    I'll do the human hoverbike based on their ship, the hoverbikes to me is more like a common protectorate or outpost thing :rofl: .

    I think that its not possible to do, or someone would have already done, but i'll do some recolor to the basic Explorer Pod once i'm done with the racial explorer pods, or maybe before i dunno :)

    no need human ? the first explorer have human design no (with the little logo we can see on starbound human mech ;) ) ?
    for next race ... follow your brain wave, your work design is really great for my eyes :)

    Novakid seems to be the popular one at the moment, so after that one's done, I'd like to suggest the Glitchpod.

    As posted on Steam, you should do / add also other type of vehicles like :

    - Tanks
    - Cars / Jeep
    - Helicopters
    - Blimps / Hot-air Balloons
    - Dirtbikes / Motorbikes
    - New kind of boats ( yacht for uber party hard ; exploration boats with the ship hold for diving suits / submarines )

    I've done also this suggestion thread some time ago, about the Vehicle Factory, used to craft stuff with mats and some other suggested mechanics :

    I've attempt a camo skin for "defaut" pod , i've see some players ask it on review so i've try , use this picture as you wish :

    I'm better about modify than create but it's already nice (imo) , but you may need to change some details maybe.

    Also very good work on your ship sprite, i'm impatient about glitch one x)

    thinking about the floran design, maybe it could be a big hollowed out seed/venus flytrap? you could also take one of your other designs and "naturefy" it like how the floran ship is just cobbled together from the other races with plants all over it, also if animations arn't to hard, for how its hovering you could have a pair of leafy "wings" flapping at the side, or just stick to it having a engine from one of the other races explorer pods.


    *EDIT* also if you do decide to go a more organic route, rather then the cobbled together look, I suggest having roots/vines dangling down off it, implying that their pod was grown like a plant rather then built, which is most likely what the florans would do if they didn't just steal parts from other peoples explorer pods for their own :)

    Can I give a sugestion?

    All the pods until now looked like variations of the first pod, with general appearence influenced by the race they belong and thats cool and ok. My sugestion is for the Novakid pod.

    Although a locomotive is a vehicle and the Novakid ship is shaped like a train, I feel that a better look for the Novakid pod would be one that is a variation of the human pod but with a SteamPunk feel. Like these:

    Just my two cents on this awesome mod of yours.
