You can have space or sharks not both
we'll take the sharks, thanks.
Okey im removing space from the game
does that mean you'll rebrand to jump sharks?
Another rebrand? "Jump Space Sharks"? "Space Sharks"? "Sharks! In Space!"?
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 😉
You sharkers just don't listen. Gotta push and push, making it all worse.
Now there's no space
Wait until the Jump is gone and it's only Sharks that's left
and then we'll readd ship, so it becomes ship sharks
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
this is the only way it could have ended
It ends with bloody space sharks!
nuh uh
SPACE! SHARKS! IN SPACE!
nuh uh
nuh uh
nuh uh
nuh uh
Better fix your "nuh uh" bot. It's stuck on repeat
nuh uh
Told ya, it's broken
nuh uh
Yuh huh
The space sharks would only be bloody from their meal
Because they are mechanical
We'll take the sharks
BET
Watch keepsake make a small shark simulator for us
maniacal sharks? Why do i like the sound of that? 🤣
No no, mechanical sharks
Maniacal mechanical space sharks?! 🤔
Yes.
That would take up WAAAAAY to much space...
They can put it in the Hammerhead ship
They'll have to be small sharks
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_lanternshark like one of these?
The dwarf lanternshark (Etmopterus perryi) is a species of dogfish shark in the family Etmopteridae and is the smallest shark in the world, reaching a maximum known length of 20 cm (8 in). It is known to be present only on the upper continental slopes off Colombia and Venezuela, at a depth of 283–439 m (928–1,440 ft). This species can be ide...
do they tho?
oh wait
they're baby sharks
that the Atirans are taking care of!
until they grow into adult space sharks!
And replace Buddy as our best friend and space combat companion?
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
why not have both?
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
Honestly this should be a character mod
@leaden marten didn't you get halfway to a Miku mod?
Get this boy in instead:

Need this on Xbox too. 🥰
Omg lol, might have to pick that back up
I totally agree with u man
Wouldn’t take too long to make right?
And it would be a great DLC!
It could be a free update and I'd still play an older version of the game
You’d be missing out 😭
Although…the DLC means u don’t have to get it…
Which means…
It could satisfy both of us
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
It is only strange to people who want to make the game worse with such nonsense as space sharks
Done right, it wouldn't HAVE to be detrimental.
A robotic cookie cutter shark thing, as long as it isn't forced to be too exactly shark like could be cool.
why do you dislike the idea of space sharks so much? I don't care for them one way or the other, just curious
🦈
They're a terrible idea. They don't belong in this game. They're a meme idea that has been been pushed for by like 5 people
5? There are currently over 600 emojis on the original post. Only about 24 are negative. 😂
And that mostly excludes duplicates.
I mean that’s just plain wrong
It's not

To name a few
There's a small handful that actually come here and just hype sharks up within themselves
And there’s a decent number that:
- comment on videos and streams asking about sharks
- talk about it in general chat to get more people interested
- come up with actually good ideas to implement them
- create content on how cool space sharks would be
We want space sharks because we believe they would be an awesome and beneficial addition to the game and add a unique entity that could help provide an advantage over the legion army
The people spamming in streams are just obnoxious when they do that, there's no actual talk in general chat about them because nobody actually cares about them, people come up with random and terrible ideas for them, people make awful AI pictures for them
Hmm
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
This is false lol
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
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
Oh no we’re quite happy with it
We just need a paint scheme or smth now
And another shark reference somewhere
Also
Groove himself had to respond with "aren't you people ever happy" lol
W 5,000 messages!
Oh we’ll be happy, we js need a little more shark
🌌 🦈
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 
Besmirching the good name of the xfiles with space sharks
In reality, Groove is an undercover agent, spreading the space shark cult directly inside keepsake studio 🤣
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 😵💫
That's what we've heard players ask for so we're discussing it, how feasible is it
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
YESSSSSSSS PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
DO ITTTTTT
I mean we might be a bit sad, but at the end of the day it's not our game and we will GLADLY take the poster
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..."
exactly
yeah agreed we gotta turn the heat down a bit
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
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.
I mean this is true
I definitely agree if they are organic. That is just lame.
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
That's just the mines we have already. The bots board and will cause fires and break stuff if you don't deal with them. Torpedoes with a shark face would make way more sense for something that you're going for. And just for clarity, this is not an endorsement.
No, it should be different.
Shark face on the torpedoes wouldn't be good, I don't think.
A better one would be npcs just talking about things being out there, making people disappear and such
I don't want to see them either
Yes. Having space shark RUMORS wouldn't be bad. As long as they stay rumors.
Could even be the lead up to the possible aliens they've hinted at
But not have them be sharks
It would be kind of fun to have some reference to this forum, being it's the longest running forum in the discord. Maybe have a list of all the major people who participated.
A semi aquatic species like the squ'ith from helldivers
And a water world with highly aggressive sharks would be fun.
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
But it would be fun.
And maybe some other sea creatures too.
In water, NOT space.
A water world like kamino would be cool to fly over. They have massive beasts. But they stay in the water
Yes. And maybe have to do some stuff there. Maybe we could even swim?
Have a Kamino style map.
We would land in a city sticking out of the water. Not go in
Maybe some of it in underwater tubes, at least. Jedi Survivor style.
I like decorating. Posters, ship decal, plushies. 😁
Like Fortress Inquisitorius?
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.
Yeah
such a good game
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
Yeah, of course
and maybe in the dark abyss when looking out the glass windows of the structure, you can just faintly see something shark like?
Definitely
And maybe a few other monstrous looking things
Possibly you have to fight one or two for some reason??
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. 🤣
Or fly inside like the leviathans in Everspace 2 👀
YES
this would be SWEET
ONLY if they are in water, NOT space. Sharks are most certainly NOT space creatures.
your stance is interesting
-# nothing wrong with it of course
anyway space sharks
This is science fiction, no?
Star Wars has giant space whales with tentacles that utilize hyperspace
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
One thing about Star Wars I really do not like.
Space sharks should never exist. Period. A robotic thing would make sense, but organic? Uh uh.
But they don't look anything like a ship for water. They aren't even slightly the same. Just because we happen to call them by the same name doesn't justify putting an animal into the game.
A ship that looked like a water ship would be silly too
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
Why wouldn't there be pineapples? Or sharks? Neither grow in space. Evil robots? That might be a reality sometime in the near future. Teleporters... don't make sense realistically, but it's better than an animal in space. Animals need food, water, and oxygen, none of which occur in space.
We haven't even explored .0000000000000001% of the known universe.
We have zero idea whats out there. I guarantee theres space sharks.
I'm 99.999999999999999999% sure there aren't.
You're absolutely out of your mind.
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. 🥰
No, not silly. it's in treasure planet.
It has to be rage bait at this point. 🤣
I mean they found life on Mars; most definitely Mars sharks.
No idea what treasure planet is, but it definitely looks silly in my opinion.
Everything about the idea of space sharks is silly
IF they are organic
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.
Exactly
Especially since the robots plan is to wipe out all life
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
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?
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
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
This must go directly in the jump Space wiki as official lore 🤭
indeed
That is overkill. Poor sharky.
Not bad, we get both types
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
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
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
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
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
Not necessarily.
Doesn't know Treasure Planet. Immediately gets yeeted from chat. 😂
For real.
Treasure Planet is a literal treasure
You are very much so incorrect in that statement
I know, it's what the youngsters call a joke
Haven't seen any muppets either. 😅
They are really meant for kids, but are very suitable for adults that are in a whimsical mood
I need reasons to insert more Tim Curry
Ah lol
He's pretty good in that one psych episode
I think it's the American duos episode
