I'm doing a patch in the morning that will include several new types of creature, including some that burrow under the ground and others that jump! Offering new and varied ways to get eaten while you're out for a picnic in the Northern Desert..

Don't want to give them all away here as that takes away from the fun of meeting them, but here's two:

A creature that we think evolved from a grasshopper. Can leap up to 30 feet in the air. Modelled and animated by Tinker. Nice work!..

Giant worm-like things – any soft terrain can be burrowed under by these nasties. They use their burrowing ability as a way to ambush their prey. These chaps generally consider cars to be just as tasty as peds:

Also giant spiders of various types, including hairy winter-loving ones and red lava-and-fire-immune ones.

I want vehicle armor upgrade! Red Spider skin(scales?)!

Resistance to flames!

Flames resistance could be relative to how much armor you have on a facing (relative to max)

game balance? could make the armor sligthly weaker.

Does this mean critters will start showing up in vehicular wilderness combats again? I thought that's been turned off ever since they were appearing crazy often back during some strange phase of the auroras?

"Aiming To Misbehave".....


That is one of my favorite quotes from the "Firefly/Serenity" series!


Another one my favorite quotes is in the episode, "Our Mrs. Reynolds"

They are on a horse drawn wagon and get ambushed.
Reynolds, dressed as a woman, says while pointing his pistol at the ambush leader, "I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I WILL end you!"

The western style of storytelling in a futuristic setting is fantastic!

I wish they would continue that series.... But it's not to be!

Ped equipment!

Bio - suits !

(less carry bulk, less armor, LESS radiation)

Gasmasks!

(reduced dexterity or gun skill, LESS radiation)

EDIT:

PEDS CLIMBING ONTO CARS!

You know that old B movie where they have to climb onto rocks and cars (only helps a limited time) and kill huge burrow worm monsters with dynamite and trick them off cliffs!

Pickups could have an ability to move at certain speeds with peds on the cargo bay. (=ped turrets ehhehehe)

Maybe if I supply images, and we ask JD nicely, he'll write some text for them? I always liked your creature descriptions, JD..
