A little idea really, perhaps you could make cosmetic styles for the people, to make them look like other things? I don't see why there's a reason for this game to be strictly humans, considering this game is used commonly for roleplaying

there's probably some mod for that

The lore assumes humans are currently the only living spacefaring species in this part of the galaxy. As there is no mention of any other species, safe for the dead one that invented the hyperdrives.

There were plans on the old roadmap for alien races so I'd image those have not changed for the future

The present lore assumes that Humans and Humans alone inhabit the explorable, colonized locations in the career mode, from the perspective of maintaining that lore for vanilla gameplay, adding aliens in the form of resprites of whatever else seems a tad unnecessary, unless it's made clear said resprites are non-canon, like toggling a setting called "Anthromorphic crew" from a hidden cheats menu or something. I think it'd be better that such things be left to mods.

Understand that I'm not strictly against the idea for base game, I would just find it best if it was implemented in a way that didn't interfere with present game lore.

Jani has a mod that makes the crew anthros

unironically though furries are creative with nonhuman character design .v.

#

anyhow, as for the actual suggestion I think having other species would be interesting

#

the lore wouldn't need to change much if at all; all the 'aliens' could be xenohumans genemodded into existence

#

maybe some of them could be based off of what the precursor aliens were thought to look like/made from a genetic sample extrapolated outwards

#

would flavor the game to be more like startrek, which it already is largely

#

very aesthetic ^v^
