Even though Starbound is still in its beta, and we an only have the tier 1 quests, there's still quite a bit of potential for some fics here.

For example, based on the Pony race mod, an introduction to the stars for the pony race, or even a group of explorers finding Equis. (my name for the pony homeworld, correct me if I'm wrong.)

Maybe the game is not popular enough?

2518042 Well we could brain storm on some ideas.
for example, My idea is that a group of explorers crash land on planet X Ipsilon Z III ( the ponies call it Equis) due to it's star's anomalous movements . So the explorers have to find a way to stop the star's anomalous movements and escape the planet while not being detected by the local inhabitants (After what happened with the Floran, I imagine that contacting pre-spacefaring aliens is highly discouraged.)
