With which game would you fuse Starbound?

    I would say either Terraria, FTL or Cube World - or a mix of all of 'em.

    Terraria because CONTENT. Terraria has literally been overflowing with content ever since the 1.1 update, every playthrough for me seems to have something different, something unique and interesting. I'd like to see that for Starbound (plus, lots of Terraria's items could be remade as techs / items themselves.)

    FTL because SPACE BATTLES. Having multiple people on your ship desperately run from station to station would be quite fun indeed. Would be interesting to have it so that the ship's status can only be viewed from the Overview Terminal, making it that you need to designate a "captain" to tell people where they need to go and what they need to do.

    And Cube World because WORLD GENERATION. Cube World's generation always seemed quite expansive and massive to me, and I kind of wish I could use it in a sandbox game such as Starbound or Minecraft. Mountains in Cube World are mountains. Cliffs can be quite significant in height. Plains are flat. Lakes are.. well, you get the point. The generation in existing Sandbox games always felt lacking to me - in Minecraft, a cliff is only up to ~60 blocks tall. Starbound doesn't have it quite so bad, but the theoretical merge could make it so much better

    Mass effect for it's premise of story telling and detail. Plus I like dynamic choices.
    Maybe fallout or skyrim for it's stealth and more dynamic combat system.
    The Dev team is improving both, so I should be pleased soon enough. :3

    Cube World. Why...? Well:

    Cube World is an awesome game, there's no denying that. With the awesome combat mechanics, land generation, and all that, Starbound would fuse so well with it. Two fantastic games in one. Of course, there would be a tough decision between if it would be 2D or 3D.

    If they decided to fuse two sandbox-like games, or another company did; I would recommend them to choose them two games.

    If they really did a fuse, I think Maplestory would have the best results as they are both 2d. One problem down.
    I would like a nice quest-story-line that gives items with each quest.
    A level-up skill system that allows you to allot affinity points to.
    The ability to enchant weapons/gear to make it stronger.
    Party quests (that can be solo'd on offline mode) that has some sort of goal such as protecting someone, going through a system of maps to fight a boss at the end.
    and some other stuff I might have forgotten.

    Sadly, I don't think that can ever happen for a lot of reasons. :(

    But well, nothing stop us to imagine it!

    I'd just like some RPG stats/skills you can power up with.. Armor to increase stats is fine and all... But I want something that sticks with the character stats/skill wise.. It helps differentiate between Floran A and Floran B aside from looks.. Having one person who likes to build and decorate get a boost towards doing what they enjoy (+range) can do that while those specialized in things like mining and combat gain bonuses in respective category.. Essentially it helps flesh out the characters a bit more for those RP oriented.. Also, for those who aren't! Some people like to build more than they like to mine or fight for resources.. In a group setting, you could allocate tasks and have fun playing the part of SB you enjoy..

    TL;DR- Starbound + RPG mechanics.. So essentially (insert RPG here)..

    Yes, of course it wont happen, but if the possibility occurred and the fusion of both games was made, that would be awesome.

    If SB could make every planet as robust as terraria and have SoTN character progression, exploration. ... It would be one of the best 2d games of all time

    I would like to see it fused with League of Legends by Riot.

    The simplistic combat of risk of rain would actually fit in starbound perfectly.

    Space engineers. So I could travel between planets with my custom, 3-d, physics-enabled ships. And crash them a lot.

    This is going to sound very weird, but I would pick Runescape. I would love to see those skills being put to the test in actual pure survival. Only problem is... the mining aspect isn't as friendly as it will require, but everything else is ×D

    I Pick Chrono Trigger, and KH 2 I guess. That would be the best game of all time!

    Any game with even more randomly generated loot
    eg: Borderlands, Diablo, Torchlight, etc

    Maybe add some character leveling from those games as well, that would be cool

    Can you perhaps elaborate? :)

    Star bound might benefit in the ship or biome changing aspects of the game if they took a merging of ActRaiser. Particularly the village mode.

    Metroid. Oh, a specific game? Fine, Metroid Prime 3.
