    Bring them on!

    I'm holding my breath until Stage 1 Beta comes out.

    Let's talk about steams new download management system to pass the time!

    In my opinion there are some pros and cons to consider.

    Pros
    • Long term downloading (i.e overnight) of multiple items is now possible
    • No longer have to pause items individually when not trying to download
    • Ability to prioritize downloads
    Cons
    • Inability to move downloads on list other than placing them on top
    • Unable to download single items without removing all but the desired item from your queue
    • Auto updates forces items into your queue which you may not want to be downloaded at this time
    But I would love to hear some of your guys opinions!

    I will play till I get bored. (Or until I decide to play BF4 or COD GHOSTS...) [Most likely that latter... And that will probably be so I don't get bored of Starbound... (If that ever happens...)]

    A.K.A.
    I WILL PLAY FROM STAGE ONE AND BEYOND!!
    ONWARDS AND UPWARDS! ALLONS-Y!!

    Well it's gotta be progenitor, but how am I going to balance all five lands in my deck..
    Guess I could just double kaleidostone and colourless land.. Yeah that'll work.

    Change the flashlight into a sonic screwdriver or just have a sonic screwdriver flashlight. Done.
    I'll get my friend to start working on it right away.

    Oh trust me, with Tiy being a Doctor fan I think references are a given. And talk of Doctor Who mods have been around since Starbound was announced.

    Gotta have a random character generator for every death....GOT TO

    No.

    And the sonic screwdriver is gonna take a bit to make. The beta isn't even out yet, so we're gonna have to wait a bit first...

    I would mod the matter manipulator in to the Sonic Screwdriver, turn the ship in to the Tardis and change the hyper drive animation so the Tardis is spinning through the void

    As as already mentioned, make it so each death randomises your character in to a new human skin
