First off, I'm fairly new to Starbound and just created my forum account today. Basically, what I'm saying is that I don't really know the inner workings of this community. However, I certainly plan to learn, as I find Starbound to be a refreshing and addictive game. So, with that out of the way, I have no idea if Chucklefish plans to include another playable race at some point, but if they were, I think it'd be really cool to see a pirate-themed race. Their ship would obviously resemble a pirate ship to some degree, and they would have traditional pirate weapons such as cutlasses and flintlock firearms (to make them balanced in-game, I'm thinking the flintlock weapons should be slow-firing, but pack a relatively high damage-per-shot rating). I just think it's a really cool art-style to use on a playable race that will live up to but not overshadow the other styles. I also have no idea what the race who would inherit this style would look like, or whether they'd be some kind of anthropomorphic Earth animal like the Avians, Apex, and Hylotl, or whether they'd be their own thing altogether. I'm super open to suggestions, and that's the entire reason I made this thread, so feel free to share your thoughts, opinions, and ideas! (Also, if this thread is in the wrong location, please don't hesitate to tell me so I can move it to the appropriate area)
Steampunk is cool, pirates are cool, It would be really cool if there was a steampunk race with piracy being a major part of it... I'm working on one myself as a matter of fact, but I don't really have enough feedback to know what needs work. You can check it out if you want. It's the Sallok one below. (Though if you are, I would really appreciate some harsh criticism. I need to know what's wrong with it.) http://community.playstarbound.com/...vi-et-sallokei-say-hello-to-the-sallok.93660/
