  1. For me I like the Glitch perk because I will be gathering all kinds of stuff.

    But overall I would have to say Hylotl's ability to breath underwater is awesome.

    Man, the apex bonus is nice for exploring places, which, I imagine, will be the bulk of my starbound life.

    Avian because of the fact I can act like Kid Icarus.

    I think they're mostly situational. Hylotl would be great for exploration in a planet with a moderate amount of water, but otherwise is useless. But I love breathing underwater so it's one of my favorite.

    In terms of combat, the Avian and Floran are tied to me.

    Indeed, extra run speed AND jump height is like being able to be both Mario and Lugi at the same time :)

    Glitch Armor Bonus FTW!!! (Shamelessly biased opinion cause i'm gonna be a Glitch.)

    I expect to be doing a LOT of Mining, & i'm currently thinking my Homeworld Base is gonna become a vast Underground Base. :)

    Human Armour Bonus, obviously, because it is pretty much always useful. That and I'm a kleptomaniac.

    I figure it'd be for the ranged armor.

    Personally, I would go with human, mostly because in about every game that has a inventory, i run out of space in about 20 minutes of less, I collect way too many items, lol. :V

    looking at the choices in the poll objectively, novakid is the best without question. why? well, quite simple. there's multiple ways to look at it:

    1) novakids get TWO bonuses. innate (glow) and armor set.

    2) novakids get only a single bonus, but it's innate (meaning they can equip any armor and still have it).

    3) novakids glow isn't actually innate, and requires the armor set. it's still the strongest because light is the strongest stat in the game.
