I want a dog. On the bridge.

[TheSisko]

.......why not?

Shouldn't man's best friend be there, sitting in the empty co-pilot chair, as you wage war against a wing of Vultures? Barking in anger at those who threaten its master? Whimpering in fear when the shields go down and the module reinforcements slots are reduced to steaming, black goo? Walking in front of the cockpit view, trying to get your attention on the way to Hutton Orbital?

After the battle I'd take my dog for a walk through the ship (with my space-legs of course) and feed it some animal meat. [big grin]

Of course, this should take priority over the rest of Beyond, so if the wizards at Cambridge could get cracking on this for 3.2, I'd be grateful.

 

[Cmdr Tel]

And barking at all the courier mission ships that go by, whimpering at every ELW or having to stop the SRV at every single rock.
Sure why not? I love dogs.

 

[LaTokk]

Dogs were all wiped out by an escaped biological weapon in 3263. An assortment of alien creatures suitable as pets can be found on various ELWs around the galaxy should you wish to waste the air, food and water on your ship.

I wouldn't mind seeing my mini doxie (Jaeger, a longhair mini male that is almost more dear to me than my wife) on the bridge with me...

Or maybe Martian Flatcats (from Robert A Heinlein's The Rolling Stones) would be more appropriate...

 

[GunnerBill]

No, dogs are stupid.

And smelly.

They think they can help, or be useful but all they do is get in the way.

The very idea of having a dog anwhere near a gunnery panel or heaven forbid - life support is utterly ridiculous.

So I say “nay”, NO DOGS ALLOWED!

P.S. I did this on my phone so please don’t doubt my sincerity.

 

[Demascus]

No escape pods for dogs, npc crew dont get one, fido does't get one... also no gravity on ships.

I too enjoy the company of doggos.

Yeah, but remember that you chose to participate on these forums

I'll get my coat....

 

[Arry]

Meh!

Only if I can have a pet human on the flight deck with me.

The attitude of some humans is just deplorable.

There was a dog in space long before humans had the nerve to venture there.

 

[Lightspeed]

Nodding dog for the fascia ?

 

[Der Zeitgeist]

I'd rather have a ship's cat. Or this cat, in particular:

 

[Hessfire]

Well, for that I know that HCS has a voicepack addon for that particular feline...

 

[Hell Razor5543]

I want a Barque Cat. If you read some of the 'Talent' series by Anne McCaffery you will see what I mean.

It didn't work out well for this dog..

But that cat was lucky and DIDN’T get to go...

However: For us dogs; she has become a goddess. One creature that we can really look up into the heavens and give thanks for her brave sacrifice.

If you can't secure vital ship systems when pets come on board, that's down to your carelessness, isn't it?

Laika wasn't part of my fleet - if it were, it would receive the rank of First Officer and enjoy all the responsibilities and privileges that such a position offers. [big grin]

 

[Le-Betz]

Usually I prefer dogs over cats, but I'd love to have a kitty like this on board:

Shouldn't need any mag-boots, right?

 

[TheSisko]

No escape pods for dogs

On your ships maybe.

.......why not?

you should ask the dog?
