can animals be killed/hunted?

[jack24593]

I'm presuming the gigantic creatures roaming the land we've all seen in trailers can be shot? I hope to do some intergalactic safari and big game hunting

You can kill stuff lol... But maybe you wont make friends xD

Smaller animal hunting we know is possible, but I haven't seen anything done on larger creatures. And if you didn't already know, hunting animals and other creatures can get you wanted on that planet. So BEWARE!! :3

I wasn't aware of that, I guess my new role is big game poacher...

being able to take down a sauropod sized animal with a massive plasma rifle is very appealing

Yeah depending on how expensive using ship weapons is, once I've explored a planet and discovered what I think is everything, I'm going to start murdering everything until the sentinels kill me. But then again, I bet in a ship you could probably just run away pretty easily. Unless perhaps there are anti-ship sentinels that spawn once X number of regular sentinels get killed.

There are 3 types that we know of.

Also to the big game hunter, apparently there are quite a few animals that will hunt you, not to mention the plants that will kill anything that gets too close, so I'd watch my back if i was you.

Jack, one piece of warning, take everything on the forums with a grain of salt, especially since the game isn't out yet, and there is a lot of speculation, and very little known fact.

Every thing spoken of here is confirmed from interviews with Sean. At night predators will hunt you on some planets and sentinels will attack you if you kill things or mine too many resources.

These are facts according to Sean Murray not speculation

Technically speaking, almost every species in the game is among the rarest in the universe. As they can only be found on one planet, and one planet alone. Unless you're also referring to hunting the sentient species. In which case, good luck serial-collector.

of course, it's fun to speculate though

Im going to try to be friends with the Sentinels and Animals so no problems here. Will be that Bounty hunter with a large plasma sniper Rifle looking for illegal Game hunting whichi get your loot afterwards. Though in reality chances of me ever finding a player which would be an excited moment one in a trillion chance if that!

I'm pretty sure Sean Murrey said in one of his interviews that there is no benefit to killing animals. You can't skin them, sell their meat or turn them into a trophy. I hope they decide to change this in the future, as I think poaching animals would be pretty fun.
