I definitely want to do xenohumans and, later, transanimals as joinable characters. Just to be clear. It just hasn't been critical priority yet.

We all would like more, humanoid and not, playable races in the game. A space game needs aliens/races.[/b][/size]

No. I would not.

Unless we consider some post-human abnormalities as different races.

+1

I've always hoped the current default description "A baseline human, mostly unmodified by gene engineering and mostly unchanged by evolutionary pressures on non-earth planets." was alluding to the fact that in future builds/final game other options, while still human, would be available.  While not alien I think having distinct human types would satiate some player needs for greater character variety etc.

Honestly i would like to see the ludites or joywires with some sort of physical appearance change. maybe vatgrowns with odd colored hair. since they are geneticly synthetic. maybe pink or green. a bit more diffrence among the cannon "races" if you can call them that. Luddites if im not mistaken are people who have Shunned Technology and Joywires are people who have embrased it to a point of being similar to the characters from the anime Ghost in the shell. with synthetic limbs or enhancements. i may be wrong. Vatgrown are synthetic humans geneticly grown inside tubes..

I would even go for fan made aliens wasnt someone making a startrek conversion??

Kinda agee, we dont strictly need other races.

One thing I've brought up before, which never got responded to is very MINOR differences between CURRENT ethnicities. They exist (black people better able to tolerate heat, nordic people better able to tolerate cold, ect) but it makes many people pretty uncomfortable to talk about. But considering evolution, if you believe that, theres reason to believe there would be differences beyond aesthetics, and even if you don't believe in evolution, theres evidence to suggest minor differences anyways. Nothing HUGE, just little tiny effects to heat resistances, or other stats.

I remember i mentioned this in a thread on sunburns, that black people should be more resistant to it...nobody responded but the thread immediately died lol

I've touched upon this topic in my Letter to Ludeon thread, plus a whole slew of other things. I'm amending the letter overtime, if I feel something else is missing. I might return to the Quasihuman section in the future...
