Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game)	comment	Space Pirates And Zombies (And Bounty Hunters) is a top-down action/strategy/RPG game in the vein of Star Control II, Starscape and Escape Velocity, made by Minmax Games. It can be found on Steam, Impulse, and several other digital distribution platforms. In March 2012, it got a free Expansion Pack update that adds a Bounty Hunter faction to the fray, hence the new subtitle And Bounty Hunters.The plot follows Don Gibson, Elsa Young, and Dr. Carl Memford as they embark on a quest to the center of the galaxy in search of a mythical motherlode of Rez, setting out from the ruins of Earth That Was in their cobbled-together starship known as The Clockwork. Assembling a band of followers from outcasts, press-ganged prisoners of war, and anyone else who wanted to join them, they put together a small fleet of additional vessels and set forth on a voyage that will have consequences nobody could have foreseen.Humanity has spread all across the galaxy but is split into hundreds of unorganized factions, loosely classified as the United Terran Alliance and the Civilians. As mentioned above, there is also the new Bounty Hunter "faction" to contend with. They'll be after you as you rack up bounties for wrecking UTA and Civilian ships, clear gates, and complete certain missions. Compete in their arena matches, destroy zombies, and their ships, to earn Respect and lower your Bounty level - or hire them to help you in missions and clear particularly tough blockades.The cutscenes/intermissions were narrated by TotalBiscuit, aka The Cynical Brit.A sequel titled Space Pirates And Zombies 2 released on November 7, 2017, after a year in Early Access. Set directly after the end of the first game, the galaxy has to deal with the consequences of the zombie overmind's destruction, as the first game's protagonists' struggle for survival in this new environment. Unlike the first game, the player controls a singular mothership from a third person perspective, battling against others in the galaxy for resources. Motherships are made up of modular parts that can be swapped around and positioned as the player sees fits, allowing for a wide variety of configurations.

Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_115d318	comment	And Then John Was a Zombie: Will happen to your ships if too many zombies get onboard and kill off/zombify the remaining crew. You can attempt to flush them (and your remaining crew) out of an airlock, but if you don't pay attention to your ships, they will quickly join the zombie ranks and possibly overwhelm you if they take over too many of your big ships.

Defeating bandits, stopping raids from other factions, and other helpful actions will increase their opinion of you. If they like you, they may aid you in battle. If not, they'll attack you if they think they can win. This also applies to individual captains, who will hold their own opinions of you. A positive value will allow you to recruit them to your faction.

The situation is never explained in detail, but the system itself is pretty much abandoned, save for a small mining base and a tiny UTA outpost. Sort of justified in that Rez is much more plentiful the closer you get to the galactic core, so most of humanity migrated closer to it.

Ship-wise, the Claw is this for the Tiny-sized hulls, the Cyclops is this for Small-sized hulls, and the Manta Ray is this, period. The Dual Turret mod doubles the amount of slots on a turret in exchange for downgrading the mount size by one level. In short, you get more firepower but less range. The Triple Turret mod turns a huge turret mount into three large ones.

Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The Fixed Turret Mod lets you increase the mount size of a turret gun in exchange for locking it in the forward position. The impractical part comes in when you realize that unless the turret in question is mounted dead center, you've just ensured that it will probably miss half the time. The suicide cannon and armored grunt shuttles deliver crew to enemy ships to disable them from the inside, provided you have enough goons inside a ship. However, goons are a limited resource and gathering enough takes a while, and said shuttles can be destroyed by enemy fire, so you're often better off just blowing other ships up with your weapons than relying on these.

That got them off his back and gave him the opening to infect the station, many of the surrounding NPC Captains, and kick-start his brand new zombie invasion.

Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: In Act 4, plain old vanilla missiles. Missiles are strong against hulls, but weak against armor and shields. Since zombie ships (the majority of what you'll be facing in Act 4) have no armor or shields but very high hull strength, this makes missiles fantastic zombie exterminators. It doesn't hurt that they consume almost no power, have very long range, and can track targets. Gravity missiles don't do a lot of damage. However, they are great at slowing down ships if they hit, which makes taking out smaller, faster ships easier, especially with cannon fire.

Cue waves of suicidal cargo haulers abusing their Self-Destruct Mechanism! Zombies are also pretty fond of this tactic, minus the self-destruction.

Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_4604fd4d	comment	Worthy Opponent: Jamison has shades of this. He actually compliments you after you destroy his Hammerhead in "Big Fish". The Bounty Hunter threat level is essentially this trope as a game mechanic. The threat level rises for doing attack missions and killing enemies, and is lowered by doing helpful missions like escorts. If the bounty hunters show up to kill you, killing them brings the level down, since you've shown you're a badass.

Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_638b65bc	comment	Armor Is Useless: Zigzagged. In general, armor is good for reducing the damage the ship's hull, or health, receives. So it's good in a pitched close up battle between two large ships. That said, bulky armor is a liability for a ship that you want to be fast enough to evade getting hit. And on a smaller ship, armor doesn't protect much against a larger ship's weaponry. The Mass Driver also ignores armor, and deals damage directly to the hull.

Crew loss will have a serious impact on the ship's self-repair abilities if it did have any crew beforehand. Shields never let damage through until they fail completely, although armour does. Ships close to destruction or being invaded also get slowed considerably, to a crawl when about to be destroyed.

Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_65ce79f1	comment	High-Speed Missile Dodge: Zigzagged with regular missiles. You can attempt to do this, but they will circle back and attempt to hit you again, unless you can shoot it down first, or your ship is fast enough to simply evade them. Played straight with torpedoes and bombs. Though they have some slight tracking ability, they don't move or maneuver as fast as a missile does, so if you miss, you probably lost that payload unless they hit another stray target. As a result, you're better off using them in very close range combat where the target doesn't have enough time to dodge the attack.

Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	type	Guide Dang It!
Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: Fighting the zombies requires a vastly different technique than fighting against non-zombie opponents. With non-zombie ships, you only have to worry about their shots. With zombie ships, or zombie-infested areas, the zombies in space that aren't shot first can hang around outside the ship, and if there's enough of them, they'll eventually overwhelm your ship and take it over. And if this happens too quickly, you'll end up fighting against too many ships at once. It might not be apparent at first glance that the mining beam stations use to break open large asteroids is available to you. You just need a ship with a huge gun mount to attach a mining beam to. The Bounty Hunter Arenas, in addition to forcing you into ships that are at best awkward and at worst outright terrible, often sticks you into puzzle-like situations where you have to exploit little-used game mechanics to survive. This includes knowing how to jettison armor to gain speed and turning off energy-draining beams so cannons will work better.

Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_b3b1115f	comment	My Rules Are Not Your Rules: You're limited to four ships at most, and that's depending on your progress in the game (you get two slots, minimum). In addition to being able to field ships you don't have (which you earn by destroying them), the computer can field ships you outright cannot build without progressing in the game, and they usually have twice as many ships as you in any given encounter. And they will Zerg Rush you every chance they get on harder difficulties and/or higher level systems. This is balanced out by the enemy being just as stupid as your own pilots and their loadouts usually being inferior unless you're picking fights outside your weight class. Additionally, one side mission in Act 3 has you fight against Admiral Jamison's new Clockwork-esque capital ship. Once you bring its health down, he orders a retreat. Normally, retreating ships can still be targeted and destroyed, but his ship stops taking damage before its destruction. This happens because the ship gets destroyed in a cutscene between Acts 3 and 4.

The game even lampshades it by saying you should choose the latter option only if you "like pain and suffering". This option however doesn't exist if you lose in battle against a zombie; presumably because you would have become a zombie and thus have the equivalent to a Game Over in a hardcore run.

This refers to an episode of The Twilight Zone (1985). "Power Overwhelming" for reaching tech level 100. This is the code for God Mode in StarCraft. The USS Saratoga is the only ship that the UTA admit self-destructed to avoid getting infested. The Saratoga is the name of the ship that always gets its shit ruined from Star Trek. The Hunter SRM scans for plasma trails left behind by cloaked vessels, since "The thing's gotta have a tailpipe."

This is hardly as easy as it sounds, though, since stations are usually very well armed and summon other ships as backup. It can be made easier through certain missions, which let you downgrade the ranking of the local Civilian or UTA presence, thereby making their station weaker.

Space Pirates and Zombies (Video Game) / int_f2e4d683	comment	Stealth in Space: Cloaking devices hide ships from view and allow them to deal as much as three times their normal attack damage with proper research investments, but reduce movement speed and maneuverability. They can also absorb damage like shields, but are much weaker. Until you get to a fairly high research level, of course. Then the speed negatives are removed and your 'shield' strength is enough to survive most enemy assaults. For some reason, cargo containers with cloaking devices are fairly common. Some missions require a stealthed ship in order to successfully complete it. Thankfully they're optional (except for one story mission), so you can skip them if you so choose. It is technically possible to beat them without a cloak, just absurdly difficult.
