Let's say you wanted to expand the stock set of breathable atmospheres from 5 to 10. What would you add? All such types have to be feasible for energy production/storage use by large organisms. Noble gases like Argon are right out. None is an exception, naturally.
I don't quite see why noble gasses are necessarily ruled out. It doesn't quite fit into the current game mechanics, but it is conceivable to have lifeforms that depend on a non-reactive but pressurized atmosphere.
