20 Empires?
 

On page 23 of the printed manual, it says "only 8 of the 20 race styles are present in the demo."

Well, I can only find 8 race styles in the full CD game.

Am I missing something? Or did they forget to add the other 12 races to the CD?

Well, I can tell you that drones arent in the game yet. I bet its being worked on right now

Those race styles ARE in, just not as selectable empires. If you want to be able to play them, start a game with no neutrals, max computer opponents in a large galaxy. Then convert all players to human and when each empire comes up save their empire to a file.

Race style = pictures for the race.
Empire = specifics for advantages, traits, ect.

Drones.. I tried adding them via the ship size code, and got them in. They could even fight, and were listed in the units section. The problem? No way to launch! All the unit launchers only apply to fighters, mines, and satilites, so there is no way to launch them. No way to create a launcher either, the settings aren't there.

Guys,

Drones VERY TRICKY!!! MM is working on them and will be available in a patch. I suggest you don't try this at home.

I can definitely second the sightings of additional races. In the game I'm playing right now, not one of my enemies is a race from the demo. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif
