Crew members and races discussion

[BarbaraValenzuela]

Hi all,

In the most recent May trailer we got to see the new races that are being implemented. I like what I see.

Some feedback and questions:

[1] I like the emphasis on races designed for different play styles. I'd like to see the human race also have a bonus, or no pros/cons while the others do.

[2] I'd like to be able to start out with four crew members of a specific race as opposed to all humans. I think this is the direction you are going in, though, but I thought I'd mention it.

[3] Will crew members impact encounters? Will having a member of a specific race mean some encounters will have the option of diplomacy, or perhaps the NPC ship will turn hostile immediately?

[4] Are crew members just going to be defined by their race, or will they have their own stats?
