  1. It's impossible not to be. The most we can do is try.
    Then let it be a picture.

    Let it hang in the art museum.
    Or as I like to call it "The Lost Arts."

    The robots -- they have no gender. If you have a look at the video Tiy posted -- http://nl.twitch.tv/tiyuri/b/343742697 -- then you can see that there is female and male in the sense of power plugs :D It's kind of amusing. Zoom to 26:30 to see what Sal'rith means, if you don't know.

  9. I mean, the alternative is to have flat chested humanoid versions of that race. Which, without the only female signifier available (breasts) will appear male by default. It's equity, dearest blackwoodleaf.

    Starbound wouldn't just be a picture without him; it would probably just push back the release date a few months. There are other people coding the game, you know.

    The question here is why NOT have a female for each race?
    Also scince when have people not wanted a female to have breasts!
    You sir, are a sexist!
    I for one prefer there be females for each race...for reasons...erhem...
    Besides why wouldn't you want to have females for each race. Without it Starbound would feel...incomplete...
    (I had other words but chose that one)

    Seems like my only posts in this thread were off topic, Let's amend that.
    The more then likely reason that every race has a female version is because for the most part, nature likes to follow a pattern,
    And pattern consists of mostly male and female counterparts,
    As for Robots, Well it's just there for patterns sake.
    Besides, the people who are playing this game are the human species, And we do in fact have male and female counterparts, Because of so we will more then likely want to align ourselfs with the same gender class we have. I am one of those people and would be slightly annoyed if I couldn't.

    And as for the reason why every race has boobs,
    Well because boobs.

    Well, Florans are a unisex race, so I'm 93.6% sure that robots will be unisex as well.
     
  14. I don't think it even has to be about nature or symmetry. The game is made for humans to play it. Some humans are ladies. Ladies often have breasts. If I play some race that isn't human, I would at least like the option to have my character share some feature with me.

    And besides that, who doesn't like choice and variety. Boys can be girls and girls boys and so on and so forth, unto the end of time.

  15. There will be the option to make lady shaped florans with breasts (I've been typing that word a lot)

    In the latest livestreamed video, the character generation screen is showed off (approx. midway). Robots are shown to have two "genders", though they're symbolized with plugs. And I think I saw somewhere that there was gender choice available for Florans, too. Even if they're both unisex in lore, the game still lets us choose a "gender", probably for aesthetic reasons.
    There's one for every game, even for those that don't allow regular mods. You would be surprised (and quite amused) if you ever saw the list.
    Kinda moot, since players choosing the gender opposite to their own for in-game characters is a widespread phenomenon.

    Oh trust me I know...
    I know very well some of the things that comes out of peoples minds,
    Things that would make a sane person abhor in it's nature,
    But I see the beauty in it,
    Even if I don't personally love it.
