Ok so Tesco Samoa(in april

) , Modulus(if he can find it), and QuarianRex(I think if he doesn't die from sleep deprivation or kill me in a blind rage

) are "possibles", for around april

..... and rangarock could do the demo...
and Yes I wish they would "fuse" the two together, I like the fuel model, and the Resourses, the minerals adds a little realism. But I think they shoulda had a separate "research" resource, like build labs instead of devoting factories to reserch. and maybe set it up so the facilities take up the same slots, so you could build mines instead of factories and, later scrap thaem and put factories in place of the mines.
Just out of curiosity what are your faveorite/most hated Racial traits? I like war monger, Super Stealth, and Interstellar Traveller, and Alernate reality and Jack of all trades are fun to play as. But I hate Space demo., packet physics and Hyper expansion races, I can never play them right. I've ignored Inner strength and claim adjuster all together. For lesser traits I take Improved fuel efficiency and no ramscoops, you have to build more fuel Xports but I like going warp 10 for almost half the research points. And depending on the main trait I might take No Advanced scanners, you know that if you take that if there is a penatraitng scanner in your racial traits you can stilluse it, very good with packet physics, super stealth and jack of all trades. I ALWAYS take improved starbases.
