Pretty sure it was mostly a random suggestion but then it became something that could actually fit in the game and be really cool

#

I mean, sharks are cool, space is cool, why not both

#

You can have space or sharks not both

Okey im removing space from the game

but they already said they're removing space

#

"Jump Sharks", "Sharks" or "Sharks! In!" not very compelling. I think someone has to do overtime so we can get both 😉

queen fable
#

You sharkers just don't listen. Gotta push and push, making it all worse.

#

Now there's no space

So it's becoming sharknautica?

#

and finally they'll remove shark and re-introduce jump, so it all comes full circle, back to jump ship

oh wait

they're baby sharks

that the Atirans are taking care of!

#

until they grow into adult space sharks!

A space shark would never shoot me in the back. Or teleport directly in front of me so that I shoot them in the back repeatedly

Maybe if we whine long enough - I mean - Ask very nicely, we can get a cosmetic skin for buddy that looks like a miniature left shark

do it

#

Wouldn’t take too long to make right?

#

And it would be a great DLC!

queen fable
#

It could be a free update and I'd still play an older version of the game

upbeat oxide
#

Although…the DLC means u don’t have to get it…

#

Which means…

#

It could satisfy both of us

pulsar cairn
#

Or if it's just optional, just never wear it. Like if you don't like the pumpkin helmet.

#

And the rest of us can have a shark party

#

Mowerman just doesn't want it to exist, that is his strange goal

queen fable
#

It is only strange to people who want to make the game worse with such nonsense as space sharks

flint mantle
#

A robotic cookie cutter shark thing, as long as it isn't forced to be too exactly shark like could be cool.

Keep telling urself that

But the fact that this thread continues to grow, and new people continue to find and support it, tells me otherwise

#

He’s intentionally ragebaiting

#

He actually doesn’t really care either way lol

#

He js likes the drama

#

And I take the bait occasionally bc why not

queen fable
#

I have prevoiusly said I think they're a terrible idea

#

I said I'm mostly just poking the bear

#

But that I hate the idea of them for this game

silk trout
#

I mean this is a discussion forum so ppl can disagree and think "no maybe it's not a good idea to have space sharks"
I don't think it's too crazy, not more silly than pizza machine in space. Maybe they won't be enemies but we can reference them in a fun way somehow

queen fable
#

You mean like the hammerhead?

#

That made none of the gremlins happy?

upbeat oxide
#

We just need a paint scheme or smth now

#

And another shark reference somewhere

#

Also

I pitched that if we ever do collectible decorations like posters then we can have:

#

if that won't be enough then we might have to disappoint the hardcore shark crowd who want to fight and ride them sadge

X Files would absolutely get as goofy as space sharks

And wow, quickly checked the last debates. Some people are way too serious with this thing 😵‍💫
I mean, space shark are mostly a meme and trolling. Serious, full thrust trolling, don't get me wrong, but still trolling.
We have our lovely hater (of devil's advocate) mowerman, trolling the trolls. And this is just a community committed troll.

But at no point it is "hurting the game quality"
Or I have been meta bamboozled taking all the debates too seriously 😵‍💫

silk trout
#

That's what we've heard players ask for so we're discussing it, how feasible is it

queen fable
#

I said from the get go, that a shark decal on ships akin to ww2 fighter planes would be a great idea

#

Any sharks in space though? Awful

#

Hell I played with pb and told him the same thing

upbeat oxide
#

DO ITTTTTT

upbeat oxide
#

THIS WE ALSO NEED

#

like just a random line

#

"have you heard the rumors about space sharks going around?"

"Yeah, kinda freaky don't you think?"

"Yeah. Do you think they're out there?"

"Who knows..."

upbeat oxide
#

like it used to be funny and now it's lowkey js a pain to talk abt it bc of the backlash from...he who needn't be named

flint mantle
# queen fable Any sharks in space though? Awful

What if they were like a robotic cookie cutter shark type thing. Obviously, not too exactly shark like, but something that latches on and removes shields, components, causes fires, etc? I personally think that could be petty cool.

upbeat oxide
flint mantle
#

I definitely agree if they are organic. That is just lame.

upbeat oxide
#

how about this

#

@silk trout

#

a small

#

and I mean small

#

easter egg

#

where if you go out of bounds, and stay out of bounds, there's a 1 in like 1,000 or 10,000 chance that a random creature shows up that destroys the ship...but only the point that it would have been destroyed anyway...and that creature...though difficult to see...is a space shark?

#

it'd be like 5-10 frames

#

almost impossible to see unless you record it and go back frame by frame

#

Shark face on the torpedoes wouldn't be good, I don't think.

Could even be the lead up to the possible aliens they've hinted at

#

But not have them be sharks

flint mantle
queen fable
#

A semi aquatic species like the squ'ith from helldivers

flint mantle
#

And a water world with highly aggressive sharks would be fun.

queen fable
#

Fun to read on a datapad

#

Don't need to see sharks in space or on foot

#

An easter egg to all this nonsense would be ok

flint mantle
#

And maybe some other sea creatures too.

#

In water, NOT space.

queen fable
#

A water world like kamino would be cool to fly over. They have massive beasts. But they stay in the water

flint mantle
#

Yes. And maybe have to do some stuff there. Maybe we could even swim?

#

Have a Kamino style map.

queen fable
#

We would land in a city sticking out of the water. Not go in

flint mantle
#

Maybe some of it in underwater tubes, at least. Jedi Survivor style.

I like decorating. Posters, ship decal, plushies. 😁

I still think giant space creatures should be a thing. Can you land on them, maybe, explore them, also maybe, farm them for resources, why not? Do they have to be sharks, not at all. Don't let your shark prejudice kill something that should exist. But I mean... if it moves like a shark, looks like a shark and eats your ship like a shark... people would call it a shark. I don't know what Atiran's would call it.

flint mantle
split knoll
#

I think something similar to that would be cool, but definitely would have to have it's own style to it

#

that way it's not a copy paste planet

split knoll
#

and maybe in the dark abyss when looking out the glass windows of the structure, you can just faintly see something shark like?

flint mantle
#

And maybe a few other monstrous looking things

#

Possibly you have to fight one or two for some reason??

split knoll
#

yeah, if and only if they went the organic route

Okay, so, hear me out;

Diablo has had a secret cow level. To do this, you have to collect certain things, or do certain actions, and then the level itself opens to where you kill cows and then a Cow King at the end when all of the regular cows are dead... and theres constant "there is no cow level" loading screens.. and then you get cosmetics and unique gear for completing it.

There should be a secret shark level. Loading screens that say there is no shark level. Ship cosmetics that make you look like a shark. 🤣

anyway space sharks

digital wyvern
#

Star Wars has giant space whales with tentacles that utilize hyperspace

pulsar cairn
#

Sharks are water creatures, of course

#

And Space Sharks are space creatures

#

Like how ships are water-borne vessels

#

And Space Ships are ships in Space

#

Dashing amidst the space sharks. In Space

A ship that looked like a water ship would be silly too

pulsar cairn
#

Yeah, my futuristic space game with teleporters, evil robots and galaxy spanning pineapples must remain grounded in biological necessities like sharks only existing in water.

#

Hey, space ships float in water when they touch back down in real life.

#

Just means that space ships are ships

Space fauna! Stellaris has whales, amoeba, worms, crystals and more. With the latest console update you can finally catch and clone them to use them in your fleet. 🥰

I mean they found life on Mars; most definitely Mars sharks.

#

Everything about the idea of space sharks is silly

flint mantle
#

A robot one could make sense. Humans like creating things that look like animals. A shark like mining bot wouldn't be unlikely. Also, being the droids were made by humans, it's not unlikely that they would have similar ideas to humans.

split knoll
#

Unless of course there is just a really rare encounter with a space shark that is organic that has survived the purge of living organisms and has like a bunch of battle scars

#

But that would have to have a lot more lore on why and how it survived

oak forge
#

I'm thinking more like the Voltron legendary defender Weblum. it's basically a space whale that eats space debris but makes some pretty interesting things du to its biology. Big, dangerous, and valuable. indestructible from a player stand point but worth accessing and harvesting for materials. Get inside and fight it's immune system or maybe other living things it has eaten.

#

Maybe it ate a ship with parts?

split knoll
#

Maybe, but they will really have to build a bunch of lore around it.

On the other hand, space sharks that are robotic could fit into the lore very easily

pulsar cairn
#

Space sharks were an extant space species in some sectors of the galaxy

#

They have been on a slow decline in population for the last several million years, and were nearing extinction before the Legion attacked

#

The Legion created robotic space sharks in mimicry of the OG space sharks, and made them evil robot space sharks

#

Hidden easter egg mission to find the last of the space sharks

#

And feed it some pineapple pizza

#

Lore done

#

But what did the originally eat? Were there living space fish already? Idk, I just like mechanical sharks better

#

I feel like we need more mechanical creatures if anything

pulsar cairn
#

The original space sharks were extremely large filter feeders, eating naturally occuring hydrogen supplemented by elements and minerals from small rocky objects

#

Like basking sharks, flying through space mouth wide open to scrounge

#

Their internal biology operated on chemosynthesis and not digestion

split knoll
#

Either way, we need space sharks

#

They could totally implement both ideas if they want to

#

I do think something that attaches to the haul and drains materia and stuff would be cool, instead of just one variant of the thing that sends bots to ransack the ship

#

If it ends up looking like a robotic space cookie cutter shark, SWEET

pulsar cairn
#

It wants to latch on to your engine exhausts and scavenge the delicious delicious gasses for its own chemosynthesis

#

Slowing you down by a very large amount and potentially overheating your engine and causing fires if you don't destroy the robo space shark quickly enough

pulsar cairn
#

This assumes the Legion copied the chemosynthetic stuff to power the fuel cell inside the robo sharks

Is this game gonna be some kind of Aeronautica

You are very much so incorrect in that statement
