So, since Dyno does not like the idea of using 5 emoji's in a row, I have to rewrite my idea.
SO ANYWAY! I had a good idea for once in my life.
Races and diversity of crew.
Add in the different variations of crew that can be better at certain things but trade off in other things. Since in the future pawn combat is going to be a thing, in a sense of boarding and the latter, I think it would be fitting to just include the variety of crew to work around that give you different abilities or give you different advantages in certain fields.
Say for instance you have five stats. Where 1 to 5 points are applied, with a total of 15 points being given per race. Where 1 is bad and 5 is excellent
The stats would include
Speed: The speed at which a pawn moves
Strength: The ability to mine of a pawn
Vitality: The health of a pawn
Capacity: The carry capacity of a pawn
** O2 Efficiency** The efficiency of the oxygen usage OR the size of oxygen tank
Each race would have some of the following stats for example.
Humans:
Typical average pawns, the ones you know and love
Speed: 3
Strength: 3
Vitality: 3
Capacity: 3
O2 Efficiency 3
Avian Race:
Bird like creatures that have a higher speed but are much more fragile than the rest.
Speed: 5
Strength: 3
Vitality: 2
Capacity: 2
O2 Efficiency 3
Plant Race:
Plant based creatures that while slower by a fraction, can photosynthesize when in space and last way longer due to their CO2 tanks
Speed: 2
Strength: 3
Vitality: 2
Capacity: 3
O2 Efficiency 5
Human-like Race:
Xeno or Alien race, they for one are bound to technology so they are dependent on their intellect more than their physical strength, but are known to be quite healthy and to live long.
Speed: 3
Strength: 2
Vitality: 4
Capacity: 2
O2 Efficiency 4
Minotaur or Brute Race:
Not your run of the mill guys, these guys will brute force their way through everything and will make themselves known, even if they can't catch up to you or lack their breath.
Speed: 1
Strength: 4
Vitality: 5
Capacity: 4
O2 Efficiency 1
NOTE: All these stats are suggestions and subject to change by developers, these are just an idea
Now, sorry for long post, hope you guys like it.
