If it makes your choice any easier, here's the wiki pages for each race's ship (with images of what they look like at Tier 8) and race-exclusive pet.
Yep! Luckily, I'll be sleeping through a lot of it (it's 3:30am here!), but I'll be back in the morning to answer any questions and such.
In the meantime, the Starbounder Wiki is a good source of info, though some of it may be outdated, left over from Early Access.
Also, if the tone of the OT doesn't make any sense to you guys, it will when you start playing, I promise.
Good night!

I can't wait I'm set and ready to go, have bought a second copy of the game for my fiancée as we both love these type of games (we've put 100's of hours into terraria already). So tonight can't come soon enough

I haven't played since about a month after the initial early access release. Looking forward to getting back in and messing around, I'm sure a lot has changed.

Don't see any mention of controler suport: is it in yet?

I'd hope so. If not, I hope when they do develop the console ports, they somehow back port the controller code they make back to the PC version and make an option.
Nice OT, Retro. Been a long time coming.
Just loaded up the latest "unstable" build to check. My controller doesn't work and I don't see any options to make it work. So unless that's a last minute addition (which would be weird), no controller support yet.

Nice OP! No screenshots of the game though?
Today is the day!
It's now as easy as right clicking a friend's name on steam and hitting 'join game'!

Is it just me or is the text in the images in the OP kinda hard to read? can't really describe it.
Never played this but had some fun with terraria, maybe I will bite and buy this.

This is all I wanted to hear - count me in again!
Haven't played for months (if not years)

OT looks a little weird with the name of the game at the bottom lol, but I dig the captain's log style.

I'm looking forward to it too.
Holy shit dude..
And I was fucking pissed when they wiped characters after like 20 hours of playtime...
I'm looking forward to it too.
Good god!
After waiting so long I'm forced to wait another 2 weeks as today is the first day of my holidays and I have to drive to the UK, curse your black eyes fate!!!

Sorta, the difference is unlike Terraria's single world, you can travel to different planets and solar systems.
Starbound also seems to have a better combat focus over Terraria with things like melee combos for example.
The premise kind of reminds me of kind of like a 2D No Man's Sky with base and structure building mechanics, however Starbound came first so....
You start on a starter planet and a dilapidated ship that needs to be repaired, and it's warp drive fixed. So you go down to the planet to gather resources and building materials so you can fix your ship to travel to other planets, recruit NPCs and build a ship crew. Eventually you get to the point you can get your Warp Drive in a functional state to travel to other Star Systems and explore the vastness of space in search of the reason why your home planet was destroyed and as well find new planet to settle and colonize to.
It's an excellent game. In fact it if wasn't for Starbound, I probably would not have found out about NMS either.

Just saw my wife off, gonna try to get a couple more hours of sleep, but wanted to answer some questions
I haven't seen any mentioned, but I'm sure someone will make a mod that supports that.
You can join players via Steam now, super easy.
From a recent AMA:
It does indeed. In addition to a bunch of different planet types (desert, forest, ocean, etc.) there are moons (airless planets) and asteroid fields. You also get an expandable ship to travel between all of these planets to decorate / staff with a crew.
The developers have said they want to expand on the space element by having ship-to-ship battles and such, but they've been focused on getting the core game out.
I'm was planning to add a screenshot section at the bottom, using pictures from our community. I can certainly throw some from the beta thread in there though in the meantime. =)
Very likely the typeface was a little cramped and needed to spread out a little. White-on-black is naturally harder to read as well. I went ahead and added some additional space between the letters, does it look any better now?
I wanted to try something different and build up to the logo. The "captain's log" approach actually has a reason, but you'll have to play the game to get it. =)
Very much like Terraria, but with lots of planets / biomes / enemies, a more linear storyline, colony building, agriculture, solid combat...
Price will remain unchanged.
1.0 is considered Feature Complete. Based on what I've played of the current unstable build (which is basically 1.0), it delivers like some kind of UPS / FedEx monster.
Your current version of Starbound should upgrade via Steam when 1.0 hits. If you really want to start now though, you could install the unstable version and start playing just to learn the game so you have a leg up when it's "for real" later today.

Well this isn't an OT I was expecting to ever see.
Haven't touched this game or heard any news about it in awhile.
How much has changed since early access launch?

Too much to list. If you played it when it first went into Beta vs. now it's completely different in almost every way.
Um.... okay. I mean, if you already bought it, the only cost to try it again is time and bandwidth spent downloading it again. If you were put off by the beta's terrain / biome generation, they've vastly improved that element.
There were two large combat updates while it was in beta, it feels a lot better now.

It's been a while since I've played my 74 hours, but it's time to come back! Looking forward to trying it out again this weekend.

I have not played much since I have been waiting for it to come out of EA.
Is the game ok to play alone or should I grab some friends to play with?

Alone is fine, but everything is better with friends. There will be a GAF server for multiplayer shenanigans as well.
