)

which maybe just fly around or trade with you, go mining, etc..

Hope you like the suggestion please don't be to harsh:p

 

[Tilbo]

Really good suggestion

 

[Morra]

Thx:D

Yeah i guess it would add quit some atmosphere to the game

I would love to be in a little Pirate hunter and coming across a battle ship and trying to blow it up and failing it would me epic!

 

[Cool3303]

I challenge yout to deliver awesome pirate designs!

Everything is great except huge battleships because they would be horrifying if spawned multiple times.

 

[Morra]

everybody who has a good design for a pirate ship post it here and then propably we can give the best voted to the devs, would be great!

I think it is a very well done Fighter with 10x more shield than the Isanth and much more weapons even though the size can be compared.I think it also has an appealing look.

I couldnt really test it because I suck as fighter pilot but with good preparation and some luck a whole swarm of Isanths can be taken out.Feel free to use it but dont steal my design.

That one looks really cool, i like it:D

I\'ll post one soon too

keep up the food work guys:D

Extra ships that would be officially in the game would have to look aesthetically pleasing as well, not just simple bare-bones like the one above... But more like the Isanth.

The isanth isn\'t too effecient or anything, but doesn\'t look too bad because it has some hull plating/glass as well.

 

[Morra]

Geez, these scorpionships do pack qiuet a punch, i just got attacked by about 6 of them^^

I didnt even know that pirates use your blueprints, thats kinda horriffic

 

[Will2brown]

Lol just gave pirates held tech Damocles ( if u don\'t know what they are search it up) and am now gettin pawned by like 12 of them at a timeXD

 

[Morra]

What do you think about this one? It actually is the ship im using so propably it should be a bit redesigned but i wanted to hear your guys opinions first it is quit large but should not cause lag problems(i hope)

Of course later there should be the option that those big ships spawn qiuet rare or something

Its stats are:

Mass:1535,0

Lenght: 106m Height: 33m Width: 69m

Power: 21922.5(128117.9e/sec)

Thrust: 2941

Turning(very slow): x 1.1 y 1.2 z 1.1

Shields:79761(3505s/sec 983Blocks)

1 docked turret(pretty simple, should be replaced)

weapons:

-standard Antimatter cannons

-SD-BB missiles

-SD-KB missiles

-D1000 missiles

-Cloakers/Jammers

-Salvage cannons

-powerdrain beam

[Morra]

Ok the image is qiuet big i guess(just zoom out)sry

And btw good job will2brown

 

[Fifthdread]

As far as random encounters go, definitely more varied and different encounters would be awesome. I think it would be cool if you had different senario encounters as well, like pirates attacking an adrift trade vessel. You could come in and save it or leave it. Maybe have ships in distress in other ways also.

 

[popnfrresh]

Maybe setting one \"capitol ship\" and fighters to escort would work also in the options so they only have one larger ship. Im sure this could be set in the server vfg file.

 

[Archer6621]

Would be a great boss pirate, it kinda looks similar to the Isanth ships regarding style.

Maybe at one point there will be quests in the game that allow you to encounter ships like these.

 

[Morra]

Yeah i agree with the big ships.

And good idea with the scenarios

 

[Defentrix]

Damn morra I love that ship of yours! I reckon that would make the best pirate vessel! I looks best :D

 

[Morra]

Thanks man i think it would fit as a pirate ship too, but i should redesign it a bit cause i guess it wont need salvage cannons and stuff..

But id really love to see it in the game as a pirate ship once:D

 

[Morra]

Yeah i guess a quest system with such boss fights and stuff would be REALLY cool!^^
