Space Dwarves Anyone?

[codyo]

With the newest dev diary about modding art, will there be anyone making portraits for a Space Dwarf race?
I want to bring the Mountainhomes into space.

The Squats got eaten by the 'Nids, deal with it

I'd like to see some space-gnomes. I'd play 'em as a materialist pacifist Science Directorate or Peaceful Bureaucracy. That would be swell.

Well ya, but that's why we've got Demiurg

I'm not talking about 40k here. This is Dwarf Fortress inspired.
So, I'm going for a communal species. Perhaps militarist as well.

What about space elves and space orcs and space trolls

There is no Dwarf Fortress without those.
But yeah, I'm all for a Dwarf Fortress themed mod.

I can only imagine the Space Elves doing something like "You have disrespected the tropical worlds in this galaxy, but this is what we have come to expect from your stunted kind. Further abuse cannot be tolerated. Let this be a warning to you."
Then WAR! With the treehuggers.

Ah, so the graphics would be quite simple then.

Personally, I'd welcome a "classic fantasy race but in space" portrait mod, as I like that's sort of thing. *tries to dodge stones thrown by hard Sci-fi fans*

They have obviously not heard of Space Elves.

" Space smugness comes in multiple flavors."

Asgard are not Space Elves...

Well I didn't say they were.
But the website might have a point. Or not.
But let's not derail this thread too much with petty arguing.

Ohh lets have a youknowwhatwhenyoudigdeepenough too, maybe as a youknowwhat themed fallen empire that lay dormant until you inadvertantly sent a science ship over...

They should be in if anything so we can conquer then.

I'm hoping for a Reapers mod from Mass Effect for this kind of endgame thing.

Perhaps that's already a thing if you decide to colonize the wrong world?
But what kind of ships would they have? Or would it be just space monsters? I'm thinking space creatures.

As an end-game crisis, sure, would suit the game nicely.
As a fallen empire though? I'm not quite sure.
But that's up to those who can actually mod.

I'm sure I can mod it, but that means needing art for it too

Just wait for the WH40K mod...

I also would not imagine them using traditional ships perhaps giant fireballs are fine...

How about regular space ship, just ruined and blackened from battle.
With a firey glow emanating from the cracks and breaches, even flames erupting from them.
