Changes: Rockmen

Revision as of 19:50, 9 January 2014

The 'Rockmen' of Vrachos IV are rarely seen and are known for their fortitude.

The Rockmen, as they have been nicknamed by humans, are called so because of their unique skin which according to scientific experiments can be nearly as hard and rugged as solid rock. Additionally, the Rockmen are extremely well conditioned and physically strong to compensate for their thick rock-like skin, giving them an astounding resilience. As a result of their physical attributes, the Rockmen have evolved throughout their race's existence into a warrior race which values personal strength and martial prowess over nearly everything else. While the Rockmen are generally not an adventurous race, and can only be consistently located within their own territories' borders, the Rockmen are liable to open fire on any ship they encounter that they aren't familiar with. Still, there are always exceptions to the rule, and having a Rockman on your crew can be very beneficial.

Rockmen cost 65 to hire from Stores, and have the following special traits:

+ Immune to fire
- Movement speed is halved
+ Health is increased to 150

Their increased health make them useful as both defense and Boarding crew, as they can outlast any other race in one on one combat, except for the Mantis, unless they are experienced combatants. Their extra health is also great for fixing hull breaches since they take longer to suffocate. Their immunity to fire obviously makes them perfect for putting out fires, and Rockmen can be devastating to enemy crew when boarding enemy ships in conjunction with fire weapons. Also, from random occurrences, some Rockmen seem to be quite religious.
