Based on the human dungeons, it may be supporting the military to claim a world as the humans' new home world

avian mission should be interesting

um
i don't have starbound yet if you're referring to me as "16-bit" on that list
you sparked my interest for it again though, might buy it now actually

its a different person, unless you're him


A new sneak-peak.



A little bit showing the expansion of the Novakid ship.
This is the second 'carriage' (although it's actually a second train engine at the back), and presumably future additions will have similar designs, or simply look like box carts.

What might irk me however is that the pattern of other Race Ships might not fit the Novakid design.
In all the other extended ships we see massive rooms, which make the ship much thicker in areas, giving the ships a big belly and back, and usually a streamlined face, as in this Hylotl ship from the Nightlies.


So, if that's how it's going to go, then how will train carriages work? It'll just be unsightly if there are massive fat carriages at different elevations from each other.
I would like to imagine that the Novakid ship could very simply land on the grand, even on a train track big enough.
And at the same time, it seems like having a massive long chain of identical rooms might get very very boring.


On another ship note however, you can also see how the initial design of the Novakid ship has changed, at least at the back.
Compare the back of the Pilot Ship in the new picture, with that of the old picture.

With the new fancy lighting systems they've been working on, I certainly hope they do too.
And that the colour is based on your 'skin' colour, and that if you wear clothes it'll block light from the covered parts of your body.

It doesn't need to be as bright as a torch, but at least a bit of light, like that lantern on a stick back-pack item.

Edit: Oh, and forgot to mention, latest dev news says that they've begun working on Tiered Guns for the Novakids.
They've also been working on UIs, text and similar things.
And now Quests can be handed in at a location, rather than being completed (and rewards given) at the exact moment the quest objective is met.

as long as they actually glow, like their skin better be visible in the dark.

if not they will just look like glorified colored cloud people

Ignore all my musings, and feast your eyes upon this;


I don't mind it too much, but I am a little bit weirded how ever carriage has it's chimneys and things, which would only really make sense for an engine car, rather than a cargo car.
