Zeta Reticuli is the name of the system that the Greys are supposed to come from, but I have never heard anyone use it as their name.

It is a surprisingly cool looking shipset, though. Very nice textures. The fighters having a 'glow' around them is also nice. More shipsets ought to have a noticable flame/exhaust for fighters. The crop circle glyphs in the shields are clever, but the weapon platforms are odd. Where does the missile launcher fit in a Nazca plains drawing?

They look like the little gray guys from Stargate SG1. Forget what they are called.

Nice work though. Very nice work.

I found them referred as the Zeta Reticuli, and shortened to just Zeta in some UFO page. Many races take their name from their home planet, so I don’t see anything wrong with that.

Deathstalker if you’re reading this, I gave them the AI you had made for the SW-EMP3 (now discontinued) with little changes.
Some changes such as the low reproduction and physical strength are for roleplaying reasons, though probably shouldn’t need to be so extreme, but feel free to revise and keep tweaking the AI files.
