    ...But why would they put themselves on equal footing as the other races, instead of being above them? Unless there are two precursor races...

    Precursor does not necessarily equal arrogant, which is a mentality that's kind of getting incredibly stale. If anything, in the lore their actions make them out to be an incredibly helpful race, raising entire civilizations and even creating the Glitch entirely themselves. These are certainly not the actions of a race that sees itself above others.

    The gate could have been a creation of theirs intended for the benefit and hopeful unity of all of the races they'd come across and helped. A new, secret race honestly seems a little far-fetched. Chucklefish has been working themselves ragged on all of the other content, and they haven't even finished up the entirety of the Novakids yet! Heck, technically not even the Hylotl. A new race at this point would just be leaning towards feature creep, and I see no logical reason why that should be the immediate conclusion everyone reached when they saw this.

    Doesn't mean they're not planning an eighth race, just that they're not making it right now.

    I think the next race is-

    Darn, Serenity said it before me.

    It's obviously the Creators, and their faces have been removed from the Gates by the Ring of Thorns in conjunction with Big Ape and his Miniknog, possibly with help from Greenfinger and [REDACTED].

    Why another race at all?
    Aren't there more important things to work on?
    I can use mods for as many races as I want.
     
  10. @shaun4519 please watch your double posts, as they are against forum rules.

    It's just a discussion risen from the empty spot on the Gate image. Not a call to arms.

    You can say the same about every other thread here. Does that make my point invalid or unfitting?
     
  12. No, it just makes it derailing in the context of THIS thread. So refrain from derailing. If you have issues or concerns -- or really need your voice heard on the priority of game features -- make your own thread, or find a thread in which your opinions contribute to an already ongoing discussion.

    Fair enough. Even though there are no relevant discussions going on in this forum anyway.
    You aren't one of the original Starbound Staff members, are you?

    I assume the race they implement will be a furry addition. They should add something like boar/pig-humans imo.

    Explains itself, you seem much nicer from a first expression than Mollygos and er ilk.

    Also I just got the idea, it's a penguin race. Definitely penguin race.

    Redneck mollusks in ghettorigged mobile homes turned rocket ships, that or the radioactive undead remains of some long gone race, fueled by nuclear paranoia and 50s style B-rate scifi tech on a quest to beat the Russians apex in an arms race that the apex aren't even participating in because they're miles ahead and don't care... Bonus points if most of said species foods involve monster brains.

    Also... Hi bonabopn! <3

    Nothing personal, but I'm going to vote no on this one. Do you know what happens when you combine cats and a sandbox game? It isn't pretty, unless the precursor race comes by and changes the sandbox every week. And even then? It isn't pretty.
