Variable Statues This suggestion is a simple one. Just make different versions of statues. You see the stone statues on the "Pre-Order" Section for the highest tier..? Its of stone, yes? So I thought, maybe we could add a wooden version, glowing version etc of it? Or maybe add a variety and it could be a picture to be hung on a wall. Or make it large-scale and build it in the center of the town(so you can feel proud if that statue were to be you). Maybe in hologram versions, you could make colored versions of the person. I might stray from the concept of statues but maybe allow the statues to animate, maybe in some special version. Statues can also take on forms of action such as while swimming or crouching or better, wielding a sword. And while we're at it, why not carve some words at the base of the statue? Some sort of memorial. What do you think? Want some large-scale statues? *Note : If you are voting on the pole, the second option : 'N' meant 'Nay!' meaning no.
Yeah, I think this is a great idea! But it might also be true that they are already working on it ;P If they aren't though... I hope they see your post because this IS a really good idea.
I like the idea of having a statue being different sizes. Maybe you could have mini statues that could fit on shelves?
Any variation of statue would be fine, whether it be a different material or shape. I'm 99% sure a similar idea will be implemented, maybe concentrated on a sci-fi theme or heading towards a 'medieval' Glitch-like set of statues. Maybe both?
Perhaps you can have statues of any enemy you find, plus some fantasy creatures ('cuz I want a dragon statue on my ship.) just turn the model greyscale and give it a pedestal. Hmm. . . I think there should be a random chance to get a statue of any picture in the game (Possibly besides UI elements, though that'd be funny.) You could get a greyscale Starbound logo, a tree, the cheese preview that appears in the crafting UI, a Florian striking a pose. This would be pretty easy to code, I believe, just put a filter over the item that turns it greyscale, or if other items are used, different color combinations are used.
I'd prefer the statues to have the same colorability system like character bodies, you know, you can have your avian red or blue or green for instance, so imagine statues beeing colorable to look like any metal or other material. You know, iron statues, gold statues, Supermegakryptoniteunobtanium statues...
Would you select what color you want it made from? Or would you have to get the materials to make it? I think the latter would be cool, so that my Kryptonite statue of Superman was made from real Kryptonite.
Poor super man. Anyways, yeah, I say, based on any material you want, but would be cool if you could just build a basic stone statue, and then craft it together with some metal or wahtever to create a specific variation of it.
Kinda like gilding, taking cheap materials, and then coating them with something more valuable. though i'd hope that that wouldn't work with transparent materials like Kryptonite or glass, you have to get loads of that stuff to make a crystal statue.
