I think we just have differing oppinions on what 'cooperation' entails. I think my method would have been an excelent way to get everyone to play nice. Iron fist, velvet glove. well, maybe not the velvet glove bit, but the idea is roughly the same.
I tried again, and I was able to wrangle a colonizer out of a friendly alien race. everything should be swanky from there. It would be neat if there were little carry over things from the show (sure i didnt watch it much, but i saw a couple) like the fighters that could destroy suns. I bet you could get that nebula creator re-packaged for a fighter, leave some docked on an old starbase belonging to a neutral empire or something. it would be challenging to figure out how to get them.
