    Is the weapons he sell will be randomly generated, generated based on something (how far in the game you are, your armor, etc) or be set in stone?

    It might be a useful shop for speed runners if it set in stone as sometimes you can't trust the RNG.

    oh... Thank you very much. Guess it will be one of many things to look forward to. :nuruflirt:

    Sweet now we just need an upgrade system for when we want a certain look of a weapon and not just stats. Awesome job and great addition. Keep up the good hard work guys/gals!

    I'm pretty sure it is already in the game.

    That is really cool, Are those bows or boomerangs on the right side of the store? What ever those weapons are they look awesome and powerful, I'd also really like to hav ea viking penguin on my crew, Wouldn't even care if the penguin was a lazy one that does nothing other then looking cool.

    Even so, I am one of those that is awaiting the 1.0 for the full effect and changes. I really quite curious on the story, changes, and various other things they have done since the Giraffe version that I stopped playing for a while. Mainly due to a lot of other games coming out, and how distracted I get. I can say though it is the patience in wanting to start a new character with the full content on the horizon that entices me to be even more patient.

    Still nice to see things I haven't seen before in my short travels. I mean the last time I played the current version on the main branch I have discovered a good chunk of new and exciting things. Loving every bit of it, but have decided to await like quite a few in order to have that full experience anew. Which for myself will be quite easy, due to how my mind works.

    Thank you, as that is a good notion even if the case. Guess I didn't explore enough, but I'll leave it to when the next one hits. Not letting my virtue of patience go to waste. :nuruwink:
    Note: That and I am stubborn in my patience...

    If only there were some kind of system whereby you had extra slots you could put armor in to have a purely visual effect, instead of affecting your stats...

    This pretty much confirms 100% that penguins will be a playable race. I don't know why it does, but it does. Maybe I just really want more penguins. Rideable penguin tank mercenary friends perhaps. Or maybe it will never happen and I'll cry for hours on end. :cry:

    @Superfast103: interface/windowconfig/charcreation.config, speciesOrdering list up top. Add "penguin" and you're done. Of course, you'd need to have a blank button for 'em too, so perhaps take my character creation extender mod and edit its copy of the config file for the same effect.

    I cannot and do not guarantee the penguins will work.

    I wonder if he also sells the blueprints and rare parts for some weapons, and hopefully the "Legendary" weapons get some kind of value, I find a lot of Gauntlets and they have no sell price.

    Sorry but I am very doubtful they will ever be a playable race. They seem to be the neutral men for hire type of deal. Armor and even some weapons would be extremely weird on them. I'm sure there is a mod that could force it to work but it is clear that the game doesn't designed to have them as a playable race. All races share the same humanoid shape and even size. On that note all unplayable races share the same issue:

    Alpaca - Lower body is too different.
    Agaran (mushroom people) - Technically speaking could potentially work though and have the highest chance of being a playable race as only their oversize mushroom heads are preventing them from being such.
    Frogg - Overall body and head size are too big, only the legs being somewhat usable maybe.
    Penguin - Too small and have the least chance of being a playable race as they don't seem to be designed to be such even in terms of lore.

    Basically if something doesn't look like a human reskin then it can't be playable. Well not without modding anyway.

    Just a sort of irrelevant note because all the updates keeps getting me more excited and all, is there an ETA on when there'll be an unstable patch? Or even estimated ETA? (I know there's the nightly build and all to check out but, I'm talkin' the stable/unstable builds!)

    I hope server security and optimization is included in the "polish"...

    maybe not mercenaries/crew but maybe a tank of course i'm not speaking for ChukleFish when i say it but it would be cool to have a tank you could ride.

    this is really cool! it seems like buying rare weapons will be a bit expensive though, will we be able to make a bank for our pixels later on in the development of this game? dying often would make saving up for a weapon difficult.

    there sorta already is, the pixel compressor turns pixels into voxel items that you can refine to get pixels back but it only gives 60% back. Which to me is fine except for the big difference. I think 75% is more reasonable but still lol

    not an actual real looking viking hat but a more impressive one lol.
