Actually, Devs still didnt scale SeaDragon's Health and i can still kill it in 4 seconds using the drill arm
Oh wait, It's a game - that makes sense
It would be really odd given the devs stance on weapons and killing in general, except where necessary to survive. I think the idea was to make it so massive and powerful enough that taking it on head-to-head would be suicide, but at the same time the Prawn isn't terribly maneuverable to play cat and mouse with it while accomplishing an objective. Are we going to have to find a way to stealth around this thing...?
That would also imply there is an empire and they rule over the lands or rather sea of ... dammit we still do not have a name for this planet other than a stupid number right?
Maybe you can run right past it like with the Reapers. Stay and fight if you want, or just run right past.
I'd be more inclined to stay and fight if hostile fauna respawned eventually since an empty ocean is a boring ocean. (And if I wasn't such a coward)
Don't forget the Warpers as well!
I posed that same question to a sandshark while it was gnawing my leg, but it didn't answer.
Well, it probably didn't answer because you, a human with a much more developed brain and some logical reasoning, are trying to converse with a creature whose only real goal is to find food.
Or in the case of the Stalkers, find food while also sabotaging your Scanner Room operations.
Actually found that to be kind of cute though, I was building a base and this Stalker ran off with my Camera drone, dropped it in its own little "hoard" then swam off to harass my Seamoth parked a short distance away........ While his buddy proceeded to swim over and carry the drone off to HIS personal hoard. The two went back and forth like that (And occasionally trying to bite me) the whole time I was building. It was kind of fun to watch, really makes me wish I could hatch my own stalker that wasn't hostile ;v;
That's why I tend not to build scanner rooms near kelp.
Saaaame. I do tend to get urges to attack Sandsharks and Bonesharks at times (And especially Biters and Bleeders...) because of how persistent they are with wanting to nibble on you without your express permission, but if you remove all the threats from the game, what fun is it then? :<
Sure, I can be the "big powerful human" and go all Monster Hunter on the fauna - but what then? They're the only things providing a challenge and keeping things from being dull, and unlike the passive prey fauna, they don't seem to respawn. I may as well just play with Invisible on: It'd be the same experience. I can drown and have to upgrade my subs, but nothing can harm me since nothing can attack me.
I'd be more inclined to try fighting back instead of running circles around them - or running from them, in the case of the leviathans - if I knew they'd be back sooner or later. Maybe even with varying spawn locations (+ / - meters from X location) Be on my guard at all times, you never know when the next generation of predators will be lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce...
The Emperor being passive was an early theory, given that it is imprisoned. People assumed the goal was to release it. Apparently the thing is imprisoned because it is very dangerous and it may be the one unstoppable threat in the game. It may or may not get out, we may just be required to get into the prison for something and struggle desperately to not get eaten while inside. But the PDAs regarding the creature seem to imply aggression.
I thought she was imprisoned only because she's basically a research subject in a observation room. So its not like an actual 'prison' prison, No more than our aquariums are prisons at least.
She also seems like she is intelligent from what's in the Trello log.
But the creatures ARE all hostile. 90% of the creatures big enough to pose a real threat, and several too small to pose any threat, ALL want to kill you.
Sand sharks are quite easy to stasis/shank, though. And Biters aren't much of a threat, but they try and attack the Prawn, so I just punch them once.
