BadApple797 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 We have fish, why not add Babel fish. Fish that fit in the ear slot and can let you understand all languages (except maybe binary) Probably be best if it didn't make you able to speak all those languages, just understand. Universal recorders and PAI's can already do this, the fish would be better back take a bit of effort to get.

Mrs Dobbins Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I like the idea of this, and anyway, we don't have enough Hitchhiker's references in the game. In the books the Babel fish didn't make it possible to speak whatever language, just understand other languages.

ErAgent Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 No, I don't agree with the fish. I could agree if this feature may be added to the borer for example. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/5310-babel-fish/#findComment-38386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbdumn5 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I agree with it completely, just another Hitchhiker's reference. Would be nice if you could find it as a low chance from something.

pazneria12 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 i say add it to borer to give a tiny bit more insentive to not instantly go get it ripped out, and perhaps a low chance from something else Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/5310-babel-fish/#findComment-38403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvinMartian34 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe you could get a babelfish cube from the merch computer outside of cargo for a high price and just water it down?

FalseIncarnate Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 It's an interesting idea, but my main concern is that it would be TOO simple to get something like this. Given the utility of this proposed fish, it would need to be fairly uncommon/difficult to obtain, to avoid people simply rushing one in the first 30 seconds of the round. Perhaps if/when we return xenoarch, the eggs for this fish could be a potential find? Would make it less commonplace, and actually be a usable reward.

BadApple797 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Or maybe a : -traitor item, -emagged petvendor, -rare fish that has 5% chance of hatching from a salmon egg instead of a salmon, -wizards could get them and they could be rarely be found in the wizard rooms on the asteroid. EDIT: and vox traders should get one Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/5310-babel-fish/#findComment-38447 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauka Usanake Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Or maybe a : -traitor item, -emagged petvendor, -rare fish that has 5% chance of hatching from a salmon egg instead of a salmon, -wizards could get them and they could be rarely be found in the wizard rooms on the asteroid. EDIT: and vox traders should get one That's an idea. Make it something that can spawn from the fish tanks. Maybe make it so it doesn't lay any eggs too so the Babel fish won't multiply.
