Trumble feeding and attention

[aegidian]

Should you get a warning message when Trumbles snack on your cargo, or should I leave this as a nasty surprise for the pilot?

[Murgh]

could there be some alternate way to satisfy them so they'll leave the goods alone?

I think sensors may notice that the cargo is diminishing, and there's a chance of an in-progress report.

is there no benefit to keeping Trumbles?

Not as canon with the C64 Elite, but I'm wide open to script suggestions.

I think there should be a warning, then the player will know that it's not a bug (thus reducing the amount of players who will post on here saying 'hey, I'm spntaneously losing all my edible cargo!!!')

Trumbles shouldn't have any positives...vermin...to be wiped out.

I remember the Great Trumble Hunt of '54...four hundred thousand trumbles wiped out with the loss of only one human... Good times indeed.

[Murgh]

maybe the patient commander will find out their droppings are some precious substance. or fiendish narcotic..
furs?

I made an ad-board before I was deprived of photoshop, demanding of me every skill I learned in the unscrupulous advertising industry.

surely there must be an upshot.

if we can dump cargo, could we not jettison the trumbles.
if u have enough they would form a cloud to confuse your foe!

How about a trumble/gremlin type deal whereby if they eat (drink)?! your booze they become evil & drain your energy (very slowly) & drink your witch fuel? lil' b'stards

What about a message from customs, when docking? Like they're none too happy you bring pest aboard, make it a bit cryptic first, so people that do not know the og. trumbles get half a clue it's part of the game, not a bug... Then get more serious, like customs yelling att you to get rid of them before they spread and eat everything etc...

Oh, and selling/buying another ship loophole shouldn't work, or at a hefty penalty (buyer: 'trumbles? aaargh! Hm, i'll take it off your back for **crazy low sum**")

It's only normal, man!
Would you pay the full price for a cockroach-infested but otherwise great looking sportscar? (Assuming this cockroach variant only dies when you do a sunskim... Errrr...)

Leave my car out of this!!!

*me imagining windshield, splattered with multi-coloured cock..errrr...trumbles*

Oh, on topic again:
In spacetrader, some trumbles O.D.-ed on the narcotics, dying, and you'd find... furs in your cargoholds!

that's cool.
and maybe a large amount of radioactives could have that effect too..?
