In starbound at the moment, there are seven races. At the gate there is a place for an eighth. I'm starting this thread because i have ideas, as do many others, about what we want with this race (if there even is one). Personally I would like to leave most of it up to the devs so that it's a surprise, but there are some ideas I just need to tell others, because I want to know how good they are, or if they are likely to happen. When it comes to the next (possible) race, I don't really care about how they look too much, I'm more focused on the tech and ships. Throughout my playthroughs I never found a race that fit my playstyle perfectly. My recommendation for the next race, is mostly on there tech level, which I believe should be somewhere around the mid-1920-30's. The next race should have the feel of a mafia to it, with tommy guns and baseball bats. The armor would be suits, and when you got to the higher ranks, instead of getting metal plates, or more knight like, it would become nicer looking like gettinh gold trimming, or having the jacket loosely on your shoulders. I would like some feedback or other suggestions to go along with how I envision the race.
Well my mind is already corrupted with the plenty of race mods there are, I have no predictions for the next race because honestly I've seen so many great race mods it's hard to poke at. Tiy share a photo and there are already many speculations for the next race. But your idea didn't sound bad, Guess we'll have to see.^^
That slot belonged to a race that was expunged before the game takes place. So there's not going to be an 8th playable race
If there were indeed a eighth race, I would have liked to have some kind of ghost-armor, with technology that will be a mix between Castlevania castle and Tron universe.
I would add this race because I love dragons and developer worked a lot of time on it For example: http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/meet-the-drale.18980/
After Starbound is officially out of Beta New races might get added to the mix. I don't recall any of the Devs ruling out the possibility.
