what exactly is a nova kid? elemental being or something?

This is the race introduction provided in game (though copy pasted from the wiki)

Forged aeons ago in the fusion furnaces of a now-dead star, the Novakids are a perfect example of nature’s emergent beauty. These creatures, described by a human astronomer as “interstellar gas-bag people”, have no known single origin point: that information is long lost, as the Novakids have little to no desire to record their history, or even pass it on to their offspring. Though they are (generally) more intelligent and intuitive than the “fleshy” races, their attention spans are lacking – this does not make them any less effective in combat, but has the effect of restricting their technology research (and any groundbreaking research is forgotten within a few generations).
The force that drives the Novakids is contained within the brand on their faces. Charged with huge amounts of energy, these pieces of metal generate the hard plasma “shells” which stop their constituent gases from leaking – if a Novakid is depleted of his or her vital gases, the energy contained within their brand is instantly vented into the very fabric of space-time, leaving only a twisted metal symbol and a nearly undetectable warping of light around the area of death.
Since the Novakids have a short memory (and attention span), diplomatic relations can be strained at times; because of their completely different composition to other lifeforms, Novakids are sometimes unable to grasp the nuances of interracial social interactions, and have thus attained a slightly dubious reputation amongst other races. In particular, an Avian diplomat reportedly described a Novakid he met as “dense”, and elaborated upon his statement by mentioning that the Novakid in question had cheerily asked him if his god, Kluex, was real.

In my opinion they are humanoid stars with a skin-like covering that keeps their gases from escaping.

/shrug do any of the classis have any thought put into them? /passive/racial skills? or is this just a bare bones games still? so much has been promised so little delivered, Cmon CF i know you got the money to produce a great game with all your.... (that one lilfatguy) and lets not insert all the extra (profit) but you know you can deliver this game, stop working on games that will completely BOMB- get some education and learn from someone who knows, finish this. Whatever you do, cause its whats going to make you or break you. You have a very small/minute reputation to keep and heres where it starts.

You go first. :)....=)

i just dont understand how they eat. do they even need food? also, if they ever add body types in the distant future, how the heck would they get fat?

Whats making them have a ''solid'' or ''stable'' form is their BRAND in the in-game lore its stated that if a novakids brand is removed etc it will fall to the ground and a bunch of cosmic gas will forever orbit the area the brand fell.

Clearly indicating the novakids are indeed just pockets of gas held together in a humanoid form via a plug(their brand), much like a bath holds water with it plugged up.

Sentient gas, don't know how that works, but we already have sentient plants and all sorts of other weird things (mechs with penguins, etc), so why not?

The food thing can be ignored for now, because every race can eat any food without consequences and without regarding nutrition. I mean, I'm pretty sure a Glitch wouldn't really benefit from eating a hamburger.

Makes me think of Mass Effect's lore. When you think about it, different races are almost certainly going to have completely different body chemistries...what one race can eat might be indigestible by another race (or even possibly toxic).

Yeah when they re-introduce hunger i hope each race benefits from different food in positive/negative ways.

Like glitch eating metal food just fine but floran and humans unable to consume it or get a debuff for eating metal/oil lol

Some special novakid food would be cool too since every race has something to contribute to food but novakid dont.
