Re: When you first meet a race
 

For me, the biggest factor in how I am going to respond to a First Contact depends on the race descriptions. If it says that they are an Honorable Scientist then I will treat them that way. I often get screwed, however, by people who pic their racial descriptions based on the bonuses not on the roleplaying aspects. I really enjoy reading the history and discriptions of new races. I try to play my games as close to my descriptions as possible and assume that others do the same.

If the race has NOTHING in their description and history, I automaticly assume they are hostile and prepare for war. Whether it happens or not... that's a different story but I prepare nontheless.

good point bearclaw

The people I play with try to role play. But human nature is human nature

The Human/Melconian would make for an interesting scenario. You'd have to tweak the techs and such so that they favored a ground war.
