This is getting a little fligh-focused. What would be wrong with them having ears, tails, horns, or non-functional wings?

[Lolzytripd]

reasons for why wings don't work

A) nonfunctional
B) mech to heavy


reason wings don't work on other folks,
A)we no haz means to control them

Wings seem a bit pointless to have for all the previously mentioned reasons. I see absolutely nothing wrong with the other features, however.

Having racial icons available for Mechanations would open up a few roleplay opportunities, like designing one after a deceased friend or relative, without having to resort to.. unique methods of icon customization, and this is coming from someone that's pretty damn good at it.

As well, Horn-like features would actually be highly practical for combat.

Just to note, this isn't about certain features being useful, or good for combat, or even practical, I'm certain.

There's no good reason a Mech maker couldn't stick some purely aesthetic animal parts onto their dolls. And even if the icon parts aren't available, people could/would just RP their robotpeople having those parts. And then get metagamed, because people suck.

This is why Mechs should have access to all racial parts.

(Hell, you could make the point to say that everyone should have access to all racial parts because Sigroganaland is a place where everyone is a master craftsman of some sort and forging a pair of realistic horns can't be any harder than making artificial life. But hey. One long, derailed step at a time.)
