I think that moose is way too dangerous as a pet. way too dangerous

I rather think that these belong here:

Maybe you could have the option to buy a trumble hunter creature like this one:

A ship's cat perhaps? Going OT for a moment - is it possible to lose equipment in OOLite? I'm playing the windows alpha and haven't had anything blasted off me yet. I remember from the BBC original occasionally losing various bits of equipment and cargo when I took a pasting.

Perhaps when your ship's cat gets fried by being too close to the hull when your shields are down and you are being hit it could turn into 1 ton of furs - of course that's one big cat.

Ship's Cat should really interact with the Trumbles in some way...

Ship's Cat should really interact with the Trumbles in some way...

Bear in mind that I use / purchase neither, however...

The appeal of both is similar I think (pets for your ship).
Having one control (by which I of course mean predate ) the other seems reasonable.

IIRC there are multiple cats available, so having at least one of them be a champion Trumble hunter would be good. Perhaps never quite enough to truly wipe them out, but you could hear the occasional death squeek. Maybe such a felid only becomes available once your Trimble population reaches a certain threshold, so the player can 'enjoy the show'...

Yes! I like it...

Bump!

As Redspear says, these really should interact with Trumbles in some way. Eating them... or being eaten by them...

Proof!

I brought myself a trumble, and I'm a happy pet owner.

In fact, i play oolite on my laptop in bed at night. Then my cat jumps up onto my lap, and tries to go sleep, but when the trumble comes dancing across the screen, the cat suddenly gets interested, creeps forward, puts a hand on the keyboard then reaches out with its other paw and starts swiping the laptop screen where the trumble is!

pretty cute, i reckon.
