Subspecies

[TheMilkDaddy]

can you create more than one species and customize them how you want. I would like to see if there is any way you could reference deadspace or mass effect 3 into something this big.
Not only would that make it a bit more interesting to have choices like that, but it would make the game more interesting if you could create colonies like that.

I don't think they are going to do that, specifically the game is around just you and your ship, and how you influence factions.

[TheMilkDaddy]

its kind of a cool idea that you could create many different species and have them under your control

The Devs have said it won't happen though.

o ok
well i mean eventually there will be a community that will add things like mods and other things

[McGilligan The Third]

Considering that you never actually see any people, just the ships, it's fairly easy to imagine that certain factions are of an alien species if you really wanted to play that way. And as mentioned someone will probably make a mod for this sort of thing, even if its just an extra thumbnail in the HUD.
