Hyper-Advanced Fluffy Space raptors

[Killerhurtz]

Not AI-phobic per se. It says it won't develop any. I'm seeing it in a more of a "AI-vegetarian" way - they probably don't mind it, they just won't make any.

To be fair, we didn't get ballisticurity, and we won't get this.

Pssst, what was the last time we got anything?Custom items?Yeah, some things weren't been done since may.

Let us dream!

Ballisticurity was a horribly terryfying thing im Estatic and celebrating it was denied.- I have hope for this and hope we get it it would be REALLY nice to FINNALY have a new race around...*cough* VAURCA, RESOMI *cough*.

[Guest]

It was never denied. Just put on a back burner and quietly forgotten because it's too much work. Just like both of those races will be. :^)

As for the merit or lack thereof with ballisticurity, it's just more knee jerk crap on both sides. A rubber sidearm with possible lethals for officers wouldn't be any different from having a bunch of detective revolvers lying around.

Tl;Dr "I hate change unless it's change I ask for."

Digging this back out of the ashes, because I am still in love with the idea of these guys.

[FluffyBirb]

Hurray! Birbs! I would apply to play as one of these if they become a thing in a heart beat!

You and me both. xD

We might still get these. Due to us updating to new Bay code

[Owen]

If this thing gets added, I will for sure get this whitelist. They seem really cool. Do you know if any lore has been written on them?

[Killerhurtz]

No lore has been written on the Resomi so far. But as soon as we get word that we're implementing the Resomi, it will be written.

All in due time, grasshopper. You can't water a peach tree before the seed has been planted.

[Owen]

Well... I mean you could water it before it is planted but nothing would happen. I really hope this becomes a thing.

[Dea Tacita]

afaik they're fully coded. Just stuck in Bay-12's dev cycle

[Skull132]

I'm just gonna throw this out there.

We have 6 playable ayylium races. 7 total. Not counting the less-fleshed out antagonist specifics (borer, xenomorphs). Don't you think adding another one would get a little ridiculous? Like. Yeah. Plus, while it's making an attempt to get away from the standard form of species, it's still a crew member species. Which. No variety added.

[Gollee]

Oh, what about revisiting Tool's Manticore species? As another nuke/heist style roundtype.

[Skull132]

I'm honestly thinking if we want another playable species, we:

• Remove/retire one of the existing ones.
• Go completely off the fucking reservation.

 

Like, how many times can NT meet another species and integrate them into the standard crew compliment to serve the same purpose as hunams? How believable is it, considering the wide variety that evolution is capable of producing. Better question: how fucking boring is it? Make it exciting, something completely fucking different. A non-crew playable species. Think, maybe, for example, something like the Keepers: non-human, definitely don't do shit that the crew does, but are still apart of the environment. Tracking?

Remove Vaurca or Tajaran, add this one instead.

[LordFowl]

Don't remove any races in favour of this one. The racevault is closed - no more entry allowed. Removing race A just to pander to people who want race B will make people who like race A really quite mad.

[Guest]

I wasn't serious. Taking away things, especially this new, is obviously a bad idea. But as far as species goes, only way Aurora could support more alien species is if we had an overhaul of the universe. A complete one. Or. If Aurora was turned into a zoo.

[UnknownMurder]

We don't need another race. We have plenty of race as it is.

We have:

IPC

Humans

Vaurcas

Vox

Unathi

Tajarans

I believe this is plenty of race, not to mention that from what I've seen the percentage in Skull's finding. There has been a low amount of people who uses other races.

[Filthyfrankster]

We have:

Humans (Master race)

Scalies

Furries

Ant people??

Fucking squids

Walking TV's

And maybe borgs??? if you're into that.

plant people

Unsure if those birb people (Vox) are going to be a thing, hope to god not we don't need space hebrew birds on crew.

Literally we have reached into every hell that is possible

jesus christ, everyone thought varuca were going to be hotshit but then turns out completely getting rekt from two laser hits is a thing and the hype was killed

I think a big part of why the races aren't as popular as they could be is that instead of playing 100% to the lore, most people just treat the races as more throw-away replacements for humans. Tajara are supposed to be treated like complete trash...but in a lot cases, you see people palling around with them. They're supposed to feel subservient in such a way as to never be good enough...but they wander around the station acting like top-shit.

If you don't like the Lore, don't sign up for the race. That'll tell ya real quick which ones are popular and which ones aren't. It'll help weed out races that don't need to be part of the crew, as Skull was mentioning earlier.

And as for having non-crew races...how does that even work? What, you get to play them once in ever 150 rounds as a special event character? That's...kinda lame. Even listed on the roster as 'crew' when in all actuality they aren't; the station hosts a vast number of civilian positions.

Cargo, Bar, Hydroponics/Botany, Internal Affairs, Kitchen and Bar staff? Technically speaking: civilians aren't Crew. They have to answer to the Heads of Staff like anyone else, but from a strictly militaristic vs. corporate point of view, the Civvies aren't "crew". They're just there to staff the departments that don't require super-specialized training, like Engineering or Security. So I'm not quite sure where this argument about another 'crew race' is supposed to hold water.
