General Idea for another race:
The trogs.
The trogs are a newly discovered species of ape-like humanoids that strongly resemble Earth's chimpanzees; however, they have less hair, are taller, and are less lanky.
Traits:
Trogs are similar to the Yowies, which are sometimes observed on stations; however, there are some differences.
-Trogs cannot wear shoes or gloves due to their thick and spindly hands.
-Trogs have 3 extra slots to put things in their pockets; however, using 1 of these slots will slow it down slightly, and using the other will slow it down even more.
-Trogs deal more unarmed damage than most creatures due to their strength.
-Trogs drag things faster
-Trogs are better at throwing things
-Trogs don't eat meat, but it only has a slight ill effect on them.
-Allowed to have command roles due to how evolutionarily close to men they are, but don't expect anyone to take you even remotely seriously, and you may or may not get fired at the drop of a hat.
-Can talk to feral monkeys and understand their language
-Not very good with guns
-Gets hungry faster
-Otherwise, they are pretty similar to humans; they even have the same blood.
Roleplay:
Get laughed at by literally everyone, unless you are a clown, then nobody finds even your most hilarious pranks funny. Get fired and blow your account drinking at the bar. Save the station and get ignored. Be the victim of a "Prank" involving knockout gas and a crowbar to the face. Lash out and get revenge, end up locked in Perma for the rest of the game. Get made fun of and called Harambe in the after-game chat.

Not very good with guns, hungry faster, made fun of by literally everyone, no shoes, no meat, a little unbalanced? maybe, but you are kinda overreacting.

'hungry faster' is almost entirely meaningless, and being made fun of isn't even a mechanical downside, that's just lore. Not being able to eat meat is practically flavor text, and you say they can't wear shoes, but wearing two pairs of gloves is arguably an upside.
