My idea is to have each race their own opening theme to introduce their race by trait, culture, and ambition. for example: Apex would start narrating about their race origin, the physical deformation, minikong,the rebels, and their ambition toward science Hylotl will introduce their traditional oriental culture with colourful lamp and their bushido and war with the floran Glitch being an automaton created by the unknown they managed to gain sentience caused by a glitch breaking their unity and turn each of them into an individuals The in the second part the narrator will start referring themselves as the protagonist giving small background and how they managed to escape their own planet. for example: (by using "they" i refer the character gender neutrally) Avian will start introducing themselves and their struggle as an unbeliever. being disowned, banished, and hunted they barely escaped from those fanatics Humans might begin explaining the cruelty of war and the USCM and how they got separated from the others Novakid will start by explaining their ambition to explore the boundless sky and how they managed to engineer a ship in order to escape the orbit from their home planet The Last part will connect toward them waking up/catching their breath after somehow arrived in orbit of the planet called "Eden" Now i won't say anymore about this as i am aware that the story won't be changed any further and i know the player would like this as a starter kit to understanding the lore of starbound.
Considering that the Avian, Floran and Human actually have "finished" opening cinematics as is, and narration is actually a likely possibility because cinematics files have the ability to play audio...
Yeah, this is something they should already be adding in the next update. We've been shown pictures of the intros beforehand on the blog, and i remember that they were particularly proud of the person who they hired to do the voiceovers for the intros. c:
I was trying to make it close to the narration style of endless legend while self introduction is not necessary, a narrated background for each race would be great
As I said, three races have completed cinematics. Here's the human one, which is disabled like the other two.

@Mackinz Thats what i'm literally looking forward to, an intro similar to the endless legend or cortex command
