Best Of

Hello,

So, I've read the class descriptions on the website and looked at the pictures, and read through some of the discussions here on the forums and was wondering about something:

What would some of the class specific equipment look like? I've read somewhere that customization won't be an option, at least in the beginning, but this had me curious.

For example, the BEAST suit on the website looks like it was designed for a human. However how would the BEAST look for a Ry'nari, or W'hoorn? Would a Shen BEAST have an elongated helmet giving an appearance similar to the Protoss or Alien? Would Elgans have tech for their size, or would they pilot the suits in a similar fashion to a Gundam or the Hulkbuster armor?

Will kithblades be a standard shape, such as a medieval longsword, or will there be a variety of shapes based on cultural preferences? Scimitars, giant bowies, etc?

Since engineers seemingly build their own tech, would there be some difference in their appearances based on racial needs? Can irill tattoos come in different designs, such as swirls or pictures, so long as the irill lines are connected? Or do the tattoos have to resemble circuit boards? 

I figure some of the answers to these questions will come from a character's personal description (such as the irill tattoos) but I was curious about the other items. I left out scoundrels because I think that was one of the discussions that stated customization wasn't a thing right away. Plus, a PIECE appears to be a pretty universal weapon (just need an appendage to hold and fire the weapon) so I doubt there would be much need to customize it based on a character's physiology.

Thanks for your responses and ideas!

I just put up a fairly long piece of lore that explains more about why the Celestines and Song continue to loathe each other, as well as how the Celestines freed themselves from corporate rule and how they now govern themselves. https://www.starmourn.com/martias-and-the-angel/

I also updated the Song Dominion page with info about how their form of dictatorial government arose, and how they evolved into a fairly brutal empire.

Enjoy! I'll get the wiki updated with all of this in the near future.

Scoundrel, because no other class has that right amount of 'devil may care' attitude to it to satisfy me probing the upper limits of what this game can do.
'See that asteroid there?'
'....Yeah?'
'We're gonna tow it, and fling it at the Song fleet.'
'W-why?'
'Clearly, you have never played space bowling...'

Fury FTW. I've already written an intro to my character and posted it here :-)

You are so very much my polar opposite. I think we're going to be the very best of enemies.

I am very much looking forward to it, you tank-bred, gap-toothed space toad

Hold on, I think I found a picture of you and your kithblade:

This is really promising. It feels like you guys have learned from the best parts of combat in your previous games while cutting out a lot of the worst parts. Glad you are being bold enough to take a new direction, and excited to try it out.

I've just added a new page to Starmourn.com with details of how combat and wetwiring work! I know this has been a hotly anticipated topic, so feel free to ask your questions below, and I'll get them answered!

This seems like a more engaging system than my past experiences trying to cure what seemed like a thousand afflictions simultaneously.  

If you're talking about the previews I posted, I used Paint to place text over a screenshot, it was not actually done in the client! I figured it was a little more interesting than blurring or pixellating the text-that-should-not-be-seen.

I am very glad that my mad Paint skillz are so convincing though. :proud:
