DocSocrates Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Similar to Syndicates, the group of pirates would spawn away from the station. Their mission would be to plunder the station, or steal certain valuable objects. This game-mode would end with the pirates' demise/escape. Since they're space pirates, their equipment would either be makeshift or stolen. They wouldn't carry high-tech weaponry, but they would still be armed. Their space-suits would be weak, but they do the job. Since their objects would not include destroying the station, how they're played would be different than syndicates. This game-mode has probably already been discussed, but I want to bring it back up because my character, Rodger Bizzardly, would be proud of this game-mode.

Grizdale Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 maybe as a custom event like deathsquad? could serve the same role which is to end the round. the upside being since there weaponry would be a lot worse you could have more pirates which would be more fun for everyone rather than the just a chosen few.

DocSocrates Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I can see it being a custom event, but I also think it could be a game-mode. I think, however, it is versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifixs Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've always wanted a "Space Pirates" mode, but more should be done to distinguish it from Nuke Squad. There should be an emphasis on capturing additional crew rather than murdering. Perhaps they could have a special version of RUM that when drunken turns you into a pirate? Also each pirate should have their own individual objective in addition to the main ones, there should be division not coordination. The pirate captain should have better gear and some way to non-lethally "discipline" unruly crew. Their personal objective should be something really ambitious that the rest of the crew might not go along with. Pirate pets, parrot/monkey.

DocSocrates Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Aye, I can see their equipment being very pirate like. Pirate coat, jumper, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamnotDave Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 What a coincidence! I just posted the same idea a couple weeks ago on the event suggestions thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheakhan Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yea, this belongs in the event suggestion thread, or rather would, if it weren't already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysfist101 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 They could be after the gold and silver in the vault as well as an item from each head. (HoS's hat, Captain's spare ID, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
