As the title says, will there be any new races added to the vanilla version of Starbound? I'd like one more race just to fill some gaps and round it off to an even 8. Also, I know this is a question and not a suggestion, so let me rephrase it- You should answer the question that I just asked and/or add an 8th race.
Thats what mods are for. More official races means more work on random dungeons and towns for them which takes away from real content that needs making. The 8th race in lore is said to have been killed off, which is what the empty space on gateways are.
The problem is that I don't really like the mod races I've seen so far because they don't seem to fit with the feeling of the vanilla Starbound races.
And the solution is to learn to make your own. Chucklefish has better things to be working on, like the combat overhaul, lore, fleshing out the existing races more, etc.
what about the oscuras they fit the lore http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/meet-the-oscura.19343/
