Indecisive, What race do you play & why?
Curious which of the races do you prefer to play and why.

Sorry i'm still not even 50% on remembering the names of all the frackin races.

So far i coasted along the starting world for a Skath character (water based with assault rifle crit) and then i tried a shadow person (glows in the dark and fights better in the dark)

Now i'm trying one of those elder dragon people, they have 2 cool starter techs and have unique health & defence scaling on hot/cold biomes and favour crystal and aether sea.

The thing is frackin adds so much content that it seems dumb to play multiple races attempting to achieve end game on.

I usually like to build a huge colony on the first planet your ship breaks down near and then i like to build smaller colonies on planets i like.

So doing that on multiple characters is going to be a bit tedious.

I was also considering playing that short arctic race that has a bonus for all guns.

Again which race do you typically play and why?

Humans, because I identify with them pretty strongly.

X'i (the radioactive race) because they are cute and quirky. They are also very alien, and the lore says they they are a very old race. So I play them as a bit sociopathic/uncaring about these new races. They can also eat anything, which simplifies life. They can't use normal healing stuff, which complicates life.

(The psionic race), again because they are alien and quirky. They also can eat anything. Their racial tech makes quick work of felling trees or harvesting soft materials - but this is mostly an early-game benefit.

I have about 8 chars total but the ones I've stuck with have Been Floran from the base game and Kitsune and Avali as modded I just like how they look tbh and Floran for stabss was also my main char pre modded.

I really enjoyed floran race pre-FU. I think their scan texts are hilarious and I really like their look as well as their buildings. Floran's plant nature inspired me to build some crazy plant-tech-hybrid buildings, and I just think they're an amazing race overall.

In FU however, I immediately fell in love with the looks of Nightar Race, but was kind of scared of their Racial stats (less DMG in sunlight - uh oh?) and picked the cat-like race.
Kept regretting it afterwards, so I stopped halfway and started over with Nightar.

Nightar definitely is my favourite race in FU. They look amazing, have a neat racial tech, and are great for exploration. I don't even mind the stat drop in bright spaces, since it's not as bad as expected. I realized that you can also disable racial stats at some point, but never did. Life drain and stat boosts in caves are just way to much fun to miss out on :)
