Some players want to pet a particular color and create a new character over and over again. Some players do not want pet. I propose to improve the character creation menu. For example: P.S.: When I painted this menu, I noticed a smaaaall difference:
I agree we should be able to choose our pet and customize it in character creation, and I also think we should be able to choose our default ship design too and change both along with our appearance later in the game if we want to try something new without creating a new character. For now there are mods for these things but the option should be available in the default game.
I'm developing an idea about a editing of the ship too. Expect soon on the forum Upd.: My new suggestion: http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/ship-editor.119611/
Currently Im working on trying to figure out a way to implement pet Customization with my own Character Custom GUI and stuff based off the original (look is inspired by your idea ;P Keep in mind, this is all /actually/ in the game thus far So if you want me to add stuff Im open to sudgestion, atm im just trying to figure out how to add the pet related stuff
Best I can help is the required place to start would be going inside each race's humantechstation.object and changing "shipPetType" to a string that can be configured. From there setup that menu to modify the configuration value.
Actually I recently updated it and now im thinking of making it so you can pick your ship as well (though i still have no idea how to implement the pet or the ship thing yet)
I indeed have, i was just thinking of adding this as a basis, and you could change it Via your Idea whenever during the game ;P --- Post updated --- Naaah, Takes up Waaaay too much space, i was thinking you could just slide through the pets/ships, and im pretty sure 60 slots (excluding the main 7) is mooore than enough
