Races should be more than just cosmetic..

It's a good point. I'm very interested in the lore however and in to RP so I'd like the ability to make a new character to support that but I don't like the idea of waiting a long period of time to get it.

Dear Lord! Please no race bonuses! I don't want to be forced to play a fugly alien just because he got bonus stats that fit my playstyle. Also remember there will be new alien races within the upcoming DLCs, I don't want to be forced to run a completely new character just because the new alien race is stronger.

The outlaw, machinist etc items are sinergies, if you equip a mod of the same synergy it adds bonuses, so a reg wpn would require 2 mods of the same grp, where a wpn with a sinergie only needs 1 mod of the same to unlock the first bonus.
