Uber-Tuff DoomSender Anti-Capital Ship Pistol [and others]
« on: July 12, 2005, 11:41:11 pm »
I want this as an easter egg, or something to make people laugh... including random appearances of things like a Super Star Destroyer, or a Borg Cube, or somthing..... (imagine, a player's flying along, and borg cube suddenly appears, and sends out the standard 'We are the Borg. Resistance is futile." message, shoots the player up, and then suddenly a fleet of federation ships shows up, and starts attacking them.. the player escapes, tells everyone, "OMG OMG! I just escaped the BORG! Come, look in System Wolf 359!" People show up there, and there's nothing. No sign of anything... (except maybe a single starfleet phaser, or combadge)

Yeah, I like messing with people.

Oh, and about the UTDSACP... I'd like to make it rediculously huge..... :-D
(Since it'd be an easter egg, balancing it isn't a problem... it'd be under our control.)

So, thoughts? (I also want 'guest' appearance of things like the Swordfish from Cowboy beebop, and other anime ships. Most non-hostile, and all controlled by people I trust not to abuse any sort of 'fun' things I add to them ;) )

These are all good ideas... Unfortunately, they would also require obtaining permission from their respective copyright holders to use them.  Unlikely, given this is a commercial product not particularly related to what they are doing.  Nontheless, it's gonna be a pain to do anyways.

Nevertheless, I'd love to pick a fight with a Borg Cube. :-)

Not really. Only if it's a part of the game.... It *could* be an 'unofficial mod' that happens to be applied.... people modify games all the time, to include things like that.... so long as it's not a 'feature' of the game... We're fine. (I've done research.)

However if we market the game with, "Random Borg battles!" in the feature list... Paramount will come down on our asses like white on rice on a paperplate in a snow storm.
