Re: I wonder
 

What technology level is this at? I start all games at low tech, so I have not seen all the tech availiable in the demo. Is there a higher technology available in the demo (like cloaking) that would let them slip past without engaging in combat?

Re: I wonder
 

Nope, the cloak tech is not available in the demo...

Re: I wonder
 

Cloaking's not available as a researchable technology but could the race have something like it as an undocumented special ability?

Sounds more like a bug to me but it might not be - the bug might actually be in not having something about a natural stealth ability in their description.

Re: I wonder
 

I have taken a closer look at this race. They have a racial enemy who thinks the the ships of this race are "eating" them because the ships are "pure energy". Right now I am of the oponion that this race does indeed have a "special ability". If nothing else the ships mimic the green cosmic storms. I have found that I cannot scan them so I am betting that they have the same effect as a "storm" so they can slip by.

I am going to try starting a game that includeds that race and then "turn them into a player controlled race and see what they can do.
