I'd like to see some races like in B5 that wander the galaxy. They'd have to have a tech level that is unreachable for the standard set since at max level, they wouldn't seem so threatening then.
I think it would be pretty cool with a 25000kt ship cruising the galaxy (sometimes hidden) that dosn't even care about us. Like ants to us. It wouldn't work very good as a race i dont think, not in the same way you interact with the other players and AI.

I got to thinking, and I thought it would be kind of cool if you could form treaties like in BOAF with the neutral players, and gain their special racial tech or whatever. Also, a definate must, keep their ship designs. I think it should be based on the majority of the type of people on a planet.
Also keep their racial modifiers for those new ships built by them for you.

If you distroy all their planets but not all their ships, they will move off to their allies system. I have not tryed giving them a planet outside their system yet.

Re: Neutral ships leaving their system
 

I tried giving neutrals planets outside their system and they always send out ships to defend their newly received planets. Weird?

I once had a killer StarBase at a strategic WP (I don't use mines aginst the AI) go 'Bye-Bye' across the map and into a black hole system. At least it mercifully ended 3 turns later....

Re: Neutral ships leaving their system
 

I had a game where one of those anomolies took one of my construction base and sent it across the galaxy. Wouldn't be that big of a deal except that this construction base was almost finished building a baseship that took almost two years to build! Thats annoying.

Captain, I found your pants.

Re: Neutral ships leaving their system
 

ummmm wuldn't that be good? the next thing the bsy should build is a colony ship or 2. After all, it just finished building that Baseship that can help defend the new colonies....
