#Pawn Races and Diversity of Crew

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.

It was suggested a lot of time in the past, and i hope one day it'll be part of the game

Also, one of crew type that is often suggested is robot crew : better than human at everything but they need power to function

See while robot sounds good on paper, what would it be, they supply power to their quarters?

#

Lol 20% chance to rebel

#

Either get power in their quarter and have to wait there once in a while to recharge, or directly go to the nearest reactor to eat a battery

Mmm, that's down to the devs at this point derp

#

I always make a prison complex that only 3 pawns know about

#

And then the rest just carry on with upkeep

#

The other 3 just harvest the prisoners

#

---------- Back on track
