Native races
 

Why can't, on some planets, there be native races? I was thinking of something that could posibly be talked too, but would more likely be someone to invade and use as colonists on planets without your own atmoshpere. I know they'd be nothing more than cannon fodder for bigger empires, but it would be more realistic.

I'm pretty new to this game, but I think that is the general idea behind the "minor races" - those whose flags are just a solid color rectangle with no design. They have some spaceflight capability, but never leave their home system. They are very easy pickings, even for a newbie like me.

I'm talking about non-spaceflight capable races, not the neurals.

Mako: nope, ain't none. Don't know if there CAN be or if that is on the "wish-list" but I DO know...none at the moment.

There are no such races in the game.
It should be easy to make though, just take a neutral and give it a vehicle_construction_AI.txt file with all the entries for colony and other ships removed.

I never tested this, but it should work.
