Here's my idea/s MISSILES OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION! (someone probably already made this post sorry for that) OK. So Missiles/ICBMs/Anti-ship/Intersteller Missiles will be shot from a platform, maybe depending on kind. Different kinds of missiles ranging from toxic to emps to nukes, or maybe something even better then a nuke to can cause proper destruction like a sir . (By the way I am watching the Hunger Games for the first time, wow i know and Rue just died) emps could shut down ship or base's vital systems. And planets could have anti missile missiles (what what) or orbital anti missile cannons. But even if 99% of my ideas are left out it would be great to see some way to wage war on other planet and players from your our home world.

Why all write so many ideas about star wars and destruction? Starbound will be unique exploring game. In Starbound players will can to explore world, do quests, find some strange and fun animals and so on. I am extremely against battles like ship vs ship, ships vs ships, ships vs planets, planets vs planets... There are many other games about hate, destruction and space battles
Well after I posted this I realized that. I then thought that the war and stuff could be a gamemode or something like that. When i read your post i was kinda embarrassed that i typed that
Because as long as there's two people in the world, someone's gonna want someone dead. Or at least inconvenienced. I wouldn't mind planet-based antiship weapons, if space battles are implemented.
Ok, first of all, the Florians are all about tricking and then killing other races to steal their technology and kill out all the other races in cold blood with no regrets because they're heartless. Humans were drove from their home planet by giant monsters. The Glitch kill each other if one of them advances. This is a violent, murderous world, so it would most likely have war in it. But, missiles would probably be out by this time in space age. The technology would be way more advanced, making missiles obsolete. They could be used as statues, though. Maybe a weapon, but probably not.
I don't think them being less advanced is an issue. There will be some aliens in the game that you encounter only using spears, or others with flintlocks. You will continue to find different planets with different levels of technology. A missile, while obsolete, is still deadly. Plus, your enemy may caught by surprise.
And how advanced would you have to be to render missiles obsolete? Remember, a missile's performance is linked to your propulsion tech, so you can't ever permanently out-speed a missile. Further more, it doesn't decrease in effectiveness at a distance and can correct and accelerate midflight.
Sorry, I made a mistake. I actually meant to type TOO advanced. Missiles by this stage would be TOO powerful, capable of destroying entire planets. Maybe they could be used to destroy planets that you don't like. And maybe you could also use older tech to use less powerful ones.
