Listen im pretty sure the devs have already answered this idea, but i'd thought I would reassure myself. This is a space exploration game, I really hope you're adding in Lovecraft's Space Gods. Cause i'd be PRETTY DAMN DISAPPOINTED if you didn't or references to them, kinda like the opening I think for the humans. Basicly what im proposing is more Lovecraftian Bosses and Stuff please. I shall now prepare to be yelled at.
If there would be Lovecraftian monsters in Starbound, then it settles it, i will have to find a way to legally marry the game.
Lovecraftian enemies (e.g. Elder Things) and bosses (e.g. shoggoths) would kick all sorts of ass and would definitely suit a game about space exploration. Careful where you go... sometimes, the stars are right.
