[Suggestion] Additional Skins for Pet Powers.

edited February 2016 in Suggestions Box
In light of the addition of Flared Kzash Hounds to Command Animals, I think it would be great to have other skins for pets.

Munitions Bots:

*Bureau 17 Robots (Protector Droid & Battledroid skins)
*Destroid Robots (Destroid Villain)

Support Drones:

*Binary Bits from the [Become Process] Device.
*Destroid Robots (Gun Drone & Leader Drone skins)
*Foxbattle Bot Spotlights (credit to avianos)

Summon Nightmare:

This *may* require a bit of rejigging as to how this power works and progresses, but if possible, add in Menton's Psionic Raptors (or maybe introduce a whole new mentalist pet summon).

DEVICE: Teleiosaurus pheromones

* Summon wolves instead of raptors (credit to aiqa)

Alternate Skins for Multiple Pet Types:

Magical skins for tech pets, tech skins for magical pets

Support Drones: Fairy skin, could even be Spark Fairy (look it up)

Sigils of the Primal Storm: Tesla Coils
Sigils of Arcane Runes: Proximity Bombs credit to baelogventure

Attack Toys:

Mini robots (could be the same as nemesis minions but miniaturized)
Mini Demons (could be the same as regular demons but miniaturized)credit to spookyspectre


Any other ideas?

    l would also suggest other skin - robotic dinos, similar to Mega Terak, that would match some of my toons for best, but l think entity costume is impossible to be changed for device, as things are now. It must be separate device with similar effect, reworked somewhat to be unable to work together with Teleiosaurus/Wolf Pheromones, let's call it "Summon Toggle" category. Generally that can be done, a fortiori it means more CUSTOMIZATION.

    @Ravenforce: The firebugs are the small, flying/hovering mobs from the Qularr faction.

    So what about more zombies to give necromancers more than the March of undead summons power?

    I'm pretty sure we actually have undead to cover just about all of the current pet powers, excluding the robotic, wind and pyroblade pets. We have those horrid undead looking Grondling freaks over at Nemcon, which basically looks like a zombie mutant. I figure it could be an option for stone golem summons, as it likely uses very similar animations.
    We have at least two handfuls of basic zombies to govern wolf pets, as well as ice-based undead from Canada to cover frost wolves. Fiery zombies in the Takofanes crypts can replace our fire imp summons, whilst the big bellied zombies from the same crypt can cover the arcane golems.

    The catch is of course that this basically has been confirmed an impossibility by a dev, commenting that summon powers should have models within the theme, as well as models that use the same base skeleton. Funny thought I wanted to post somewhere regardless!

    Personally, I would love to get the mechanon spider bots for the munibots and support drones. I'm just not sure how it would work when you fly.

    More types of pet skins would go a long way for a lot of people.

    I'm not sure if it'll happen due to a device existing but Gadroon Observers for Support Drones. It's a tech option that's sleek enough to work with magical heroes.

    Arcane Summon feels like it needs some adjustment. As is, it just seems like a lot of bright colors tossed onto a power armor with only the Mythic Construct skin standing out. I have some ideas that will require tailor fiddling but the short answer is to make things more cohesive per skin. This could be aided if they update the Empyrean costume pieces to use all three textures (instead of just metal) so the constructs can have more variance.

    all of these are perfect. i'd also like to see options for the telios pheromones although i know it's themed and specific.

    i'd like to add the option of sharks as a full time option, instead of water-only options. xD or non-bone-blood kazsh hounds that are more flexible or elemental themes (wood/leaves, fire, blue/grey/white for air or ice). i love the design just not the color. and the fairy/butterfly/bug option for the smaller support pets is fantastic, sign me up! another option for the air elemental and shadow pets too xD.

    yay!

    Support Drones Alternative skin: Gadroon Observer
    I forgot to add it in my suggestions, I really like Gadroon little Observer model, i would like to see it interact with players! Fitting for Vintage Spacepunk themes

    Thinking right now, what other small entities in the game could be skins for support drones?

    /bumping the thread to get it more attention as well! We got 2 new pet skins​​

    Hm...new pet skins...could totally want command animals to also command manimals.

    I'd love to see feline animals for Command Animals. Still feel silly how my cat-dryad toon summons wolves.​​

    Command Animals/Primal Ritual/Ice Beast - I wanna spider alt. skin!

    Arcane Ritual - Heavy sentry (looks like a very large munitions bot, possibly without arm cannon.)

    Attack Toys - Christmas elf. In case the skin of following pets can't be altered, this can at least be explained off as the elf building the toys.

    Mutliple pets: Elemental skins:
    Arcane Ritual would get an Earth elemental skin, acting as a large floating mass of rocks that punch people.
    Ebon Ritual gets a fire elemental; big orange djinn looking dude with no legs
    Radiant Ritual gets the water elemental, which looks like a water nymph
    Air Elemental already is a summon that exists.

    Arcane summon isn't very pretty to look at. Maybe we can get the look from the Lemurian Power Armor instead...
