How do you guys play this game? I just got a colony started, and as soon as I try to bring irrigation in from a water-planet, I can't help but accidentally flood the colony with cyber-carp.

lol. 2 Geemer.

The spacelephants keep killing my pirates what do I do?

...fuck, I want this now.

>>8463949

FUCK GUYS I ACCIDENTALLY REROUTED THE MAGMA INTO THE PHAZON MINE. IT'S FUCKING ALIVE NOW AND FUCKING UP EVERYTHING.

this isn't a real thing. Is it?

>>8464027
Sadly not.

But we can dream.

>>8464027
/tg/ does this sometimes. I love it.

If you want to keep the metroids under control, you've to keep them from killing Pirates. If they kill even one, they're untamable. If you do manage to tame one, though, I suggest making a jetpack.

The only fuel it needs is life energy, which you can get by letting it kill things (NOT PIRATES) and you can even siphon the energy off of them to power other things. They're pretty awesome once you get it down.

TUUUUUBES

>>8464117
Did you remember to add steam everywhere? It's a common mistake to forget that when building the fortress.

WHY DOESN'T THIS EXIST

one of my pirates went into a mood and has claimed a bioengineering lab.
He's chanting "Metroidsssss.....TUUUUUUUBES......Phazooon......TUUUUUUUBES"
what could it possibly mean?

>>8463890
this, the fact we could do this so seamlessly. I remember when i streamed Dwarf Fortress for 12 hours straight, 3 days in a row. How many people were surprised it was a real game "I thought that was something made up as a joke on /tg/"

Man... good times.

>>8464180
Oh, man, I need to get on that. Not even enough steam or tube mazes and the Pirates go fucking nuts.

>>8464239
I think he wants some dalerite ore. Make sure he gets a good supply of that and sandstone, and he should be fine.

do these space pirate comics remind anyone else of the dwarves from oglaf?

>>8464200

There was a thread about it before with some simple mod ideas: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/8008179/

But I think everyone's waiting for the new version. (Don't want to redo everything when it comes out.)

I love Space Pirate Fortress. The pirates are just so god damn hilarious in their machinations.

>>8464262
because they are both madly driven to craft phallic-shaped objects?

>>8464247
Oh man, I explored too far, and a legendary Samus was discovered. Shit was not cash, I was not ready for that.

>>8464239
That means he's going to make something. You have to get him those things for him to do it. You can engineer some metroids or build some tubes easily enough, but if you're plane doesn't have a phazon deposit you're pretty much screwed. He's probably going to go apeshit.

You now realize Mother Brain was the only pillar supporting the entire fortress on Zebes and killing her caused the entire structure to collapse

Sweet. The Lead Sciencer arrived. I can tame metroids now!

>>8464311
Moron! When you hit Phazon and Metroids, It means get ready because shit's about to go down!
Half your pirates prolly had unspeakable things done to them with her tentacle! (she has tentacles right? I don't feel like checking Space fort wiki)

>>8464376

...It...it really was a Fortress after all...

Guys, every creature on the map is hostile and more and more of my pirates keep going hostile as well and all of teh hostiles are just named X(number). What's going on?

>>8464471
Uh oh. When you got the metroids, you didn't get ALL of them did you? That really, really fucks up the ecosystem. This game is so fucking detailed it's scary sometimes.

>>8464376
HOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEEEEE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
THAT is how you design a fortress.
Fuck you, Hunter, I'm taking you down with me!

>>8464471
HOLY FUCKING SHIT

You just hit X. Those fuckers take over everything and make them stronger and shit. You've got to kill or quarantine all those Pirates now or all of them will become X and die.

>>8464566
And get some Metroids. They're the only thing that can deal with X, but they might kill your Pirates, too.

Be careful, man.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but my fortress is going smoothly. I've even managed to get support from the Federation, all thanks to a little...bamboozling.

On the surface of the planet, a handful of my pirates run a nice big restaurant we've named Burger Geemer, where we sell Tallon Fries, Zebes Shakes (with just a touch of Phazon), and of course, Geemers, lightly roasted, and on a bun.

Little do they know, that underneath BG, the largest Pirate Fortress in all existence is being created...

And the galaxy is funding it.

Also, I could swear I saw the Hunter in one day, but I only saw it for a second. Didn't have a chance to screencap it. But since all my stuff is still intact, I guess I'm alright for now?

>>8464530
>>8464566

Shit! Will any more metroids come in from the map edge?

>>8464622
Man, I think you should go check each level of your fortress. You don't get an alert if the bounty hunter is killing pirates until one survives.

>>8464667

I don't even have any other entrances to the fortress except the elevator in the basement of BG, and there's an Omega Pirate guarding it, with another switching shifts with him every few hours.

I don't believe the Hunter can tunnel through solid rock, so I think I'm ok. I'll do a check, though.

Besides, on the surface, we're all peaceful chefs and waiters. Why would she think we're anything but?

>>8464757

Did you check any tubes going between levels? The hunter can move through those you know.

>>8464631
Not if you killed all of them. X only show if there are no metroids left. You might be able to ship some in offworld, or clone them if there's some DNA or corpses left.

Metroids are the only surefire way to deal with X.

>>8464789

The only tubes I have set up are for channeling lava, Phazon, and Pirate excrement. I don't plan to make more until I start expanding outward, which won't be for a while.

It cost a bundle, but I have atmospheric generators scattered throughout the fortress, so I don't need TUUUUUUUUUUBES for air or anything.

>>8464844
You need TUBES though! Pirates require TUBES just to make it through the day!

>>8464885

I have TUBES. Just not useless ones.

Rather, at least not useless ones that connect to anything.

Each pirate (as a gift thanks to their hard work) has a stress reliever consisting of a TUBE with a ball made of TUBES rolling around inside it perpetually.

For the most part, my pirates have kept their TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES urge to a minimum thanks to that.

Their productivity has dropped a bit thanks to it, but all that requires is a few more Pirates to handle the load.

>>8464844

You mean your pirates don't have arbitrary tubes connecting random rooms for aesthetics? Sure it slows down the hunter, but how do you manage the morale hit you're taking?

>>8464844
Lava? Phazon? Moron, epic hunters can move through both!, hell, the phazon one can even heal some varieties!

>>8464976

See >>8464952

Morale in the Fortress underneath Burger Geemer is just fine, particularly with so few casualties.

Damnit, I wish this was real....

So is there any way to stop my Pirates from reviving the nobles? I keep trying to get those fuckers dead for a reason, and the Pirates just bring them back to keep making thier retarded mandates and bans.

>>8464988

Yeah, I know, but my fortress isn't big enough or well known enough yet to attract epic-level Hunters.

No one except for Pirates knows about the fortress. Everyone else just thinks it's a nice restaurant, at least as far as I know.

>>8465010
Try drafting them into the military. Nobles surprisingly make the best fighters for some reason.

>>8465139

Alternatively, kill them, stick them in a room, then collapse the room. Then instruct Science Team to delete all DNA data so you can't clone them again.

And keep TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES away from where you buried the body.

Ok, so I ended up digging too far (I'm in the Talon IV biome) and go into one of those hidden Phazon chambers. I can't get anybody near it without them getting corrupted, and there is some kind of huge queen thing down there. The only solution I can find is waiting for the Hunter to show up and kill everything, but that's not really a good answer. Help?

>>8465250
Try luring it out with a phazon trail, then capturing it. It won't be easy, but it will pay off once you can stick tubes into it.

Damn you bastards! Why is this not real!?!?!

>>8465381
because you touch yourself at night. and during the day. and during your grandma's funeral. seriously, wtf man? that's just sick.

>>8465381
Because we would rather wait until after the new version to make it.

>>8465297

Yeah, but once its tasted pirate blood it will never be truly tame. Also those tend to absorb the stats of your pirates. Lost an entire fortress to one of those queen things after it became SUPERPHASONLY TOUGH, PERFECTLY TUBED, and ULTRA MUTATED.

>>8464117

>>8465039

Anyway, if any Pirate bros have the online patch, come visit BG. I'm about 34 parsecs from Tallon 2, coordinates 264-4-35. I'll give you a burger on the house.

You can already make tubes in vanilla DF.

This really wouldn't be that hard to make.

TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES

I love when shit like this happens.

SCIENCE!

METROIDS!

DARN NOBLES!

Are these metroid comics from /v/, or being drawn on the spot?

>>8466169
TUBES

>>8466169
I think it's a bit of both.

Then again I've been wrong before.

>>8466169
From /v/. The quality is part of their charm.

TUBE AETHER, MORE LIKE!

>>8466056
This one is /tg/ original. I put this together (shittily) a while back actually. I just shit my pants when I saw it reposted.

These came from /v/.

I made one of them and am delighted to see it being reposted over a year later.

Tee hee.

There's a shitload of these comics.

>>8466198
Not all, a few of them were made a while back at a thread that came up with space pirate fortress here on /tg/. OP's was some origional content from that thread, for instance.

>>8466198
>>The quality is part of their charm.

Of course, I love that aspect.

­

>>8466218
I was about to repost it myself, but someone beat me too it.

TUBEMURDERED!

This one is just sorta cute.

>>8466253
This made me smile.

>>8466253
d'awwww

PERFECT PLAN!

>>8466306
wat

Also, never got why they do this.

>>8466306
Woops! that one looked like a pirate comic when I was scanning through my images. I gotta rename these basterds.

>>8466137
At least they're not like the nobles in Umbrella Lab

Oh you're gaining lots of funds by selling legitimate drugs?

NOBLE HAS MANDATED THAT THE EXPORT OF GOOD DRUGS BE BANNED

NOBLE DEMANDS THAT HE BECOMES GOD

Oh and you can't even kill your noble by flooding his office, or something like that, since by the time you build the necessary stuff he already injected enough T-Virus into himself to be invulnerable and is starting to eat any scientists that get withing tentacle reach.

>>8466344
I have failed us!

This was a good thread.

>>8466398
TUBES

It's almost surprising something like this came from /v/.

>>8466339
The one in the middle is wearing armor.

­­­

>>8466392
I lol'd.

SCIENCE

>>8466423
Surprisingly, /v/ has the best comics out of all the boards.

>>8466378
This is probably my favorite one.

THIS THREAD IS MOST AUTISTIC THING I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNETS.

>>8466426
It's legs bend differently. That's more than just armor.

>>8466457
Now that you mention it, you're right. They do.

>>8466468
Yeah, it's pretty good.

>>8466479
He's crouching due to all that heavy armor.

>>8466479
One on the left is just crouching more, bro.

I love this one.

>>8466504
And the exposed internal organ?

>>8466504
TUUUUUUBEMIND

Tubes have their uses!

>>8466531
>broke all of our tubes and science

Gets me every time.

>>8466495
I think it comes from having more traffic than most boards but not being unbelievably horrible like /b/. Also, and this is just wild speculation, I suspect places like /a/ and /co/ feel discouraged from making their own drawings on account of the boards constantly being filled with much better drawings.

Really, with some nobles, I wonder why even bother.

­­­­

EVERYONE WANTS THE POWER OF THE TUBES

>>8466605

It all makes sense now! Samus is an incarnation of princess zelda!

Clearly the space pirates attacked Hyrule and killed off Link's line, so to survive she had to badass the fuck up.

­­­­­­­

>>8466597
>power latrine

Can't unsee Mehreen wielding a portable toilet.

SAMUS IS A DICK

ALSO I AM RUNNING LOW ON COMICS

>>8466652
Best part is that it's an actual scan from Prime 2.

­

>>8466686
Wait, Blazblue?

This is the best thread ever.

>>8466694
Yeah

>>8466686
Is this something I'd get if I played Prime 3?

>>8466715
Zero mission.

­­­

>>8466715
Zero Mission and Blazblue.

Basically, the catgirl is a genius scientist who uses the power of SCIENCE to make super androids.

These are just fantastic. I want to keep talking about space pirates DF, but I'm too busy saving and reading comics from /v/.

>>8466750
For some reason I like the idea that samus would still wear her helmet to the beach. Under a sunhat.

Hot damn. All three of the ones I made a long while back got reposted.

I guess this is insufferable attention whoring, crude mspaint and all, but damn, that made my night.

>>8466781

She feels naked otherwise.

>>8466750
Samus is pretty damn skinny for a combatant.

Sheesh
I have a lot of TUUUUUUUUUBES stuff.
>>8466793
I can't help but be curious which ones are yours.

>>8466802

That's probably due to SPACE and artist ability.

>>8466774
That's rather common.

I'm out.

>>8466808
SPACE makes people skinny? Or you mean how it's detrimental to muscle mass?

I guess her suit is a power suit, but what about Zero Mission, then?

­­­­­­

>>8466845
You know, Space Pirates take that whole "no man left behind" thing to a whole new level.

>I can't help but be curious which ones are yours.

>>8466681
>>8466367
>>8464288

Not sure what this is, but posting it anyway.

­

>>8466896
The last two are good, the first one is alright. (in the order you linked to them)

Did you really make the last one? I'd say that one is probably the most famous.

It's amazing that the Space Pirates can simultaneously be this funny and one of the most dangerous organisations ever.

­­

>>8466985
Funniest scan in the entire series.

I made one of these way back in the day... I don't have it anymore, but no one has posted it either...

Oh well, it wasn't that good or anything.

>>8466915
Well, I didn't do the more popular DF variation.

And I guess the jetpack one isn't very good, no. When you shoot the jetpack guys, they corkscrew wildly and crash directly into you. What can I possibly add to that?

­­­­

>>8466988
Which game is that in?

I've only played the first Prime game and Super Metroid.

>Space Fortress Thread
>Just got a Wii last weekend and snagged the last copy of Metroid Trilogy in the store

It's like the planets have aligned. Thank you, /tg/

>>8467038
First, in the Phazon Mines I think, or maybe second in the Pirate Labs.

>>8467014
Which one?
There is a decent chance I may have it.

>>8467038
First Prime.

>Science Team is attempting to reverse-engineer Samus Aran's arsenal, based off of data acquired from her assaults on our forces. Progress is slow, but steady. Command would dearly enjoy turning Aran's weapons against her. We believe we can implement Beam weapon prototypes in three cycles. Aran's Power Suit technology remains a mystery, especially the curious Morph Ball function. All attempts at duplicating it have ended in disaster: four test subjects were horribly broken and twisted when they engaged our Morph Ball prototypes. Science Team wisely decided to move on afterward.

I guess I'm going to keep posting random TUUUUUUBES until I get bored.

>>8467084
I must save them all... so late... so tired

>>8467076
>Believe science team has vapor for brains.

Space Pirate Fortress is awesome.

I love how the Space Pirates are so hilariously inept, yet are supposed to be the most dangerous force in the galaxy.

I also love how these comics highlight how ridiculous Dwarves are.

Great Gameplay, great art direction and environmental design... but for the love of god could you make the gameplay spaces be both interesting, functional, and logical AT THE SAME TIME?

­

>>8467113
How many more are left?

>>8467109
>Great Gameplay, great art direction and environmental design... but for the love of god could you make the gameplay spaces be both interesting, functional, and logical AT THE SAME TIME?
Speaking as a GM, it ain't easy.

­­­

Little made me feel more awesome then readying all the lab documents about how they concluded their latest super mutants had a 70% success rate in simulations against you but you horribly mutilated them each time.

The growing frustration in their logs made it ever so delicious.

I hope we can one day mod Dorf Fortress into Space Pirate Fortress. Making a fort, trapping animals, mutating, making weapons, rebuilding corpses into cyborgs, and fighting off Monsters, Hunters and Space Federation forces.

With the one gameplay point being, when Samus shows up, it's impossible to defeat her, and all you can do is merely to slow her down. Samus would literally be the end game.

Note to self: Figure out how to add critical tube mechanic into DF base gameplay..

>>8467150
Sup Evil. What happened to your awsome quest? :3

>>8467137
I think I have around 150 of these, of varying quality, and probably containing a few duplicates.
It would probably just be easier for me to toss them on megaupload or something.

>>8467109

intelligent, dangerous, logical space pirates just wouldn't be the same. Reading the logs in the prime series was one of my favourite things

>>8467186
please do. I'm so damn tired and I have class tomorrow and these are awesome.

>>8467142
It's tricky, but at the very least you need
- A visual hook to give the players an instant understanding and grasp on the environment.
- The space has to appear like someone would actually use it. This is where most things fall apart.
- It has to have a "gimmick" of sorts. Not like an acid pit, but say for instance rocks that give a tactical advantage, etc.

>>8467186

>>8467014, here. Do you happen to have one that is similar to >>8467019 but of a lesser quaility? That would be mine.

Had a space pirate holding some phazon with it sizzling on his hand and in the last panel he licks it. The comic is a pile of shit but it would be nice for some nastolgia.

>>8467177
New semester started and I didn't have 6 hours to speed write as often. Then I just stopped caring about continuing.

>>8467177
This, Evil.

>>8467162
Mutating and rebuilding corpses will likely be impossible in the near future. So will making Samus be literally unkillable, though making her practically unkillable should be relatively easy.

>>8467222
I liked that one!

The awesomeface in the "version" that got posted takes away from the humor, IMO. The pirates shouldn't be crazy "for the lulz," but simply because they are made of bad ideas. Like a bad idea elemental or bad idea golem.

>>8467236
What an evil thing to do to your players.

>>8467245

Rather than samus, having super-powerful "hunters" might be a good idea.

>>8467222
This one? I like it more than the awesome face one, to be honest.
