Toroic Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'd like to point out that currently darksight does nothing unless you're wearing mesons, and then it gives nightvision for that many tiles. But with naked eyes it does nothing, so it shouldn't be a major balancing factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would fit in with the sensitive eyes lore... well they do not have meson eyes, but ye get the point. Miner Drask can save a pocket/exosuit etc. Slot on light and just roll with mesons.

HugoLuman Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Alright, I've coded everything I can think of to code for them, so unless I've missed something (and I hope someone can look over the PR and tell me if I have), that leaves just rebalancing the numbers already there and the lore to discuss. WIP lore is here, thoughts? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GR6 ... GLhQZS1qcU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toroic Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Lore is good, I like the theme and such for them. I think they're going to be one of those species that are weaker than humans, similar to greys or kidan, because fire and heat is a common type of damage and I'm not seeing that they'll get a lot of use out of the supercooled internals, though I could be wrong. Still, absolutely fantastic work and you've put a lot of work into coding them as well. Darksight is still pretty much worthless though, as it does nothing without mesons.

Bill Chompski Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Oh man, these are rad. Saving up karma. But a few questions. Are they aquatic, or just subterranean? Because the lore states how they live on ocean planets, underground, but never states if they are aquatic. And what would be AMAZING, is if there was a guide about what "spike movements" mean what, as I noticed this little bit on the lore here "They also have a set of organic “spikes” on their forearms, which are well-nerved and serve to provide touch input to the individual, as well as a way to express emotions in Drask communities". And, another thing, I assume they've never encountered alcohol (Due to lack of crops on Ocean Planets) and food other than fish or perhaps ocean plants, like seaweed? ...oh my god, here's an idea, the alcohol they have is from some weird ocean plant, like coral or seaweed or something. Just fluff stuff, but still cool. And maybe mannerisms? Like, are they more like the Vox ("Kikikiki Voxxie think flesh funny!") or more graceful in their speaking, like the common Skrell ("I really do not approve of these honestly despicable actions you lessers keep trying to do to the...jester, over there. Disposals is not for other beings!"), or even like the Dionas, ("This one requires an assigned profession. This one should note that it is knowledgeable in the skillset of mixing chemical compounds.") as it would help with RPing them. +1,000,000 Take all my +.

HugoLuman Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Where do people keep getting ocean and aquatic from? Their planet is a big ball of rock and ice that may have had a subsurface ocean in the past, but doesn't any longer. As for mannerisms, that too could use some development. Currently I'm thinking on their concept of time, coming from a planet with no seasons and little difference between day and night, where they can live very long lives. They probably find many of the other races frantic and fiery. Personality-wise, I think they could be considered opportunistic, or even greedy. They are eager to spread into space and learn what they can from the space-faring races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperPants Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Where do people keep getting ocean and aquatic from? The comparison of their speech to whalesong, maybe. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoLuman Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Alright, while we wait for the staff to pass judgement on the PR, let's work on the lore some more. FlattestGuitar already pointed out a few issues, and I've added some more today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtimetripod Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 WOO! We are merged! Cannot wait for the next update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoLuman Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 In light of the initial RP, I've got some more stuff to add to the lore. Namely that they really don't like warm food. And we should flesh out the city-states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoLuman Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hey, so I've heard there might be some broken or missing equipment/clothing sprites. If you know of any, please report them on the Git and/or PM me about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
