What will your playstyle be?

a ranged space nomad

 

I have no idea honestly. I typically play Fantasy RPGs, and in those I play Stealth Mages if the game allows, pure Mage if not.
However, in Starbound, I know that I'll be playing it Stealthy, but as for combat, I have no clue.

 

Well, after a few hours getting my barrings, I'll find a nice water planet and set up my base. Then I'll travel outward, stripping planets in a circular pattern from my base of all materials.

 

I was going to say support, but you know what, screw it. I'm going to do what I do best! *Which is loot the corpses of my fallen allies when the die trying to loot the corpses of their enemies... Daggers can always help too*

 

imma be a farmer. because some people like harvesting bodies but i like harvesting fruits!(and human brains). i dunno...this game seems like it caters to a lot of playstyles

 

Depends really, in Minecraft I usually do the farming, then I mine and pick up the slack wherever it may be.
And depending on what mods we play/use I build machines.

 

In Terraria I enjoyed understanding how potions worked, what they were good for, how they were made and how to farm the ingredients, so I'll probably spend a lot of time with that, if something in that similar manner will be in the game! Most friends I knew were too lazy to bother learning about potionmaking due to complexity or something, so I liked learning it so I could feel important and make potions for them.

You know the feeling when you know something that someone else needs to know but doesn't? Lovely moment.

 

I would be mostly melee, with a powerful and fast (murumasa) melee wep. Would also have 1 ranged wep to take care of my ranged needs. Guessing glitch gets some kind of medieval ranged weapon or maybe a robotic arm laser, idk.

I wonder if they'll have an equivalent of murumasa with feral claws o3o

 

we dont have enough info to decide. but if it were like terraria id be a ranged nut who cant shoot for shit even though its his job

 

Definitely ranged, with all sorts of guns and whatever else there is. Although in Terraria I did enjoy some melee weapons, too.

 

I've decided I wanted to be the brute for the playthrough me and my friends will be doing, so I'll be handling the 1-handed weapons with the shield. However, when the time seems right, I'll compromise defense for a 2-handed.

 

Medic with combat spells at the same time, a mage. Maybe a dual-wielding sword kind of thing if I do not have magic on me.
