I would totally play that. Also, I feel you need to implement redshirts into the game somehow. Like, maybe every time an attack or something is made, it gets rolled against them first and, if it takes them out, the main character it was targeting is unharmed, whereas, if it doesn't, it's rolled against the main character it originally targeted. Or maybe everyone can be redshirts.

Everyone could have a number of redshirts based on their character's experience/rank/level, and they take all the hits in amusingly horrifying ways. But the redshirts can't actually do anything else except watch whilst the captain seduces an alien.

You know, I just realized I have no knowledge of typical whaler slang or stereotypes whatsoever.

Y'know, in case people would still like a space whaler RTD, rather than the random mutation RTD.

Read Moby Dick and you'll be golden. Provided you can stomach it, of course. And space whalers is still a more awesome idea than random mutations.

I'm fairly sure I got it on a shelf here somewhere...

Though I probably should find it in English if I want to use it as a reference, huh...

I completely agree with Harry baldman about the space whaler being cooler. However, I'd play either RTD.

You could make up some background about Russians forming the backbone of the space whaling industry at some point in the past for some reason, which wouldn't be completely unbelievable. And then you could use Russian terms for everything space whale-related due to similar reasons as we've got French, Latin and English terms for other things.

[Dermonster]

Got it.

Let's be welsh.

Ever since the development of (insert chemical here), during the Third Cold War, an accident involving said chemical has completely wiped out the nutrients in Russian soil involved with potato farming. Lacking the economy needed for mass potato imports and a sudden spike in vodka prices, the Russian government had to do something.

Space Whales.

They're bodies had many of the needed nutrients for potato growth and the rest of the materials could fetch a nice price at market. The Russians jumped at the chance. Sure, it wasn't legal- or illegal, yet, as few even knew about Space Whales- but they risked the possible backlash for their prized booze.

Yes, please! I'm still waiting for SPESSH WHALERS.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Bweheh.

Okay, I've looked at Moby Dick... and it's kinda huge. And I don't mean the whale. Hmm.. well, I guess I'll have to read this thing after all, so onto my lil' tablet it goes... but in the meantime, I think I should start this anyway. I mean, come on. I, at least, am not entirely interested in the whaling references. I want to see starship-to-elder-god combat!

Also, the ship is already a "Protsvetanie" class, so it's kinda already a Russian whaler. ^_^

So your saying Moby Dick is huge?

[Sean Mirrsen]

It's situationally huge. It'll take me a few days to read it, at least. It might not hold a candle to, say War and Peace, or Fallout:Equestria, but it's pretty darn long.

You missed your own innuendo

[Sean Mirrsen]

I willfully ignore such things unless it's actually funny.
