Let's not forget about mods, eh? Albeit some people might want to stick on vanilla for reasons involving multiplayer so eh~

I really am starting to think that the best part of this game by far is modding, the vanilla game is just bland and empty.  Once I added the Avali race mod to my list I realized just how little of the games' potential is being tapped by Chucklefish, combine that with the Peglaci race, ore farming, XS corp mechs, gardenbot, and suddenly what was in every way a boring, flat grindfest becomes an enjoyable experience.  I'm still not happy with how Tiy and his team are doing things, but as long as the modding community remains this active and diverse I'll try to stay with Starbound.

Integrating the modding api to the degree they did is probably one of the best decisions they made, next to the admittedly pretty great graphics. Have you ever shined a flashlight around in the fog in the dark. I can't remember if fog is in vanilla but the visual is excellent.

I am kind of annoyed that Starbound is going down Terraria's path of "Magic, Melee, and Guns" in that those are THE three specialties.

annoyed isn't the best word... disappointed.

Those aren't "The Three paths". You can build mechs you can have pets... but they aren't one of the three paths of advancement.

Also I am REALLY not a fan of the Nova Kid's spaceship. I am ok with them being a Cowboy race... but they have overshot it and are now just a joke.

Starbound is REALLY overshooting their jokes and are starting to saturate it. When Dungeon Keeper is looking like a serious game compared to it... >_>

I mean it was always there... Afterall the apes are 1982 and the Glitch are medieval (well in the lower tiers). I don't know there is just something waaaay hammier about the Novakids just flying an ordinary train in space.

I... Actually like the spacetrain. It looks good, and it feels like a throwback to some awesome steampunk stories.

The Birds have Space Pyramids but they actually look like space pyramids.

The Space Train... actually looks like a train :P

Well yeah it's a train in space. Hence spacetrain. Novakids may usurp Glitch as #2 in my heart depending on how they look/dress.

Eh spacetrain looks about like I expected, seems okay. The standard horse also seems okay. Shame they had to be prancing douchenozzles about the whole thing; I'd have been fine if both of these came out before horsetits.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Novakid is my favorite race by far. I'm a sucker for Western stuff, and that ship is /amazing/.

Oh, and the fact that they're starting with guns is a godsend and a half.

was wondering what you guys were on about with the novakid ship, so searched it and found this: community.playstarbound.com/index.php?attachments/ship-light-3-png.72824/

Then i found the actual one. Man was that dissapointing, that community one is so much better.
