STARCADER - Insert coin to continue

MISSIONS MOD, ONLY 10p PER CREDIT

Includes:
Level 1 - Cow Purge



---

I'm running with a little experiment here, hopefully the beginnings of a community mod, of which I encourage others to join me in this ridiculous escapade.

I'm not sure whether it currently works as anything more than a mild diversion, but I've spent a bit of time getting the 'feel' how I want it and I hope that this will encourage people a bit cleverer than me to try and do something similar, but better!

This is supposed to be a little bit of fun, and I think it would be cool if people could see this as a place to dump all their stupid, arcadey ideas for mods that don't belong in the Starfarer universe. Then maybe we can wrap them all up, have a hundred levels and people could compare their scores, and stuff.

Feedback of all kinds is, of course, very welcome.

(and of course, the inspiration for this was in this post by TJJ.)

So you're trying to integrate old-school arcade shooters with starfarer.


Like the idea, I must say :D

This seems to sound okay when I loop play it in Audacity, but not sure if it is what you are after?

Here's my submission:

It's pretty hardcore stuff. Not sure it meets the "arcadey" theme too well, but it certainly fits the "stupid" theme.


I'll draft up a mission or two and send it over.

Your rave ship would make an excellent boss fight, especially with some scatter PD lasers in every color.
