New neutral races?

Does anyone know of a site where you can get additional neurtal race styles? I'm getting tired of looking at the ones that came with the game.

I think the Hyperion Base or Universal Shipyards (check Malfador.com and then Player Sites) has a file called 'Neutral Rebirth' it adds a few new neutrals. Kuat Drive yards also adds 'Jabba the Hutt' and 'Pinky and the Brain' I believe. (or I may just be crazy

)

Perhaps you don't understand... there's no qualitative difference between "regular" empires and neutrals. You could setup any of the standard empires as a neutral by putting it in the neutrals directory instead of in the races directory. Some of the 'simpler' empires would make good neutrals. The ones with monochrome ship sets, few or no AI files (just copy another neutrals and edit), etc. It would be cool to have neutrals with complete unique ship sets, no? I've considered using some add-on races to give even the existing neutrals their own ship sets.

Hey, that's great idea!

Now I know what to do with all those AI-less shipsets I been having around (like Niridia Empire).
