Face it, Steam makes them more money than any one game ever will.

I want to make a mod with the precursors.

Details

+New race: "Recursors" [name subject to change]
-Basically, they're genderless pale veiny humanoids with wide (2px horizontal) eyes. An incomplete and failed attempt by the Apex (origin subject to change) to recreate the precursors/ancients who built the ancient gates and ark using old preserved DNA samples found in such places.
-Customization options would allow eye color changes, skin color changes, hairs, and... I haven't decided what the 2nd model-changing option could be (like the Avian Beaks, Apex Facial Hair, etc).
+New outfits
-A finished, working version of the Caretaker set and other similarly-themed craftable and starting vanities.
-Armor based on the design seen on the Ancient statue in the background of the Ark, getting progressively more high-tech, less clunky and large, and closer to the original sleek design as you go through the tiers.
+New ship
-Based on Ancient technology, but not perfect, the ship starts out mostly Apex (or whatever their origin will indicate in future versions) but progressively gets upgraded with more and more Ancient tech until eventually almost nothing remains of the original design. The ship would include custom background walls and lighting similarly to the old (and maybe new?) hylotl ship.
+New random-genned Ancient structures found on high-difficulty planets, including sprawling dungeons with unique monsters, old decayed ruins, random pieces of satellites crashed into planets, and other little bits and bobs.
+Craftable and placeable versions of ancient tech: lights, furniture, decor, blocks, etc.
+And much, much more!...
-Or at least there would be if I could art. Bleh.

For a moment I thought I could try and concept something, then I remembered you need in-game assets, not sketches.

Haha, that's okay :p
I'd need to figure out how Starbound's mod file structure, code, and everything else worked first before even attempting to make a mod anyway.

Now that I think of it, have you ever tried pixel art?

Not entirely.

Beyond this sword icon, I haven't done much with it.

That isn't a rapier. There is clearly a double-sided cutting edge, and as you can see, the handguard is in the style of a European longsword, making it much more likely to be a broadsword. I wouldn't want to stab with that! Throw you off balance.

I wouldn't want to stab with that! Throw you off balance. Also, the grip is far too long, being clearly designed for a person to wield it with two hands.

You wouldn't want to cut with it either. It's too thin and long.

Can we just agree that it looks awesome and who cares if it would be impractical?

It's actually kind-of both.

The sword is called Sorrow (proverb for "piercing sorrow"), and it's based on the colichemarde, which is has a broad blade to a certain point before tapering off to a rapier tip.

I just streamlined the tapering, really.



Off the internet I have two replicas: a bastard sword/Hand-and-half sword, and a Japanese nodachi (and a decent replica at that).

I want a colichemarde but they're harder to find unless you order from the internet.
