What is the best race aside from novakid.

[Lennard]

I know people asked this a lot of time but i am still realy can't choose which race i should go. Honestly looking for the character had the best 1-8 tier ship(hylolt is nice),best armor look(i like if it's have a mask in headgear)

And the best furnitures(i liked these metalic and clear furniture that apex had. or like in the outpost)

[MongooseCalledFred]

The Glitch have full helmets. The Apex have quite a few masks. The furniture is either "craftable by all" or "anybody can find it," so it doesn't make much difference which race you pick for that. If you like the ship[starbounder.org], I recommend the Apex.

I second his opinion.

If you ever wanna pick up a race mod, I suggest Felin, (cat people) Avali and extensions (space raptors) or Elithian Alliance (space raptors, and 2 kinds of robots.)

I would advise my personal fav - Floran. They have the most chaotic ship which is actually wery nicely roomed when fully upgraded. On top of that YOU ARE A MAN EATING PLAN THAT IS RAD! :DD
Plus in the end you should ignor the visuals of racial armor because you have cosmetic slots to cover anything up. On top of that there is a universal armor set in the end game.

Also, you can buy the armor of other races from merchants.

You may want to look up the armorsmith mod, it lets you craft any racial armor regardless of what race you play as.

Novakid: IT GLOWS
Human: I like the humans sarcastic lines
Floran: Funny and favorite missions.
Glitch: Better than fish.
Hylottl: I forgot the apex existed.
the ape people: My least favorite missions. I also forgot they existed.

Aye, if you're most interested in the ship:

Floran have the literal best ship in the game. (for all that it is "supposed" to be the least-broken parts of other crashed ships welded onto the starter, it ends up with the overall best layout, and most total blocks of useable space)

The Hylotl ship got screwed hard, the least amount of space, and the rooms are all poorly shaped/arranged. ( and the textures chosen for it don't work all that well with the Hylotl, even if it was "intended" to mirror their high-tech cities)

The Avian "pyramid barge" has poor arrangement,
The Apex ship is decent, but somehow manages to do it blandly.
The Glitch ship is sort-of tied with the Avian, oddly laid-out rooms, but it has style.

And the Human ship manages to be odd in its own "special" way. (very, very, very much a "middle of the road" ship, nothing really good going for it, except not being Hylotl.)


Now, if you're after the looks of the player-sprite? That's entirely a personal preference.

If you're playing with Mods? A total game changer. everything from simply adding in innate racial abilities and traits, to changing the player's ship.

It really is mostly an opinion thing, and I've seen a few Hylotl ships that were great in spite of its innate shortcomings.

floran is the best

[bloodymonarch]

The only thing race matters for mechanically is your ship layout. I like the Hylotl ship, it's got the perfect balance of length and width.

Florans have the best personalities
