Space vikings

[Felkvir]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

This


They could be an admin exclusive thing or very very rare possibly?

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

You can call it pointless and maybe out-of-lore maybe but ... C'mon...... SPACE VIKINGS

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

A ship of around 10 depending on how many ghosts are available will spawn, the 10 boarders being armed with different assortments of ballistics with makeshift melee weapons and spears as backup. (or new melee weapons maybe?)
I think they'd act like vox raiders maybe where they would have the main objective of just ... Well .... Raiding

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Probably gonna be put on the coding backlist if anyone at all like this idea, iunno...

[JuanRico]

Strong +1 on this one.

[Seehund]

Y-yes, but...

how does this fit in the lore?

Immersionsssssssssss.

[xywenx00]

-1 Vikings didn't have horns on their helmets/masks. +1 if u remove the horns. My inner nerd gets mad every time.

[andre1999]

+support. This sounds awesome, plus, it's not that much out of lore, since who says there can't be pirates dressed as space vikings in Alien lore? (Also, for the love of god, don't give them horns and don't name them berserkers, unless it's a elite champion with a bear coat, then berserker is fine, still no horns tho.)

yeah just place your hand over the one on the left and it's fine

[LordeKilly]

I'd be content with other nefarious factions like the space bears. It could add some more danger to calling ERT.

+1

(now i just gotta wait for space savage mongol faction)

[Tristan63]

Sounds alot like Space wolves.

+1

[Boltersam]

Only if they get Frost Axes and Boltguns! Spesssss wooooolves! +1

-1 Nope Diddley-Ope, neighbor!
It's a nice idea and would be an interesting antag on any server except the one trying its damnedest to be like the movie "Aliens."

[JuanRico]

server [...] trying its damnedest to be like the movie "Aliens."

We have predators, the jungle guys from predators, and fucking clowns. No matter what, we should atleast have some !FUN! instead of being a deathcamp for all fun.

But then marines would be always outnumbered and tail stabs would insta kill.

Predators aren't related to Aliens at all.

And we need sawn off shotguns for cprl hicks wannabes.

Pretty sure Hicks' shotgun isn't sawed off.

Predators make a lot of sense for the server. If you've ever read the AVP comics or played AVP1, AVP2 or AVP(2010) you'd understand it. They're acceptable.

Hick's shotgun is an M37 stakeout, not a sawed off. We do have sawed off shotguns on the server, but they're rare.


As much as I'd like Space Vikings, they're a little too out there, especially for a universe in which humanity itself is fairly mundane and rooted in reality. Sorry, it would be fitting for Shadowrun or Infinity, but not really for Aliens.

I've seen AvP the movie and watched playthroughs of the games, however, you specifically said
"trying its damndest to be like the movie Aliens".
Predators were not in Aliens.

It wasn't? The more you know....

Well, if we have the Pizza Guy, then we'd have more weird ones...
But no, it's far fetched and doesn't fit the feel and immersion of the server. True.

[MrJJJ]

eh no -1, we have enough ERT for now, and they don't really fit ze lore

[Logi99]

This should be an event ert. When people get really bored and wnat the round to get a little interesting. ADmins could pull up the event and get the event ERt. Simpelz. Or only make it ERT when you put ON EVENTS! But anywaay this looks damn cool +1

[KingKire]

Well, im not gonna sugar coat it, this suggestion is definitely an extra ERT suggestion and is one of the few things that are specifically named not to be suggested. Move to LOCKED and DENIED? On the back end, theres a new mercenary ERT that does have similarish uniforms (black, heavy vests, no horns) so maybe you could make up an viking based (or named organization) RP backstory if you ever get called as the mercenary ERT.

[forwardslashN]

As much as I want new ERTs, this isn't going to proceed. Denied.
