As you probably now, right now in Starbound, by default, everything is automatically placed into the player's left hand. On the player selection screen, I thought it would be a good idea if you could pick to either have your player left, or right handed. The select would look something like this:
It's literally just a matter of flipping the left-facing sprites and using it for right-facing movement, and vice versa for the right-facing sprites.
It doesn't matter, even if it's placed in right hand, when you walk it'll be in your left, the only difference is that it swings on right click
