sdtwbaj Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I know NTSAM just suggested this, but I want to reopen it as I feel NTSAM didn't adequately fight for it. As an avid QM player, I spend a lot of time in Cargonia, usually alone or with one other antisocial cargo tech. I'd love a pet to mess around with, help pass the time a bit easier. On the topic of it being a "charm" or "head item" see: E-N Pun Pun Goat None of those belong to heads, but rather to immobile departments that usually work in one area. That sounds a lot like the QM, or cargo in general, right? C'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperPants Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 E-N is a dickwheel. All I have to say about this. You're right about non-heads having pets though. Why not show QM some love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidchan Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Doesn't the Janitor get Wags-His-Tail aka the pet lizard? Pun Pun isn't a pet though. He's emergency meat for the Chef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regen Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Here's an even better idea Code and sprite it yourself, and make a PR for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemanspark Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Here's an even better idea Code and sprite it yourself, and make a PR for it What's the point in making a suggestion if you just get told to do it yourself in a rude manner. Not everyone is a spriting/ coding genius. And there isn't even a solid idea of what pet they want, just the idea that they should have one. Hence they're asking other people for... well, suggestions. In the suggestions subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperPants Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Nobody's even necessarily asking for anything to be sprited. Lizards, pugs, butterflies, even reindeer are already sprited in. The code exists for pets to spawn in certain locations. It probably takes anyone who has a knowledge of the code five minutes to copy any pet's code, change the location to QM office, change the sprite to (for example) lizard, and change the name from the pet copied to whatever (Iggy, for the lizard example). Not everyone knows how to do this, but it really doesn't seem like a huge inconvenience or task at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightedskull Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I say we make it a unique one because, being a QM, I'd imagine they'd have connections or just more access to exotic pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbdumn5 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 If you like I could just make a hamster, and anybody with code knowledge who wants a QM pet could port basically just a re-sprited version of a small animal such as a mouse or lizard if you guys want a hamster.

saywat_the_15th Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hamster would suit QM. Like a hamster, QM is runnin in a wheel (in this case, cargo area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdtwbaj Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 maybe a pet gold grub. a re-sprited deer that doesn't have any effects of a gold grub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauka Usanake Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 If you want a gold-grub just get one from Mining I say. That would require work for it. Otherwise as a pet it would need to be something already domesticated. Still up for a lizard or iguana resprite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a pet that has a presence, something to play with instead of twiddling an iguana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unmovedmover Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) I think we have enough pets as it is. The additions of Detective Sax and Sergeant Araneus were already superfluous in my opinion. The gimmick of having a pet is cheapened by the fact that they are becoming replete across the station. That being said, if we do give the QM a pet, I agree a hamster would suit them nicely. Edited March 20, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTSAM Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Detective sax is a donator item though Phantasmic paid for a whistle that spawns a corgi in a det hat named "Sax" I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
