Remove cats, replace with either round start pod people or round start jelly people (slime people with no super ability)

i'd rather not open that can of worms but I do think golems post rework would be a better roundstart species (and golems being among human crew is a really cool trope every time, FTL did it)

I would only remove them if it were to add a more interesting race, like IPCs.

I think felinids are one of the most boring non-humans so almost any other would be better. But I wouldn't remove them for the sake of it

I don't see any real reason to remove them other than trolling, but more roundstart races would be super neat.

I would remove em for a more interesting race.

If felininds are blocking a cooler race I'd want them gone because I dont find their appearence nor their lore very interesting compared to the rest of our roster.

There should be 7 more felinid votes and all of them should be rigged in different directions, in-keeping with tradition.

I got the perfect solution for this
What if we just disabled felinids from being selected as a race but let the people who currently have them in their presets keep them

Anyone who voted No should have their cKey locked to being felinids while I blackmail the maintainers into turning them into normal cats.

Felinids should be an admin griefing tool. (All felinid players are irredeemable)

Boring race with boring lore, they are so inconsequential they most likely don't deserve to be removed, but I wouldn't notice at all if they did.

tldr is that it's an extremely divisive issue. multiple votes were held and eventually the ability to make a felinid character was rescinded- you could still play ones you already had, though. They then got brought back so that the coders could bully them

they already exist so there's not much value in removing them.
but I would rather have a species that is more unique than "human but with cat ears" if forced to choose one over the other.

If we're insisting on them being human reskins I'd be tempted to just add cat ears/tail to human customisation prefs but I don't care very strongly.

That's pretty much what felinids used to be, but they got seperated out into a species because they were treated uniquely in code and policy.

I beg to the elders to share the story.
It caused a massive drama last time they were removed/attempted to be removed. Highlights include several server votes, all of which were too close to definitively say who won. Felinids staying in won one by a small margin, and removing them won another again by a small margin. Also, an admin meteored the station over it and got a couple weeks ban. If you go back far enough in the town hall, there's a thread, and you can probably find the meteor incident in admin complaints. The final conclusion was to soft remove them, allowing no new cat characters and all old ones can stay. Eventually that was overturned.

you are getting your order of events wrong

the meteors happened long before any votes and was done because a config mistake disabled the cat ears and I convinced swarge I had turned them off and he malded.
