    Novakid

    no.va.kid [noh-vuh-kid] IPA: no vuh kɪd

    noun, plural no.va.kids, no.va.kid. In: Intergalactic Races

    Definition:
    1. The best race in starbound.
    2. Still the best race in starbound.
    3. Space cowboys, the best race in starbound.


    Now we're here t'discuss how being a plasma-based, duster coat wearin', revolver slingin', asteroid minin' clint squintin', rootin' tootin' space-cowboy is the best way live it out in the wild, wild west space.



    This here's a list of things I've gone and compiled on why we're so darned good:

    You robot folk can stick around this thread if it please ya. But keep it clean, keep it slick, keep your oil off the deck and keep it Novakid.

    Also good themes for Novakid race anyone?

    Thanks!

    The ol' cowboy community 'preciate that,partner!

    I just wish I could now make a Novakid in the character creation to show my gratitude!

    I've made one of every character so far - :) It seems to me they all have a lot of variation (Except the monkey characters) . Because of it being a new character I hope the Novakid doesn't suffer and only have a few features/variants.

    Personally I'm looking forward to the different brand designs, think it holds plenty of potential.

    OP forgot to say that they are retarded.
    __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    their attention spans are lacking – this does not make them any less effective in combat, but has the effect of restricting their technology research (and any groundbreaking research is forgotten within a few generations).

    And they seem to suffer the Asperger-Syndrome
    __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Novakids are sometimes unable to grasp the nuances of interracial social interactions

    These are the downturns of that race for me personally. But I might still play one since I want to at least try every race. Not to mention that the look of them is very cool.

    So, people play novakids only because of the Wild west cowboy stuff?
    Also, so what if they're "retarded"?

    I like how they have symbols as faces.

    I wish you could make custom symbols. Then I could use my Arkane Seal as face for a character. That'll save a lot of trouble with not liking human hairstyles.

    I wouldn't be able to stand calling them NovaKID if they weren't a kid.
    Alternatively, I've been calling them No-vak-id.

    I want to know if that because they are living stars if you can use them for space heating?

    Just wait for the official lore for the novakids. They're not retarded. It seems that a lot of forum goers mistake the novakids lack of interest in technical progress as retarded-ness and adhd. They're more interested in personal gain in the short term. They're very much like the gold rush miners in the days of old.

    Besides all of this is just text, you can have any backstory or roleplay your character any way you like.

    The Novakids are
    erratic, reckless, shortsighted, selfish,
    chaotic, and forgetfull.

    So pretty awesome really they would add a lot of color
    to just about any adventure.

    Thankfully if you insult one they will probably forget about it in a few seconds
    so at least you don't have to worry about them holding grudges.

    If you would rp them. The only point wich may be tecnnically realited is the forgetful one through research tweeks. Making them slower or restricting it. Just sayan.
