So there's a circle one that shoots antimatter shots, a triangle one that shoots beams from it's corners, a square one that is hard to kill, a pentagon one, etc. No shields, but regen armour and hull.Īlien monster faction (again), except it's geometry. They use burst beam weaponry, as well as using tentacles to attack (a la the Angel of Might from Evangelion Rebuild) along with swarming fighters. Killing them drops Monster Bits, which is very similar to AI cores. Idea is like there's a 'passive' faction that won't attack until you do, and one that will ALWAYS attack you. It's essentially jellyfish alien monsters that spawn from random planets in uninhabited systems and don't do much other than float around and not do much, with some aggressive ones that target random shipping. However, i had an idea for three factions that I probably won't be able to get around to. The Seeker Mod by Tart kind of does some things like that, and I know that there is a bio-alien faction in the works, as well as biomechanoids. Inspired by those ships from the Rakka short movie by Blomkamp. Ship/Monster that is either engulfed by fog, making it hard to know its exact position, or liquid-like and constantly changing form. A faction that can give you these quests and others related to the mod.ĩ. IBB-like quests where you have to stop a group of cultists before they summon somethingĨ. Inspired by those flood-like aliens from Pulsar: Lost Colonyħ. An option for the 'darkness' to grow during the campaign until you either beat it back (maybe through some quests) or it engulfs everything. Some mysterious cult factions that make their homes on the fringes of civilizationĦ.

Depending on how you play, you could play an entire campaign without seeing anything too weirdĥ. Some of the ships/monsters could have some interesting abilities to simulate messing with your mind, like making you see ships and missiles where there are none, displaying allies as enemies and enemies as allies, etcĤ. monsters like the Mii-go or Elder Things could make an appearanceģ. The further away from the core systems, the higher the chance for something to spawn/happenĢ. Interesting mechanics (wether they are feasible right now or not) are welcome, especially campaign/non-combat related.ġ. Let's pitch ideas for a cosmic horror mod that may or may not be made ever.
