It would be cool if every race had their own homeplanet, It would be a base for quest and merchant and would be truly unique, why I like random generated worlds, it would be nice to have some Coordinates with something special and unique. Why not have a planet Creation contest for each race, so the developer wouldn't really need to put that much effort in it and the community had some awesome planets Thanks for feedback
Maybe as an endgame you could return to the planets where your race lives as a badass, or defeat their curent ruller
I'd like to see that. And maybe you could visit some home planets of the other races too and maybe do some quests or completely annihilate them and take all their stuff. And maybe become their ruler yourself!
Yeah this is a cool idea but mine is something different. How about there are several sectors with cities on planets and the city type is different depending on race, and then there could be goods ships traveling to these planets.
Apex can take on Big Ape on a fortress planet of skyscrapers, Humans can drive the Beast From Beyond The Stars from the Earth That Was, Avens can find their 'god', Glitch can find the Creators, maybe a massive war for Florans and Hyotal?
Citty planets would be a good idea too, I started reading all the lore on the wiki and they talk all the Time about big homecitys (the citis in the game are often built by people who fled the big citys) but I really like this idea to:: shawyant and there you could upgrade your ships or buy new ones? I would really love to see some great city planets in the game (thinking about Corusant with underground etc)

There could also be mini games on the cities like poker or something and thats just for a human world. The cities, if any are put in the game, should vary and differ depending on which race city it is. I too was also thinking something like Corusant or something from KOTOR or Mass Effect if you ever played those games.
If implemented you should start with your own races, and be able to get other races home world by reading there books.
Yes but the ability to actually interact with the city and the surroundings, like npcs, buildings, ships, maybe have a few underground gangs, poker minigame, etc. and other races could have different variations of these. My point being is the city's feeling real is what really counts, not just you and a bunch of empty planets with a few monsters.
So I'm just summerizing: If there were City planets they would need: Shipyards to upgrade and improve your ship (maybe buy a new one) Interactions with NPC Minigames (poker, made up game, darts?, Gambling) Quests Trading Different Factions Need a Citys Feeling Unique Maybe you find the coordinates through reading books become the ruler of this planet/race Lore related quests/ take back your homeplantts Keep posting some ideas, the bigger the Thread, the greater the chance that this gets regogniced
Yes the things above are a must for planets or at least some part of it since we don't want devs to put in planets with a city but all the people have no interaction. THAT is what we dont want which is why i'd rather wait for a good city system than a quick half-a**ed one. Now for some new ideas. Implementing a military system would greatly make the game more interesting and make it feel more lore friendly, perhaps space pirates, or signing up for a race's military on a military planet, perhaps help a human space station fend off aliens since they just declared war. Plus planet taking, since having humans own alien planets they could keep it like that or terraform it and you could witness a terraforming, or perhaps the humans would keep it and add a touch of human race to it (imagine skyscrapers in the jungle!) A military system could bring a lot of tension in space which would be very cool. I was also thinking space pirates maybe?
I also think thats are great Idea's. Because my bad english i have not read all the posts - i hope my next idea is not already written: Planets with citys should be like an special type of planet with something written about in the shipcomputer, like: Cold alienplanet with big city of Humans - Or something similar.
http://playstarbound.com/what-to-expect-from-the-next-update-1-0-and-beyond/ in this dev blog, they actually DO mention making starter planets for each race, so... WISH GRANTED! congratulations.
