A mod that tries to combine space pirates (from the metroid series) and dwarf fortress. Why hasn't this been done sooner?
current version: 0.51 (beta), based on a variant of pheobus's graphic set and DF 31.25 in this version:
-Playable space pirate race
-Luminoth race (playable in adventure mode)
-Ing race (like kobolds but actually a threat)
-galactic federation (humans that hate your guts and will probably siege you)
-Zoomers, Geemers, Skree, and Kihunters (now with their own spites!)
-Megabeasts like ridley, samus, quadraxis crocomire, thardus, and mother brain
-over a dozen new weapons, armors, and ammo types
-A few metroid-themed metals like radion, maldium, and cordite, as well as two types of phazon and its alloy.
-Some metroid themed plants, foods, and toys.
-A couple of metroid types: zebes (just called "metroid"), tallon (weaker than zebes, more long-lived), hunter (oh god why are they so strong), fission (tougher, breed like crazy), and phazon (may or may not be broken, i'm not sure yet, hangs around the z level where you SHOULD get phazon) these now have sprites too.
-tamable robots like the dreaded ingsmasher. you can bring some with you from the get go, like the cyborg zebesian or the "jolly roger" drone. the jolly roger drone has three subtypes, the standard "jolly roger" which is fast, the "incinerator" which has a flamethrower, and the "sentry" which is a bit tougher and has a more powerful melee attack.

heres the new items/materials addedcopper < iron < cordite < denzium < bronze < bismuth-bronze < radion < talloric alloy< steel < maldium < bendezium < phazon < red phazon <<<< adamantium < phazite
power scythe -> longer, deadler short sword
large power scythe -> modified longsword
hammerfist -> hammer
jagged spear -> spear
claw blaster > sharpened blaster in terms of firepower (both fire rounds), but the sharpened blaster is better for melee and uses the sword skill. claw blaster uses grasp strike or wrestling up close.
heavy cannon and missile launchers are about the same strength when the heavy cannon shoots heavy rounds and the missile launcher shoots super missiles, but the missile launcher can also shoot weaker missiles that cost less to make. both do significant blunt damage, while normal rounds do piercing damage. the heavy cannon and the missile launcher, while better at ranged combat than the blasters, are terrible in close combat.
in terms of increasing protection
light carapiece < tempered carapiece < power armor
pincer wraps < pincer guards < claw gauntlets
pirate trooper cap < pirate full helm < commando helm
leggings < banded leggings < greaves
portable battle shield < shield < hazard shield
arched boots < two toed war boots < arched sabatons
