Mac, perfect! Exactly what I had in mind for a space monster. Another race from outside tha galaxy.
The pirates could be a race also, but a race of, you guessed it, pirates. I'm sure someone could make a great race for them and have MM put it in the game. The only difference might be that pirates are in every game unless turned off, and have some special abilites other races aren't allowed to have. If this would be to hard to implement than i would be more than satisfied with civlike pirates.
And you are correct if all these ideas were (and hopefully they will be

) implemented then there would be no safe areas. Which might finally give some of the experienced players a real challenge. And for the rest of us, if we wanted to, we could just turn these options off.
