Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum! Team based antagonists are one of Goon’s most unique features: nukies, gangs, the flock, and revs are all very fun (and chaotic) game modes. They mostly revolve around taking over - and/or destroying - the station. However, I thought it’d be a fun idea to take a different approach: stealing the station’s expensive goodies (along with the budget).
Much like nukies, pirates could spawn at round start on the mothership, equipped with the finest of cargo pirate ships. Equipped with the fanciest treasure chests and cannons on the black market, the pirate fleet will be challenged to steal anything and everything they can stuff into their boats. At the end of the round, the stolen goods will be tallied, and their total worth will be calculated - a cut of the spoils will then be transferred into their bank accounts in the form of spacebux as pirate payroll.
Alcohol - especially rum - could help boost a pirate’s stamina regen and movement speed. Cannons could be wheeled onto the station to blow walls up as a turret with limited cannonball ammo. Pet parrots could be deployed, identifying and flying to the most valuable items in the general vicinity. Meeting monetary stretch goals like 10,000 credits worth of items stolen could supply the pirate crew with special drops: more cannons, alcohol, guns and swords, or even the kraken.
I know this concept is pretty out there - but a team of pirates is an incredibly fun idea to me, plundering and pillaging the station into the ground. Unlike nukies, piracy can facilitate different playstyles: pacifist pirates could hang out and get drunk at the bar all round, or more cruel ones could robust everyone and steal everything. It may not be technically feasible with Goon’s code - but I’d at least like the idea considered nonetheless.
