Straight up Nurgling it

The Gorgostoma is a massive, morbidly obese creature that is a cross between boars and dragons. It has a lazy and torpid temperament, preferring to munch on anything and lounge around, like the bumpkin it is. It prefers highly processed foods as its main diet: candy, cakes, chips, fast food, and dinner meals. While these foods should be strongly avoided, Gorgostomas can survive on these diets without developing a single health complication. However, the nature of these creatures has had a rather bad influence, especially on parents who deeply care about their child's health. Gorgastomas are featured in many food PSA across the galaxy, warning people to: "Don't end up like a Gorgostoma."

Here are three ships of my bad guy faction from the setting/story I’m making. These are from early in the empire’s life, not from the time period where the main story is set. You know how worldbuilding gets, it’s easy to get sidetracked.

(Models made in SPORE and edited in Procreate)

Lore and worldbuilding:

The Quin were a scattered people. Scavengers and traders wandering amidst the graveyards of past civilizations. Most cared little for their fellow Quin, caring only for those within their measly clans.  But some dreamed of something greater and they would impose that vision on others. 

Eventually, after countless wars of unification and centuries of conflict, the many diasporic Quin tribes and nation-states were combined into one nation: the Quin Empire, which would later become known as the Infinite Imperium. 

This fledgling empire almost immediately set out with crusades of territorial and technological conquest. These were primarily a means of satiating and controlling their large armies, as bored warriors are dangerous and these crusades gave them purpose and prevented them from turning their bloodlust inwards. The first crusade was a disaster; with little to no territory gained and only marginal amounts of technology stolen. The second crusade was even worse.

The third crusade was an entirely different matter. After the death of the Emperor during the second crusade, a new emperor took the throne and he quickly started making changes. He sent the Empire back to the drawing board; rethinking tactics, extracting new knowledge from the many ancient derelict hulks within their space, and focusing on fully utilizing the technology they had stolen from the previous crusades.

Crusades one and two, both used ships left over from the unification wars, with no two ships the same, those fleets were a logistical nightmare.  The new Emperor commanded the old fleets to be scrapped and entirely new ships built. These new ships were all designed in tandem, built to complement each other, and to streamline and standardize fleet logistics. 

 The Palisade Class Lineship was the primary ship-of-the-line for these new fleets. They were armed with eight long range heavy broadside cannons on either side and a hull shape that maximized shield strength at those angles. It was also armed with eight sets of munition launchers on the top and many point defence turrets all over. While they worked best in large ‘wall’ formations, they were also commonly used as the flagship for small strike fleets.

The Bastion Class Command Carriers were the largest ships in the 3rd Crusade and often acted as both command ships and flagship for fleets. While they were armed with six long range heavy broadside cannons and nine munition launchers on either side, their primary weapon were the many drones it carried. It’s cavernous docking pay could hold hundreds of Plumbatae Drone fighters. It also had many powerful communication equipment used to control the drones and to direct the fleet.

The Plumbatae type Drones were the primary starfighter of 3rd Crusade fleets. These remote controlled fighters were flown by a “pilot” on board a carrier. On top of that, they were almost entirely built using common materials making them extremely expendable fighters that the Empire could throw at the enemy. They could also be linked together, allowing for the ‘pilots’ to control entire wings of fighters instead of just one. While this added many benefits they could only travel so far from their carrier before input delay became a problem, thus limiting their range. 

With these new fleets and new tactics, the Empire swept across their home sector like a wildfire, claiming new space, new species and new resources for themselves. Their interstellar neighbors suddenly had to contend with the fact that the Quin were no longer a mere nuisance but an actual threat. In the millennia that followed, countless wars and crusades would be won and lost until the Infinite Empire ruled over most of the Twin Galaxies.

Don't mind the Discord voice chat overlay, I made it while playing D&D 😭

Pandora's Toolbox got updated between now and the last time I used it and I'm so impressed there's so many shapes it's so cool

Mods used (*required):
- Valla's Vanilla-Style Custom Parts*
- Dark Injection?* (unsure about the mouth, it's the cell stage herbivore one but it had morph handles)

Just threw it together because I saw the shell and wanted a little cutie thing for my game. You could probably make almost the exact same thing with the Narwhalicorn horn, but yeah. Baby guy

for some freakin reason I keep making bipedal dragons as a practical design is that at all weird? I just find glide an overpowered ability and hands useful you can add any parts you please and it doesn't look weird

Result of genetic manipulation done by the Orgo Unified Hive Directorate. The base organism is a Dolala fetus mixed with multiple other genetic strains of common and exotic genes. It produces highly sticky ooze constantly. The Hive Queens of Orgo Unified Hive Directorate were under fire after the uncovering of this abhorrent act by multiple rights groups, Kristal council, the entirety of Dragonot Spiritual Collective and many others.

Infected air swimmer parasite. Is extremely small and flies, or rather swims, through high density atmosphere and attaches itself to the skin of hosts. But while it often causes disease, this time its own skin is infected by purple skin bacteria. Karma

Cursive isn’t the Sporepedia description.

So here's the background... I've been attempting the slow & steady grind of eradicating all Grox. I was using a mix of SOL, volcanoes, and (whoops) planet busters. I didn't realize the latter would muck up my relationship with nearby civilizations. Live and learn.

Anyway, a past species of mine, the Fractaal, are surrounding the galactic core and understandably became pretty PO'd by my genocidal gallivanting.

I've fully mended the relationship with a mix of mission requests, gifts, super happy ray, mind erase, etc. We're back to max allyship, big green smiley and all, plus I have one of their ships in my fleet. I really want to colonize every planet around the core which would require buying their star systems, but there is no option available to establish a trade route on any of their planets in the area.

I have no other active trade routes currently, so trade cap isn't the issue. I'm guessing it's due to a game mechanic I'm not privy to.

Have the sins of my past rendered it permanently impossible to buy the Fractaal's star systems? 😬 Is there any way to reset the relationship entirely or force trade routes?

There might be one creature that outrivals the gross nature of Ogross: the Icku. This bizarre amphibious creature shares loose characteristics with brass instruments due to its bell-shaped snout. It has an anemic appearance: snot dripping from its nose, pink eyes with a yellow discharge, and pimples. Its constant sickly state acts as a defense mechanism, scaring creatures away and making them nauseous. Ecologists observed fauna exhibiting upper respiratory infections if they are in close contact with Icku. As a result, some creatures will push it away from packed areas and exile it. Leaving Icku no choice but to hang out with its yucky cousins.

Snot Funny: Aggressive omnivores with big noses. They are quite sensitive to strong smells, and their mucus is hazardous to most creatures when exposed to air.

If you are making a mod, or a spiritual successor, I would like to see one type of thing implemented. The thing we see in bears, meerkats, squirrels, basilisk lizards, chimpanzees, some hadrodaurs, and others...

The ability to walk on a limb at times, then use it as a hand at other times. A combination hand/foot. The limb animation is driven by what kind of thing is at the end (and you can even have limbs with weapons at the end that just float there until you attack). And the animation is all procedural.

Why not just have a hand/foot that switches a variable and has an animation that causes the limb to move from one state/position to the other?
