Melee or Shooting

Both, of course. Actualy i would suggest to make meele weapons more effective versus bosses, but it seems it is what gona happen. In terraria, we can be damaged just from touching boss, in starbound it wont be like that, so all meele weapons gona be more effective. Just need make sure, then can do some great dps.

 

I loved, in Terraria, the boomerang type weopon. I hope we see something similar here.

 

melee

 

Ranged is probably better above ground and melee in tight tunnels.
Maybe I'll use a ranged weapon on left click and melee on right click.
Then again the shields seem really interesting, too!

I'll probably switch around a lot.
As for the poll I vote... both. ha!
Just because I can.

 

Vote bit incorrect. Need make just 3rd option, called both and dun let people chose multiple. We would probably see result as "both" dominating.

 

Both, but probably melee most of the time.. easy to use, and I just like it, since I'm used to using melee weapons.
I like shooting stuff, though. It's more fun, but my aim is worse than a rock.. no matter what.

 

i choose both I wish for a power sword/axe/claw/fist on one hand and a good old bolter an the other now that makes you feel like a God

 

Umm...Clearly depends.
I have a personal bias towards long-range weapons, like sniper rifles (which are already confirmed), but melee weapons are fine, too.

Although, I would probably turn out to be just an utility-support sort of player, ultimately.
I clearly play too much Pyro in TF2.

 

Same but i be rolling with a handgun and a Katana in the left.

 

I think I'd consider myself a melee user, but I'd rather have more ranged weapons as they have more ways of being unique. For instance I think a bow, a pistol, a rail gun, and a couple melee items would lead to a funner game, rather than an entire arsenal of swords and flails. That's not to say a variety of both wouldn't be great, in fact I believe the devs have said the weapons are randomly generated, leading to thousands of possible variations.

 

Mostly guns and bows. I gotta have dem guns.

 

Melee... I think... Can't be so sure yet.

 

Im more of a ranged person meh self.
