Wooha! I just started another game and managed to get a military alliance with the Clukruk (despite their "angry" attitude.)
I parked a ship around their homeworld and gifted them resaupply tech. Sure enough, within a few turns they had built me a resuply depot! I gifted them refining tech and sure enough, a few turns later my trade income from them had increased by a factor of about 5!
I gave them a crappy old escort. They have parked it above
my homeworld and have been wondering what to do with it for the Last 20 turns
Now I've gifted them glactic expansion. I'll tell you what that does next week...
In the meantime, I think i might try to create a dedicated primitive shipset. I already have a spare race portrait knocking around, so I have some fun with the AI_general and AI_Speech. Then I can add some "spears and loincloth" infantry pics, maybe a bantha-rider small troop or something... Or perhaps I could make them steam tech or space tech and draw a few old-fashioned "destination moon" style rockets.
QR: Is it possible for them to get uplifted all the way up to full spacefaring in this mod? If so I should probably be making them look just like any other race, shouldn't I? Or should I? That seems kind of silly to me. I don't know. Rex I still can't see how your additions to the various modded files work- they obviously do work but I can't see how

. What images do I need to make? Help!
EDIT: If there is a need for dedicated primitive shipset images, maybe they should just go in the generic folder to serve all primitive races. What do you think?
