It is a bit sad that all the other races get a cool wacky personality in their ships, but avians (without mods) have to deal with a pile of crystals that sometimes change brightness. I'm not saying get rid of the crystals completely, some people might like it, but it'd be nice if we had a choice of what AI we could get. Maybe we could choose from another race's AI, or there could be different AIs available for each race. Maybe even just a universal AI.
Sounds interesting, i would even expand it. Why not adding advanced options where players can choose the ship, AI and Pet combination they want to use. Would add some QoL.
Yeah that's all stuff I'd like. I hate the default avian ship too, the pyramid style makes it hard for me to do cool rooms, swimming pools, or tenant areas.
Thats really something a simple mod could do. Swap out some graphics and you got yourself a different AI, ship pet, or ship. Not saying we should rely on mods, and if the dev's decide to add such a feature I wouldn't be mad or anything. But if they don't, its not exactly a total loss.
I installed the A.V.I.A.N. mod but I still feel kind of cheated having to rely on a mod (also the grammar is super bad sometimes and it makes me cringe).
