Title: starship troopers?
Post by: starlord on January 24, 2008, 08:39:09 am
Has anyone considered bringing space combat to the starship troopers universe? It would be quite fun to blast arachnids from fighters.

Actually... watch Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles (particularly the episode(s) entitled "Trackers")... You can find it on youtube by searching the following:

r:stc klendathu 11
r:stc klendathu 12

campaign order, in case you get hooked, is:

Pluto, Hydora, Tophet, Tesca, Zephyr, Klendathu, (Trackers), Homefront, <Missing final 2 episodes>

Interesting: Would be good if there was a starship troopers game bent on space combat!

How about Bugs vs Pokemon?

KlendathuWarriorBugMon, I choose you!

CheesyBadSoapOperaActorsWithNoConceptOfTheSourceMaterialMon, I choose you!

KlendathuWarriorBugMon! Use your "spiky killing gory death" attack!

CheesyBadSoapOperaActorsWithNoConceptOfTheSourceMaterialMon!  Counter with your "Don't use those nukes you're carrying around, run away, spray and pray" attack!

Pokemon names don't end in "mon", you're thinking of Digimon.

I'm sorry, I'll remember that next time I talk about a kid's show that I've never really watched and don't care to learn anything more about. C'mon, it was pretty funny...  even without the misplaced reference

Bah... Digimon was always gold.

Pokémon (yes, with an accent égu or htf it's spelled) sucks hot (hot not in the sense of 'hot'), pourishing donkey balls.

I liked Digimon season 1 but either the following ones weren't as good or I grew out of it.

As a child, I always found it dead funny to look at the boy's small pen0rzes when they do their flashy exoskeletal digimon transformations in season four.
It seems to be a universal law for asians.

C'mon. Don't tell me you never laughed upon these.

Read what you posted while pretending you have very little knowledge of digimon.

Something tells me I have a) said something horribly wrong and b) I'm closer to a ban right now.

Not so much something wrong as something weird and funny. :p  No need to worry about a ban.

Hey, I tried my new XF5700 mantis experimental fighter game (1992): you know what? It has a surprisingly good feel of starship troopers in space. My advice, try it!

What digimon exoskeletal transformation? I recall seeing a few episodes (sheer boredom) and the only human-like things are those two angel-like..monsters? programs? somethings?
Changing race and gender during powerup phases...somethings realyl wrong with a lot of those jap flicks.

Starship troopers . . . wow. I would love it lots actually. I wonder how combat would be under SCP since a tad bit of the focus was on land campaigns.

Yes, that's why I think it is a bit of a joke. However, once again, try mantis.
