Erax: I talked a little with SJ about putting in a pirate or nomad race type in the cross-over mod. He suggested making a single racial type "Wanderer" that fuses both types together, so that the racial type is somewhat competitive with the "Normal" type (He did suggest that there may be a better descriptor word than "wanderer").

I was thinking that in the ST universe the Orions, Hirogen and perhaps the Ferengi could make good "Wanderers". In the SW universe the Jawa would make excellent wanderers! I'm not sure if the Hutt would fall into that Category though. In the B5 universe there are a handful of potentials too (most notably the Raiders).

It would be hip if we had an "Ancient" type of some sort too for the B5 cross over. Perhaps in the ST portion we could have some Ancient types too... the Q? the Organas (sp) from the original series? Well, okay, maybe the Q is overkill, but it would be fun! Perhaps a race of monsters could be the ancient race... they don't colonize planets, just fly through space and occassionally drop troops (Aliens vs. Predators anyone?)

I'd like to offer my services on the QNP part of the SW mod, but I'm uncertain if I'm up to the task... SJ is so much better at that sort of thing. I'd like to look at his method using mounts again too - it had a lot of potential, and I think it was able to avoid problems with RCEs. SJ?
