[starcanebound]

[11:58 AM] Teapot: i mean, for a peaceful amphibious race more concerned with beauty and knowledge than anything else, i think they'd be pretty whatever about apparent gender

[11:58 AM] Teapot: as long as it's pretty and makes you look good, you can look like whatever

[11:59 AM] Frogpaw: ye

[11:59 AM] Teapot: i kind of also feel like there might be a split between hylotl who accept the use of body alterations and those that are firmly against it

[11:59 AM] Teapot: because on the one hand

[11:59 AM] Teapot: beauty at any cost

[11:59 AM] Teapot: on the other hand

[12:00 PM] Teapot: not natural beauty or self-made

[12:00 PM] Frogpaw: oooh

[12:00 PM] Teapot: the hylotl feel a little bit like

[12:00 PM] Teapot: aqua cyberpunk sometimes

[12:01 PM] Teapot: like their underground cities are this weird mashup of futuristic modern and traditional/classic

[12:01 PM] Teapot: so they have both ends going for them

[12:01 PM] Levo: I'd accept this all as canon hylotl

[12:01 PM] Levo: None of the species have enough detail for my tastes

[12:02 PM] Teapot: castes

[12:02 PM] Teapot: according to different species or whatever

[12:03 PM] Teapot: and since the avians have so many varieties of like beaks and appearances and stuff, that's totally open to actual varieties of bird species

[12:03 PM] Teapot: and we have like fiftymillion bird species to begin with

[12:03 PM] Teapot: and just like family flocks/colonies of birds

[12:04 PM] Teapot: like you see this massive fucking pigeon family flock

[12:04 PM] Teapot: or shit like solitary big birds of prey being maybe more governing/ruling class or alternatively like hermits and shit

some fun special class flock stuff with @sniperjoey and @taguelknight

it kind of devolved into shenanigans at the end, but since when do pchats not?

[sniperjoey]

you forgot something incredibly important. 

[illuthra]

GASP, I DID. HOW COULD I. FORGIVE ME, BUFF FROG. I HAVE WRONGED YOU QQ

[alazdriel]

I’m really neurotic about my space station layouts, so I made a simple template to doodle on. Full download link: [ link ]

Additional Space Station Notes:

The width of the station world is much wider than it is tall. The template provided only shows about 42 units (20 unit - default bay (1 unit) - main/default core (1 unit) - 20 units). I believe you can stretch out to ~60 units. 

The max height is 13 units. The stupid thing about this is that your base core starts out on the 6th unit, meaning you have 5 units above you and 7 below you. Why? I don’t know. They hate symmetry, I guess.

You cannot place certain station units next to each other. For example, if you attempt to place a core against a non-port side of a T junction, it will state that it blocks a port and grey out the selection. Keep this in mind when planning out your station, or you might be in for some unpleasant building surprises. [ Click for example image ]

Station layouts cannot be changed. By far the most annoying thing about this whole process is that you cannot revoke or edit a building unit you have already placed. The only way to “reset” your station is to delete the unique.station file in your Storage folder and create an entirely new station. Considering how much of a massive resource sink stations already are, this should be reserved as a last resort.

Levi’s Log

Generally, things have been pretty wild since I got shoved into this god forsaken class. While I hold them all dearly, and like them somewhat, these are a bunch of people aliens who probably should have never been unleashed into space.

We got a pyromaniac fish person, whatever the hell Ironhand is but he’s sitting in trash, a sweet tempered murderous floran with distinctive tracks (and also a marriage councilor on the side) and there’s honestly no telling what the other hylotl are like. Max screams into cups and burns avian religious monuments in his spare time. Natsumi is, well. Uh. Natsumi.

Point being, your local space adventuring Levi is pretty tired, and could do with a good snack. Please forward a box of sweets to the address of our space station.

Please also label the box as something like “toilet paper” or “this isn’t flammable” to avoid theft before I can get to it.

Thank you for your concern,

Levi

Day 674

Natsumi: Tsuri Natsumi: that is not how you shirt Tsuri: WE TRIED, OKAY Tsuri: QQ Natsumi: the obvious solution is to both wear the shirt at once Scaleeen: The special class get along shirt Levi: Wow, it's the get along tank!
