SJ, have a few questions, If you have 0 engines with movement of only 1, this would take their colony ships forever just to cross 1 system, I agree slow expansion, but shouldn't their colony ships be a little more speedy otherwise they become real sitting ducks and would take far to long to colonize thus negating their real threat. In regard to expansion, I understand the colonizing planets part, but once on a planet, since its a swarm type race, I would (my opinion only) increase their re-production on a planet by at least 25-30% more then the other races. Slow expansion, but once landed, rapid re-production, thus over population, causing even more colony ships to be sent out. Also what type of atmosphere? Probably should be able to use all types to be real threat. I like the idea of the mother planets only being eradicated by blowing the star. That way you can burn them off of planets, but until you find/locate a mother world, they will just keep coming. You could have more then 1 mother planet just to make it more interesting. (if possible)

just some ideas mac
