    Not ingame. It was anounced today in the twitchcon stream, they showed some concept art pictures and renders and what it may do when it gets ingame eventually.

    Space bugs still exist, they just wont spawn under normal situations. Get one of the old default stations to load, (or grab the sector export I made) and you can go hunt some space spiders!

    Solar Winds fucka!
    Oh yea, solar winds... Very effective...
    NO

    Idea of animal that might live in space is not bad... But why whale with fins...

    If u want to make it THAT creative let's make something that will not be grotesque.

    Let's just edit model a little bit to make it not resemble anythign from Earth.

    Call me Ishmael. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on my home planet, I thought I would warp about a little and see the universe...

    This is pretty cool. I do hope, though, that they eventually have a scruffier Elder Space Whale texture. That space whale looks too sleek and shiny, like a new car. Space whales need to be pockmarked by impacts from long millennia spent slowly filtering heavy trace elements from the galactic dust. I would love to be exploring and have to give way for a sector-long whale behemoth.

    There also needs to be a very rare, white one...

    A few things.

    One) They better eat rocks. (perhaps color and ability based on what it has eaten)

    Two) I better be able to collect something along the lines of "spice" from them.

    Three) They should be a threat to any un-prepared ship.

    holy shit yes! space whales! woo!

    Because space lego ships fueled by infinite energy flying in a universe devoid of gravity and subject to fluid dynamics makes sense.

    I love this model, and for propulsion I usually envision it shooting some kind of gas/energy stuff out of those glowing trailing wingtips. I'm a bit pessimistic about this update, though, because I am getting a creeping suspicion that they will just be atmospheric for the time being, and not drop anything unique or be particularly interactable... Cool either way, though.
