Novakids and Space Trains?

    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knew why Space Trains are the ships for the Novakid. Is it in some lore that exists outside of Starbound? Is it just what CF came up with for their ship?

    I'd also like to know how Novakids and space trains are related if at all on a different level than just what the lore says. Is it because Novakids are kind of like a gangster cowboyish race (judging from the pistols and hats) and trains were very prominent around that time?

    Novakids are my favorite race as of now, so I'd just like to know more about them if there is some stuff that I am missing.

    Would you rather them fly around in a saloon with rocket boosters strapped under the floorboards?

    But it would kinda lack storage space... unless the horse is huge and they are inside it? But then we would have all those horrible "inside a horse" jokes!

    They might have probably wanted to avoid "Trojan Horse" and its more modern references.

    Honestly, I'd prefer to see a caravan/wagon flying through space.
    They always referred to Star Trek TNG as "Wagon Train in space", let's put a wagon train in space!

    A billion times yes. That way they could drink on servers and start shoot-outs in their own ship with their friends.

    And then you upgrade it to be an entire old western town, floating around in space...

    Bonus points if the captains quarters is in the brothel, its good to be captain of the space cowboys.

    Guess with it being a Spacetrain, we'll have to settle for Spacetrain robberies.
