"Beaky Mark IV" starship boon

5 people marked this as a favorite.

I was lucky enough to win one of the 2 boons to use the "Beaky Mark IV Experimental Starship Frame", a rare destroyer frame for SFS adventures (Tier 3-4 or 5-6).

I'm hoping to connect with the other winner of this boon by private message, to collaborate on ideas for aesthetics, quirks, names, and all that important stuff, to add more flavor to an already awesome ship.

The best part: it's equipped with an "excessively loud horn" for announcing its presence when entering atmosphere. (I'm open to suggestions for a few bars of appropriate music to blast down upon an unsuspecting alien world, to let them know the Starfinders have arrived, in style. So far I was thinking something in the vein of AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" or "Hell's Bells".)

Thanks to the Paizo team and volunteers for running the charity auction and raising money for good causes.

Although this need not be how your Beaky Mark IV sounds, Thursty and I tended to default to a loud 18-wheeler horn. For the past several weeks we've pantomimed sounding a truck horn as shorthand for "Brace for awesome impact." Okay, to be honest, we've never defined what our horn-sounding motion means. Beaky tends to speak for itself.

Either way, we're thrilled that you're enjoying the boon already.

No ways man, the only logical choice for announcing your arrival is "Ride of the Valkyries". Ride of the Valkyries.

You need loud squwaaking to announce that you have arrived.

This too was my thought. I suggest longhorn horns attached the the front of the ship... or super large extraterrestrial versions thereof.

"Uh, so uhm, you know, this is like, the ah, future and um, why not ah, have ALL of the sounds for the ah, horn? And ah, make it really, really really loud, too, even louder than um, loud. How do um, those uh, humans say... 'turn it to 11'?"

Also, congrats on getting the boon! John and I had a lot of fun coming up with this one. :)

Heart of Dixie, like Burt Reynolds had in "W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings".

I'm just pleased to see Beaky live on in the distant future.

The Dukes of Hazard horn that would play whenever they jumped their car.
