ASTROX

[fashahhh]

SP-ASTROX [UT OLDSKOOL]

Story:

I escaped Earth for a better life. After Nu-Briton was attacked I had no family. No home. No life. There was no longer any reason to be there. So I paid good money to get on the first transport to the outer colonies. Mars? Europa? Titan? I really didn't care which. Turns out we were going much further than that. Some moon called 'Cerberus' in the process of terraforming and they want us to be among the first to start a 'community' there.

The people on board are a mixed sort. I tend to stay away and keep a low profile; I've never been one to mingle with the crowd. It was about half way through our journey deep into space that they struck. The captain was always wary of any Skaarj patrols detecting our vessel, and so he took great measures to avoid any possible Skaarj infested hotspots. However, he didn't anticipate that we'd be boarded by Pirates. A short gunfight ensued, and before we knew it, security personnel and anyone who decided to take arms lay in their wake. Me? I decided to take my chances on capture. So with the other survivors, I was transported aboard their vessel.

For years I heard stories of an opportunistic race that travel the expanse of space searching for abandoned wreckages to salvage or unwary travellers to pillage. It just never crossed anyone’s mind that we would have any run-ins with anything other than the Skaarj. These 'Mercs' as they are known have proved so elusive that I'd never seen any footage of them. They look humanoid in shape and seem more technically advanced than ourselves with their bodies covered in bio-tech implants. They stripped our transport clean of valuables and materials and jettisoned anything that they didn't see of any worth.

What they want with us is anyone’s guess...

Gameplay:

Simple kill the Merc crew and escape from the Merc Pirate ship Astrox.

Pic and description have me hooked. Can't wait!

[Master_Unreal]

Ok I'm absolutely stumped, how does one make those curved arches like that? And then bump em out and add all sorts of lights in it. LOL Pic looks great


EDIT: Scratch that, I figured it out

[Teridax]

Mercenaries as the primary antagonists? This is gonna be interesting.

Same here and that last picture just adds to the expectation.

[Z-enzyme]

Do I see... pink?

[Buff Skeleton]

Reminds me of a Mercenary-themed version of Hexephet!

[UBerserker]

It better be greater than the whole Hexephet.

[TheIronKnuckle]

I hope this feels non-linear even if it isn't

[Legendslayer222]

I am going to link this map between Harobed and Noork's Elbow instead of Terraniux.
