    Too late. 7th one is already confirmed.

    There's already going to be one more, and this is a silly question because more would definitely be better.

    You should have added "depends" and ask why. If it's just visual differences, don't see much point. If they have inherent passives however, that's a different story.

    I feel the flavor could be mixed up a little bit more, although I'm not sure how.

    I think when racial traits are released, it will be a lot easier to tell what we need to do.

    Yeah, I feel we could use some more races. I don't REALLY like any of the options I have for races, so I just ended up choosing human.

    Racial Armor Bonuses (last we heard):

    • Humans - Extra Inventory
    • Avian - Glide
    • Apex - Higher jump + faster movement speed
    • Glitch - faster mining speed
    • Floran - convert sunlight into extra energy
    • Hylotl - breath underwater + swim faster
    • Novakids - faint glow (no armor needed)

    I want there to be as many races as there are players. I think the big thing about starbound is playing it YOUR way.

    Reptilian people. Then insectoid people. Then other sci-fi cliches. I wanna be a bug.

    I believe more races would also mean more unique armors so yes, I would love more races.

    I'd love to see some races with made-up cultures... Like... a crystal race with crystal stuff...

    also there are a lot more races that could still be easily covered; one of the biggest suggestions I've been seeing is a cyberpunk race of genetic modified persons. (so the race in a whole could have a wide range of animal parts, but also be the origin of the weird/random monsters that seem to magically inhabit every single planet..)

    I kind of want a race of Little Bit Beastly people. Not full furry but have animal ears and tails and you can pick your ear and tail type.

    From what I've read, this isn't an armor bonus, and doesn't effect lighting in caves or whatever, I don't think the Novakid armor bonus has been talked about yet.

    being novakids are going to be cowboys; I think it's safe to say they will have somekind of range weapon bonus; or some kind of bonus with taming/raising creatures.
     
  15. But they also resemble stars, so it could also be something to do with light or fire.

    More would definitely be better.

    I'm pumped for Novakid, they're so creative...

    I can only imagine the creativity level of other races we'd be seeing if more were to be added. Not to mention... Anything that adds' more customization and options to the player, I'm all for 100%.

    I say another race could be a penguin race, and not ones the size of the normal character. So it would be likely able to get through 2 space wide gaps, but to counter it being so small/body shape, it would only be able to wear chest/head armor.

    There is a reason that I explicitly said it doesn't require armor.

    It is, however, the racial trait.

    Which ironically even if it would likely be a weak one, isn't really fair when none of the other races have racial traits, and shouldn't have a glow without racial armor.

    More races! There's still a lot of room for more. We could have insectoids, reptilians, and completely alien looking races. The cool thing about aliens is that they can look like almost anything, but they at least need to have a humanoid body.
