Suggestions for The Nightars (All are welcome!)
Even though as I am typing this the mod is only about an hour old on the Workshop, I do have quite a lot of my suggestions I have that would be pretty neat to see from the mod. It doesn't have to just be mine, everyone can share their ideas down below.

Suggestion 1: The King/Queen of the Night and their Crown. With the excitement for the upcoming Nightar mission, I have been biting to know what we could see from the ending. A boss fight against the King of the Night mentioned in the throne's description in Ran's Castle? I would love to see that kind of fight as it would test our capabilities as a Nightar and give purpose to the name of the King Slayer armor. But what if there was a bigger reward to said victory? Possibly having the King have a chance to drop a Nightar boss weapon? A crown? Maybe even make it so you need to beat the king so he drops a fragment of his throne and you use that to purchase the Throne from Ran? Nothing says I kicked you into the dirt like stealing their throne. xD

Suggestion 2: Nightar Special stats and tech. Ok, so in terms of tech, I am aware that they are against technology, but I am thinking having these tech considered as a sort of enhanced human abilities, like for Morphball, they turn into a cloud of darkness that can fit through any crack like a liquid, immune to damage, with taking your entire energy bar upon activation as balance. For dashing tech, possibly shadow clones, turning invisible at the end of your average dash leaving a dummy of you to take one hit or to keep enemies distracted for about 3-5 seconds to allow for strategic planning in the breath of darkness. Lastly for Jumping tech, a rocket jump like ability that causes an microexplosion of shadows that damage any nearby enemies within the radius. (I would recommend making the tech seperate as Tech mods can cause a lot of problems, at least for me.) As for the Special Stats, I had something similar to Frackin' Races on my mind except you do it for your own character. Possibly health regen when it is night time or in the dark, increased energy and energy regeneration, a reduced version of Thorns active by default, etc.

Suggestion 3: Nightar Tools. Not much to this one, just would be pretty cool to see Nightar takes on tools like the Hoe, mining tool, and grappling hook.

Suggestion 4: Nightar Capes? Would be cool to have capes that matched the different armors that comes with the race, possibly even giving the capes their own stats or something.

Suggestion 5: Nightar Vehicle? Nothing high tech, probably just a giant sword that floats or something would do.

Suggestion 6: Nightar Colonies. I know these are already planned, but I was wondering if they could be placed only on Shadow Planets, or if it is either an all or none deal.

Suggestion 7: Nightar Pets/monsters. Not the space one, I was thinking more along the lines of having a merchant in the Outpost sell pre captured monsters fitting the whole Darkness theme, like one of those shadow Poptop's in the Frackin' Universe questline or something.

Suggestion 8: More Casual Nightar Attire. I am all for wearing armor and suits, but I would enjoy more cosmetic outfits that fit their way of life.

That's all I have for now, will try to update as I go. See ya'll later!

Suggestion 1 is already there, kind of, i don't wanna spoil much, but there will be an npc boss which is the king who has a small chance of dropping his crown and blade, and another big boss!

3,4,5,6,8 are all possible and i will work on them sometime later!

As for 2 and 7, i don't really know how to do that, so don't expect much!

Ah, ok cool. Feel free to take your time on all of these. For 2, I think that it is something that Frackin' Races will pick up when the race gets big enough as they seem to be the ones who know how to do those kinds of things but we shall see. And in terms of tech, I honestly don't mind not having them, just thought reskins of vanilla tech to suit the opposition of average humans would be a neat little touch, but in the end it all comes down to capabilities. As for 7, it is rather negligable as I believe a few vanilla monsters could suffice for combat. Excited to see where this all goes in the future ^u^

the higher tier armors should make the character looks bigger and stronger, you know, more scary it would be even moar awsome, and great job with the mod !

^ Ooo, sounds pretty interesting. My concern for that would be the armor being so bulky that it starts getting a little ridiculous or clipping through things. I would love to see that too though as it seems rather fitting. I make do with the King Slayer armor set though as the Shoulders are quite massive as is, though I have seen larger armors in Frackin' Universe's armor selection that don't cause any graphical issues, so ultimately it comes down to preference. Possibly 3 variants of a light, medium, and heavy styled version for each? Tiers within the tiers, tierception! O.O

More Placeable Shops
D3th10rd Aug 15, 2016 @ 1:02pm 
^ Probably to specify that a bit more, shops where you can buy Nightar Cosmetic Clothing and other such materials, possibly a place where you can find some foods that Nightar prefer to eat/plant and so on?

A place able flag for teleporting. I don't use many other mods so getting a teleporter is not happening soon.
NimblePenguin  [developer] Aug 16, 2016 @ 7:21am 
Don't know about the bulky stuff, i kinda like the armor the way it is now!

More shops are possible, if i can find enough stuff to put in them.

Their favourite food is potato :3. I made some potato recipes that i will add some time later.

There is a flag, but i forgot to make the recipe for it, i will add it in the next update.

Edit: the flag can be crafted now!

This could be great if we could have the king's armor because the crown is cool but no armor are cool as the crown.
NimblePenguin  [developer] Aug 17, 2016 @ 2:14pm 
The king's armor is basically the nightar king slayer armor (tier 6 armor)

man i have some amazing ideas but they arent for the eyes of just anyone (bad experiences and worse thoughts of worst case scenarios).
would love to friend you and chat on occasion about ideas, if thats fine with you of course. :steamhappy:
NimblePenguin  [developer] Aug 26, 2016 @ 12:44am 
Sure, i am fine with that. :3

S1: maybe you should make a smaller version of Ran's auto and Ran's castle like a panel so i can put those in one of my decorated room in my ship :D

S2: More weapon and some cool EPP that compatible with F.U
S3: Explorer pod for Nightar
S4: Some staff for Nightar but not gain enough popularity so they become rare and hard to find
S5: Some more bow with useful abilities
S6: Give Nightar some addition buff when using with F.U like more durability, immune with Deadly cold, increase 5% speed when fighting in cold enviroment, gain 10% damage from broadsword and bow, vulnerable with Slow effect and Hot enviroment and so on depend on how you balance it.

Add a pale white skin color as well? :o

Completely addicted to the look and feel of this mod. My suggestion though obviously you can put it at the bottom of the list but like maybe add an armored dress for those of us playing le females? Using the viera armor dress with the crown and cape looks amazing but sadly viera colors dont match up to your design so would be nice to see a nightar armor dress for the ladies. Oh and maybe a really cool axe for the berserker / axe knights in us <3 and yes i totally went and snatched up the kingslayer as a soldier for my ship! @ best body guard. otherwise +++++ rating to the mod.
