    Not getting that reference for some reason but I love the cheap minimalistic hazmats they wear ^^


    To bring the thread back to the rail (or attempting to (which probaly fails)):

    The current distribution on favourite races might change when the racial armor effects are added to the game.

    If humans are just able to "carry more stuff" and wont get changed like promised then I really see black for seing humans on multiplayer (or atleast seing people using human armor). That advantage seems to be kinda... boring compared to higher run speed and jump height, breathing underwater, gliding and photosynthesis. Same for the amazingly unamazing ability to mine faster with glitch armor, though that might have some nice uses.

    It's a reference to the game series "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." (call of prypiat, shadow of prypiat and whatnot)

    I wonder what kind of armor and effects the Novakids are getting.

    When the Novakid are out I'll play as one, Right now I play as a floran or avian. I tend to see a lot of Glitch or Avians, not much Apex on the server I play on, the owner is a Floran character btw.

    Same here, they have quite an interesting concept and would actually love playing as an energy based entity. But there isnt much revealed about them so I am really pumped to find out their racial armor bonus

    My favorites are Avians, Hylotl, and Glitch for their cultures. Each race is very well-made, to be honest. ^^

    Kind of necroed, but I have no problem with that. Never understood why anyone did.

    Figured that I might as well point out that the the Starbound wikia has had a poll going for a while that asks what race people play as. Humans are in the lead with nearly 22% of all votes; next highest are the Glitch with 18.44%. The Florans, who have a hefty lead in this poll, are trailing with a measly 15.7% in the wikia poll.

    A necro is fine if the post in question is on topic.

    Oh, I know, I've read the rules. It's just that some people complain whenever it happens, and a lot of other forums have rules about it (which I've never understood). You'd think that one centralized post per topic is better than an endless parade of small repeats.

    Florans are selected most often since they have good lore and are quite interesting with their accent, and have very beautiful structures and buildings, armor too.
    Avians are similar, because they also have some nice lore along with their looks.
    Glitch are one of the most popular because they look so great and the mid-evil theme is one that many people enjoy.
    Apex are not often chosen because their character model is apparently 'ugly', but they do have great tech.
    Humans are sometimes chosen because, well, we are all human and some of us like to remake ourselves in the game.
    Hylotl are not the best looking race, and this is why barely anyone is seen playing them - plus their personality irritates some.
    Novakid, who wouldn't want to be a space cowboy that looks like they are made out of the sun?!!

    Overall, i don't think certain races are chosen just because furries like them, i am a furry yet i dislike playing as anthropormorphic creatures in most games, i quite like playing Floran due to how beautiful their armors and buildings are.

    I would argue that there is no creativity in playing any race you had not made up, because you didn't create it. If you play a Hyotli, you're still playing someone else's race. That isn't creative.

    Florans of course, most interesting and deep story development so far and generally cool looking.
