Ben and Travis (CIG) have been discussing (in recent interviews) about implementing Space Crabs as part of Star Citizen.... I think it is awesome and funny the direction this is going in to lighten up all the serious physics and realistic damage state, etc.... every game needs a bit of humor in it  :P

 

  1. I've got myself a new version of Cryengine so I'm learning to make more than just screenshots of the Great Space Crab, Beware #starcitizen .

If you're new here from time to time you may see the uhh.. more Mentally unstable ... members of this reddit posting Pictures of a Crab / Lobster from time to time, I understand this can be quite confusing for newbies so I thought I would try and explain it a little.

At some point some jackass ( * whistles innocently * ) made a picture of a giant crab in side a hangar, many jokes were made but slowly people started joking about it as a religion and the Crab became known by many names:

Jibbers Crabst, Tasty, "Oh god not this again" but most people know him as The great space crab, Mythical god of deepspace. (Or the Patron Deity of the Subreddit)

Some members out there have even created their own org to worship his chitinous visage. The first post was :

others got in the act:

He later returned in:http://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/2n6fcv/return_of_the_great_crab_mythical_god_of_deepspace/

How awesome would it be to park your ship on some far flung asteroid, and to see this monstrosity come clawing out of some hole to attack your ship.  That'd be an unforgettable moment in game.  

 

Just like in that Picture?

 

I think it'd go something like:

 

Sensor/Comms guy: "Captain there's a nice asteroid field over there there for us to park the Carrier in so as to mask our signature from enemy scouting ships"

Captain: "Navigation move us into ambush position over by that field"

Nav guy : "Aye, Aye Captain"

*Once parked in position*

Sensor/Comms guy: "Captain sensors are picking up something moving through the field... It's coming right at us!!"

Captain : "Can you tell what it is, does it have any recognizable EM or heat signature?"

Sensor/Comms guy: "No Captain, but I can bring it up on screen"

Captain : "Mother of lord! What the hell is that?!"

Weapons guy: "I've heard stories of a Great Space Crab... that must be it! Weapons to full...."

A little bit off-topic, but you know what would be great? Seeing Imperium implemented in offcial SC lore.

We are, after all, one of the largest in-game communities

I wonder if my flight school will get some official attention.

Maybe I should try harder.

I think that would give more bad press... maybe later on when the universe is launched...there has already been stated that if you do something amazing in game you would get the fame...

 

lets say imperium liberated a planet from vandull or helped cure a disease ridden planet ... we could  be in the in game lore or show up n the news etc.... maybe get a small statue or logo on said planet

 

but big ORGS getting lore too early would just give more fuel for the user base already hating on Big orgs

​and probably result in more spam invites

Agreed, I didn't think it that way, but I see your point

Or a friendly giant monster that serves as a hangar thatd be cool too. Like ud just fly into his mouth and ur in ur hangar then wen u leave he poops you out.

How does one embed a video on these forums? Since I'm having a lot of trouble doing so...
