    Just like the title says, I think this would be a good thread to make speculations in, and also a centralized area to talk about the thing you'd most like to see in Starbound. Any nifty observations you make are more than welcome here, too. I'll update this little thingy as I think of more things. I've been watching the game closely, and will only watch it closer, now.


    Speculations:

    • I speculate you can donate to the Space Hobo for a rotating stock of junk, but with a chance of finding something really rare.

    Wishlist:

    • I hope that each planet has gravity modifiers (But I doubt that's planned at the moment.) I'm also hoping that world generation is much more random than it was on Terraria. Terraria had rather strict limiters in terms of world generation. I'm hoping to have planets that could be stricken with huge chasms, craters, or be riddled with mountains.
    • I love the planned random weapon system, or procedural generation style. It reminds me of my favorite part of Borderlands. What I'm hoping for, is modifiers that completely alter a gun's personality. Instead of just barely altering damage or rate of fire, I hope for arch-types that could greatly increase rate of fire while lowering damage. Such as how Borderlands had regular revolvers, and then Chimera revolvers which did random elemental damage. So while a rocket's broad array of random choices are there, it'd be nice to have a separate array of random choices that could, say, cause a rocket to fire 2 projectiles.
    • I also REALLY hope that NPCs are not always capped to one type. Every bunny in Terraria had 5 HP. It'd be nice if what I said above could be applied to living things, too. Maybe there's a chance for a bunny having 50 HP. Maybe, if we're talking about enemies, there HP is randomized by a loosely limited array. Their damage output could be randomized via a much stricter array, while still leaving room for variation. Simply put, maybe that outlaw hit you for 14 damage and had 50 HP, but his little buddy was bigger at 80 HP, and did 20 damage, while their other friend had 120 HP, but only did 10 damage. Damage variance would be nice too. I'm obsessed with random.

    Each planet does have different gravity, I don't know if its dependent on anything like size or density though.
    And I also know that some (dunno about all) mobs are randomly given "mods" such as a mechanical eye, a different tail etc, but I'm not sure if this effects HP or anything.

    I sure hope there is monster breeding for the ones you catch.
    I hope there is a good farming system too, that would be amazing.

    YES PLEASE, I love under water stuff. Not enough games do it.
    First and last time I mention Terraria but I always wished for sunken ships, dead pirates, mermaids giant squids.

    Just imagine the possibility in this! Enemy subs and giant alien fish!

    I hope to see sunglasses! And that the characters can be used from Game to game, like in Terraria.. (Galaxy to galaxy)

    #1 thing I want:
    As much customization as the game can handle.

    I know we're already getting it for characters, I'm curious as to what other sorts of stuff I can paint a rainbow of colors.
     
  13. I hope that there is octopuses. Sharks,too.

    It would be cool if your character can mutate, just saying. Growing tentacles out of your ears..... >: D
     
  15. You just made my day.
    That gives me an idea. Perhaps there could be a creature that latches onto your head and drains you life?

    And you made mine by saying that.

    My hope is that we have access to Wiring and Mechanisms right off the bat. I was very excited when they finally came, and I feel like many custom maps suffered because of it.

    Also, more support for texture packs would be nice.

    I hope they focus on creating a cohesive, compelling experience rather than just adding as much inconsistent content, features, and requests as they can.
    I also hope it doesn't just end up being Space Terraria.
