Yes.

>implying that i dont build dorfen, magma powered spaceships

I dunno. How many types of tubes could I make?

no.

pirates don't have fortresses, silly.

The Space Pirates from the Metroid series? Fuck yes, I would.

>Glee'tak has been killed by a bounty hunter.

Space Pirates: Dorfs with lasers

>>8008199

Just one. All round, about three feet in diameter. But they come in clear, concrete, and interweaving mesh varieties.

>>8008199

You can make all kinds of tubes!
You can make metal tubes, wooden tubes, green glass tubes, soap tubes, obsidian tubes...
But they all have to have a minimum diameter 1 m across which coincidentally is how big The Hunter is when she is in Morph Ball Mode.

TUUUUBE FORTRESS

>>8008255

I would play it so hard

>>8008257
Ha!

>A VILE FORCE OF DARKNES HAS ARRIVED

>>8008288
Salvage all the TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES you can!

LMAO 2 GIZKA!

2 GIZKA!!!

>>8008303
FUCK!

How did I not see that before?

Damn Nobles.

My goddamn dukeridley keeps making demands for phazon crafts.

We're in the middle of a forest! Where am I supposed to find phazon?!

Also, everything has a gun. EVERYTHING

I love Space Pirates so goddamn much.

>>8008368
DIG FOR EEEEET

THE HUNTER IS IMMUNE TO MAGMA. FUCK WHAT DO I DO?

>>8008411
NOT THE THICK MAGMA. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE THICK MAGMA? DID YOU FORGET TO DIG YOUR ENTRANCE JUST ABOVE THE THICK LAYER AGAIN?

>>8008368
At least you're on the right planet type.

Ship some in from off map.

I ACCIDENTALLY DIRECTED MAGMA FLOW INTO PHAZON MINE
I THINK THE LAVA IS NOW SENTIENT
WHAT DO????

>>8008506
BUILD MORE TUUUUBES!

>>8008506
INJECT IT INTO OURSELVES!!

FUCK SHE JUST KILLED MY CHAMPION SHE'S GETTING CLOSER FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>8008506

Seal the whole place up, leave it for the bounty hunter to find. Also build your fort so that said sealed area is the only way (aside from a door requiring an upgrade past said door) into the second half of your base so she'll have to go through there.

>>8008506
That's pretty bad. See if you can route it somewhere else. Seal everything off.

>>8008506
OH GOD NOW IT'S KILLING EVERYONE
MY PIRATES ARE TRAPPED INSIDE
THE ONLY EXIT LEFT IS AN ICE DOOR AND THEY ONLY HAVE WAVEBEAM WEAPONS ;_;

>>8008576

ACTIVATE TO SELFDISTRUCT!

>>8008570

Fucking Thardus.

>>8008576
rest in pieces, brave little pirates. Also how do i stop my pirates from bringing back my nobles in irritatingly stronger and more demanding forms?

Glorious Day: Science Team has mutated a rock!

>>8008605
Wait for bounty hunters to appear.

It's funny, if you make a custom race called SPACE PIRATES and renamed lava as phazon, it'd blend seamlessly.

Well, replace the music with a suitable Metroid .mp3, and make BOUNTY HUNTER supermonsters.

Guys. I don't think that was The Hunter.

>>8008641
OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK

>>8008601
>broke all out tubes and science

Oh gawd I lol'd.

This would in fact be the best mod ever. Plenty of flora / fauna to add in. Multiple biomes easily created. Metal modding is a sinch. Prime / Omega at the inside of the Phazon core...

I want this so hard.

I don't think I've ever wanted anything more in my entire life.

>>8008675
FUND IT!

>>8008641
FUCK IT'S MULTIPLYING I CAN'T TELL WHICH PIRATES ARE MINE THERE ARE LIKE NINE FUCKING HUNTERS WHAT THE FUCK

>>8008698
Seconding this. FUND IT.

>>8008699
OPEN THE CRYO FREEZER AND GIVE ALL YOUR SOLDIERS ICE BEAMS OR MISSILES. IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE THE FORT.

>>8008699
Quick, seal off what you can and quarantine everything! Use the lab to science up some heavy weaponry.

>>8008675

Fuck yes I am doing this when the next version comes out.

Hey i found this portal to a "dark" world it's like a poisonous version of my map, What do?

Oh man this idea has potential. Space Pirate Fortress would be godly.

>>8008822
Oh deer sweet Eris... does any think it would be possible to have two maps active at once where they're exactly the same except that one is neutral or good and the other is frighteningly evil?

>>8008822
Hit it with TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES to open it. There's usually some phazon in there, but it's ridiculously dangerous. I wouldn't recommend it without at least 5 Commandos, and you'll need an armor upgrade.

>>8008302
y helo thar new backround...

>>8008179
You're suggesting options that are not "Space Pirate Fortress"? Are you mad?

BUMP FOR MOAR TUUUUUBES

I grinned ear to ear

>>8008179

Bestest mod, ever.

Official concept art.

>>8009201
JEEEETPAAAAAACKS!

>>8009201

A better depiction of it.

>>8009142
that was perfect.

I dunno, I think these new nobles seem pretty awesome.

So please tell me someone is going to make Space Pirate Fortress. I need this game with every fiber of my being.

>>8009264

Then again...

>>8009201
Wouldn't it fly backwards, and shoot towards things that are alive?

PERFECT!

Ah, Science Team. How I love them.

At least you can bring back some of your champions this time around by strapping on more lasers.

>>8009287

Hunter problem? What Hunter problem?

>>8009232
>>8009215
>>8009214
>>8009201

>>8009201
Too silly. I can completely see the space pirates do this now.

Both the pirates and the metroids have suffere badass decay over time. Now they are pansies. Still brilliant though.

/v/ really does have the best mspaint comics. Why doesn't /tg/ have any of this hilarity?

>>8009319
We're too busy getting shit done.

>>8009319
The last /tg/ comic series, featuring ribbon and rage were trolled to oblivion.

>>8009313

Many people suffer that fate, like Dr. Robotnik and Dr. Wily.

>>8009336

You do realize that that R&R drawfag is still planning to do stuff for /tg/?

>>8009314

>>8009345
Yes, but I don't see any new R&R comics.

>>8009346

I never realized how much of a dick Samus is, even though she lacks one.

>>8009313
I don't know, the Space Pirates still manage to come off as pretty damn dangerous even though they're hilarious. Metroids got hit hard, though.

>>8009375
This is because in every game since Metroid II: Return of Samus they have been pansy ass floating energy-suckers instead of GODDAMN TERRIFYING.

Dread needs to be like Metroid II.

whatthefuckisthis

>>8009313
No, the pirates still get a dangerous vibe for me, because they're quite willing to experiment with anything and everything they find. Sure, as most experimentation goes, a lot of it will end in failure, but that haphazard approach to science means they're often discover, and be quite willing to use, what would otherwise be exceptionally dangerous and powerful weapons and other technology.

>>8009369
Quite frankly they weren't very good. They existed only by exploiting memes. And by pulling the "little girl" card.

>>8009372
Dude.

She destroyed at LEAST two PLANETS. She has a higher killcount than the DEATH STAR.

>>8009400

Well, last I played was Super Metroid, so my info was a bit out of date.

>>8009400
Zebes, SR388, Phaaze, Dark Aether. That's three planets and a parallel dimension. Holy fuck.

>>8009420
In fusion she pulls a Zebes and goes ROUND TWO on the metroid planet. By means of crashing a space station into it, blowing it to tiny space bits. And who knows about the prime series count.

Goblins get replaced by Federation Soldiers.

Every other mega creature gets replaced by named Hunters.

Samus is a beefed up dragon. It powers up whenever it reaches your stockpiles.

Adamantite = Phazon. Add new properties.

Some new shops and skills would deal with cloning vermin and infusing them with various weapons.

Different material doors may be opened only by pirates with certaion weapons.

>>8009425
Her morals and reasons for her work are shoddy too. She commited to complete GENOCIDE on the Metroids just because it was a job. She didn't even have to take the job; she's a bounty hunter and had other options no doubt. She just did so. Cold blooded genocide

>>8009481
Awesome.

ok. Samus will be a new megabeast. Using a human as the base, she would be female only, high damage resistance, doesn't need to breathe, swim innate, building destroyer 2, trap avoid, can open doors.

I'm not sure about weapons though... the new version will have material breath attacks. That might work. Ice of course. Or just make a new material "beam" that boils at a very low temperature so it wont leave any residue.

>>8009481
Hidden Fun Stuff is a randomly chosen leviathon protector creature.

What would elves and humans be?

What about metroids?

>>8009492
That's what happens when you get raised by space bird aliens who think they know everything.

>>8009539
METROIDS = ELEPHANTS

>>8009425
She never really destroys SR388, but blows up Zebes TWICE. So, the count is still accurate.

>>8009492
/r/ing drawfag of a SAMUS HITLER

>>8009481
>Samus is a beefed up dragon. It powers up whenever it reaches your stockpiles.

Shouldn't she be the demons? It only makes sense that Samus is THE most dangerous thing. Also we need to find a way to integrate tuuuuubes and fill them with geemers and shit.

>>8009549

Elephants are so much tamer in the newer versions.

Now, Giant Eagles...

>>8009567
She crashes a space station into SR388 in Fusion and destroys it.

>>8009581

If Adamantite = Phazon, it wouldn't make much sense if she suddendly pops out of a Phazon vein in the center of the planet.

That sounds more like Metroid Prime, doesn't it?

>>8009567
Nah she had the BSL station vape the thing with its autodetonate at the end of Fusion.

Instead of undead in evil areas, darkling versions. So you run into ing and powered up monsters. Fuck yeah

>>8009593
If I recall correctly, the planet doesn't actually blow up, just the space station. Massive environmental damage though.

>>8009599
That's why I said random leviathon beast. Maybe in part determined by location of start. Or perhaps create our own versions.

Leviathin Geemer, anyone?

>>8009545
>by space bird aliens who think they know everything.

They knew a shit ton. Their technology is better than anyone elses, even decades after they seem to have left. The only reasons the ones in Prime even died was because they forsook most of their tech to live as one with the Tallon IV like natives. Also lore-entries found in their ruins in Prime very strongly hint that the Chozo exist across multiple dimensions.

>>8009581

wait, no!

Single entity civilization that sieges.

Toady was gonna allow single entity civs, but not sure which version.

>>8008601
>Current Music: Tubular Bells
I chuckled heartily.

>>8009614
The huge giant explosion says otherwise.

She actually did it specifically to blow up the planet. It wasn't even an accident this time, she did it fully aware and on purpose.

>>8009567
>She never really destroys SR388

She crashes an exploding space station/planet habitation simulation into it, it gets blown up.

>>8009605
GOOD IDEA SPOTTED

>>8009614
Huh. I thought it was vaporized.

Also, LOL 2 GEEMER.

>>8009621
Maybe they did know a lot, but they sure weren't humble about it. Every other Chazo message in Prime was , "WE ARE SO AWESOME LOOK AT ALL OUR AWESOME SHIT".
It's kind of a given that Samus wouldn't think twice about doing what she does if she thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread.

>>8009599
>That sounds more like Metroid Prime, doesn't it?

It does, but we need metroids as a somewhat less rare creature so we can capture them and do science to them...Got it! Replace the purring maggots with Metroids. Instead of capturing them for making milk you do it for making science.

>>8009679

science will then be a reagent to make many things

>>8009679
But I still like to think of them as extremely dangerous; these are the pirates, not samus facing them. Thus my thought that it would be something like an elephant. Not too rare, but crazy dangerous if not careful.

>>8009688

>>8009688

Principally tuuubes.

IF /tg/ GETS ANY SHIT DONE, IT MUST BE THIS.

I always get extremely lost in DF before accomplishing anything and never have the drive to learn what the fuck I'm doing, but this is sounding very interesting.

Are there any monsters that evolve? Because Metroids go through many different forms in their lives.

>>8009679
>>8009698
Combine them. Purring maggots as the cute little tiny baby metroids and elephants are omega metroids or something. Replace all sorts of fun wildlife with the variants.

>>8009688
So what, Space Pirate SCIENCE! is just bottled liquid? We just pop the cork, pour it onto the thing to be SCIENCED!, and then pow?!

I LOVE THIS IDEA.

What would happen when I pour SCIENCE! onto TUBES?!

>>8009742
Technically, it's a non-newtonian fluid. And you don't want to know what happens when you SCIENCE! tubes.

>>8009742
>pour science onto tuuubes

I have no image macro for how much awesome this post flooded my brain with...

>>8009742
SUPER SCIENCE!, obviously.

Tubes are one of the major products of Space Pirate scientific advancement, and in addition produce SCIENCE! in quantities equal to the SCIENCE! they were filled with.

I love each and every one of you.

Never change /tg/.

>>8009742
>>8009760
>>8009761
>>8009767

Ok. We also have to make another metal that can not be mined. Smelting it will require a base metal; let's say iron, and SCIENCE!.

This new metal will be super strong and super valuable. General uses will include:

1. Better weapons
2. Better armor
3. Better TUUUUUUUUUUUUBES!

One word:

Bendezium

OC incomming!

How would artifacts work? Pic related

>>8009909
Use the names of the different alloys from PRIME games. Those can be used as metals.

>>8010097
Exactly the same but with more SCIENCE! involved.
And they'd mostly be weapons, tuuubes, and doors.

>>8010097
Saved

Also going to have to make a new language file.

words to include: TUUUUUUUUUUUUBES, SCIENCE!, METROID(S), non-cruisecontrol variants of aforementioned words.

>>8009738
The maggots as the baby ones from prime maybe... those were used as batteries.

But remember, even a larva metroid is enough to wipe out squads of space pirates in the games. They should start at horribly dangerous and increase from there.

This came from my /x/ folder. I don't know why.

>>8010289
This is perhaps my favorite picture ever.

>>8010311
Your welcome, friend.

>>8010097
You scienced tubes. Tubes have apertures. You did APERTURE SCIENCE.

Do you realize what you've done?

We did what we had to do because we could.

Now wait a minute, I thought in Fusion we just crashed the station where the X were living. Like they were all concentrated in one area and we blew 'em up.

Planets are BIG! How could you crash a space station into a planet and blow the WHOLE planet up? How did the space pirates blow up Zebes for that matter?

>>8010642
For the good of all of us.

Except the ones who are dead.

>>8010659
I've wondered about these things too.

But then I stopped. Maybe the spaceship was full of lots of power bombs that samus never took the time to find?

rolled 21 = 21

This is great. Space pirates are fucking adorable.

>>8010659
Zebes was so heavily artificialized, that blowing it up wasn't really that hard. It also must be a tiny-ass planet.

Metroids need the ability to adopt pirates the way cats can adopt dorfs. Except instead of being a pet and following the dorf, the metroid latches onto their head and counts as a hat.

/dice

If this thread hasn't been archived yet, it should be.

>>8011045
Wouldn't that sorta... murder them horribly?

hmmm

NO FUCK YOU METROID PRIME ECHOES.

I AM NOT FINDING FOURTEEN GODDAMN KEYS JUST FOR YOU.

>>8011372
Haha... Artifact items made = chozo artifacts?

>>8011126
Yes, I imagine it would. But it'd be hilarious.

>>8011478
Sounds good to me then!

The pirates were reminded to not keep them as pets afterall.

This is too awesome for words.

Alchohol. Dorfs need it. What about pirates? What do they have that functions like alchohol to them? TUUUUBES? SCIENCE?

there also has to be an option for enslaving local wildlife and adding GUNS AND SCIENCE

>>8009388
I concur. Metroids invoke more of a "goddammit" in the current games, compared to the past games "oh shit". I remember in corruption going through the area with the metroids to get the seeker missle, knowing I was going to have to fight every one of those metroids I passed. Goddammit.

>>8012472
>GUNS and SCIENCE
And TUUUBES

>>8009441

Its an unwritten rule of metroid: the second time Samus visits any planet, it is destroyed.

>>8012475

Its because they're vulnerable to too many things. In past games, you HAD to freeze and shatter with (several) missiles, or at least spam power bombs in Super. Also, when they suck energy, they kill you FAST.

In the Primes, its not really clear why everyone is so afraid of these things.

>>8012556
It was 80 energy per second drain in the 2D games, right? And that's with the best suits.

Slaves to Ripley purple dragon II: Space Pirate Tubes

There would be three factions, Federation, Pirates and Hunters. Pirates would have to open tubes with their weapons so guns would be pretty common, and ammo would be unlimited for everything but missiles.

There would be swarms of differant new plants and animals, there would be a Chozo (or what ever they're called) faction that would always be destroyed before you start. Maybe even bring the races from Humters in too as other civs and playable races for adventure mode.

Phazon would be like magma but it could animate things and potentially make megabeasts in the middle of your fortress. Some of these monsters could be tamed and used for war.

Alternatively to doors having to be shot to open it could be like normal door opening, but they could only be destroyed by the kind of weapon that matches. Tubes could also be something made in a crafts shop or something and just placed like furniture. This also means they could be used as weapons in emergencies.

>>8012879
>They could be used as weapons

TUUUBES... you have my undivided attention.
