    It was pointed out quite early why they floated.

    You guys really like arguing about the same stuff alot, don't you. Amazed this thread made it to 15 pages considering how little there is to say on the issue (no magic in Starbound, wait for a mod.)

    That doesn't matter when they were pointed out, the point is that you will be so amazed about that when you first bloody see it, it will seem so impossible, but when someone explains why, you will not have that feeling anymore. (that depends on what kind of person you are)

    Then we have very different views on science fiction, because I was expecting anything out of the ordinary to at least have a passing mention at how it works.

    Powered by Tim Curry Clowns. Thats how it floats.

    And this topics made it to 15 pages because its a controversial subject. People love debating over stuff like this. Theres no worries.

    "This is what I mean" is what I am suggesting, and the exact opposite is another thing. I am not leaving that until SOMEONE will give me a legit answer to my question that I've asked before AND give me a legit explanation why not. Don't start by explaining first. THEN I will shut up, because that unanswered question drives me crazy.

    Well, look at what Bioshock 1 & 2 did... They did a fine job.

    I say no, without reading any of the arguments.

    Answer: No.
    Why? Devs said no magic.

    Happy now?

    Alright, I had to sign up just to make a statement to you HURR MAGIC NO NO morons. What Kickball is proposing is not akin to Harry Potter, which he has stated so many times, so stop playing semantics, and realize that his statement makes loads more sense than your insipid 'counter-arguments'.

    The starbound forums are already magic.. I mean Obsidia is a talking mop.
    Anyways You can have magic, that is really science.

    See, say this the first time, while it makes you look boring for not having a reason, you look far less dense in just stating that it's not happening.

    Sadly enough, the devs don't have all the say. Provided this game ages and runs its course, as all games do, mods will be created. This thread does indeed serve a purpose as a content creator. So as we both to go our different ways, we will have to do so with very separate ideas on the nature of sci-fi. While i'll enjoy a relaxed, casual gaming experience I can only hope you come across certain game elements that prompt you to rack your brain for a pseudo-intellectual response as it so clearly often does. Dark times indeed mr.potter.

    So you signed up solely to add nothing to the discussion of something that won't be part of the core game and instead just to insult those who want a sci-fi game.

    Actually, the devs have the final say on all matters relative to the core game, which is what this thread is about. Had it been a thread about modding magic into the game as opposed to becoming a core element then there wouldn't have been any problem. Is it wrong to want a science fiction game where technology is the focus and not some sparkly fx coming out of someone's extremities?

    No, I signed up to correct you, because you're taking the term 'magic' too literally.

    And furthermore, the 'sparkling extremities' part was entirely your mention, no one elses.

    By calling me a moron? What excellent debating skills you have.

    Judging by what I've read, you're not really one to debate with, but if you want to banter back and forth, shouldn't we take that to a PM?

    Exactly this. I'm fine with a mod, as it won't take time and focus away from the game I desire.

    While you are technically correct in saying this, it more looks like 2 kids fighting to get the last word. Let's leave it at this and go back to the topic at hand.

    Magic is not one size fits all my friend. Thats what stretchy pants are for.

    But as no one disagrees when I use the general concept of magic, I must assume that is what people are after. That concept of magic, with no explanation or any logic behind it whatsoever is what I will continue to fight against.
