It was probably made to be a penis-like instrument, but that doesn't mean it's neccessarily offensive or an unnatural occurance among aliens.
Right now, for REAL, there could be an alien race in the universe that looks something like that.
I thought it was a valid enough creature not to be immediately flagged as offensive, if I was going to flag any creature I come across.
looks like an upside-down scorpion or something. I'd probably give that creator the lowest rating possible, so that I wouldn't recieve anymore of his creatures...
That makes me think about the rating system, like Will was saying, it acclimates to the individual user, a lot like the way Amazon.com works.
So that means we probably have the option on each species/planet/plantlife we encounter to give 1-10 stars or something like that...
I wonder if thats in the "Creature Encyclopedia" menu, that lists with cards the stats of every species you encounter. hmmmm
how do you guys think that will work?
