I claim full responsibility for the orgy altars though.

Is good addition, though. Fits with the sixteen genders and the wasps. I will not say orgy altar is best altar, but definitely in top, say, three. Not sure what other top two are.

Am totally curious what else they're going to add, though. Guessing at least one bug, but beyond that...?

Want race of cousin Its. Hair everywhere. Skittles beard as potential action. Would be best thing.

Hehehehe, I did the chesticles. It was funny, admit it..........

Anywayz, aside from furries, anime tentacles, abs, ritualistic altars and stuff, what do we really want out of this game?

I want napalm grenades and flamethrowers now. I posted that too. Not necessarily to see if kittens can be used as flaming tools of death, or to see if a simple "burning beard" temporary mod could be made, but those would be acceptable as well.

See, we're actually quite broad minded and thoughful on this forum. Burning kittens, beards, and chesticles, all from one guy. No wonder the developers pop in here so regularly to comment :)

On the less depraved side, I just want more interesting player races like the Avians and cool stuff. And lots and lots of customization.

Same here. I'm kinda hoping for some sort of aquatic or underground race. In such a large universe, there should be plenty of playable species.

I wonder if we'd find like, volcanic planets. Where everything is black and red and everyone wears gas masks.

Even the penguins.

Basically, almost every planet is going to be a possibility of me just going oh MY GISDM over it. Volcano planets, and pretty much every kind of planet~

I hope there's a Wonderboy style thing going on on the volcano planets. Seeing them erupt in the background and then dodging falling rocks and lava on your playing plane was one of the best bits of that game. Perhaps even some missions that will cause this to happen (or not happen), depending on what's going on could be added in.

There might not be a place for skateboards or tomahawks, but I hope there's a place for Wonderboy style volcanic eruptions in Starbound.

One completely off-the-wall thing I think it'd be fun to see in Starbound (given that physics seem to at least sort of work) is a physics-controlled melee-fighting flying machine a-la Hammerfight:

I loved that game very much, and it seems just about outlandish enough to fit right into Starbound's premise.

Well, there's touted to be mechs and jetpacks for planetary things. There's no reason that there's not other options. Some mechs could fly, some could bash through stuff, some be helicopter-ish. Who knows? The thing I think of when I read "mech" is a big, two legged robot thing that does anime stuff. I hope that they'll veer away from this stereotype and make mechs modular and procedurally generated for different game universes.

I'm hoping for these transport classes:
Mobile Space Station=home, everything can fit in there. It's what you use to get from planet to planet.
Lander= transport from station to planet. Everything going to planet fits there (groups of people, pets, resources, etc). Not controllable (except possibly landing point/biome).
Mech= mobile transport of all types. Cars, flyers, walkers, jumpers, helicopters. Might carry more than one person. Might be highly armed. Will carry a bit of stuff/people/pets, though limited. A controllable, planet based transport, possibly with big guns.
Jetpack= jetpacks, wings, rocket boosters, hover platforms, hang-gliders, skateboards, hover-bikes. Anything that is just for you, your gear, and anything that you can personally carry. Plus you can carry it when not in use. Maybe with some fairly light weaponry built-in.

If done with a similar system to weapons (procedurally generated graphically and stats/ability-wise as well), transport could be a very cool thing indeed

Well, we have confirmed jetpacks, so there's that.
Personally, I can see the ship that was shown on this picture as a landing craft. Otherwise, what the hell would a ship with passenger room to spare be doing on a space station? Or maybe the ship is a pick-up craft, and they use drop pods launched from the station to go down to the planet? It could be upgradable too; first level is just the pod, level 2 has an empty storage unit in it (maybe it could have some limited equipment, like a pistol and a few shots), level 3 has some form of prefabricated starter base in it, and so on.

It'd be pretty cool to be able to fire yourself from orbit down to the planet like a complete badass. Plus you would risk falling out of the empty tubes if you're a clumsy fuck, or someone pushes you out for being an insufferable cock. Maybe we could even have it so you don't die instantly, but you take damage until you're dead, so that someone with a high enough damage soak and health bar could fall from orbit and land on the planet like a meteor, just because they can?

I'd like drop pods.

I'd like trains.
