Diplomacy System Flexibility

[CarlG2]

Does anyone know if it will be possible to create a race which will not/cannot conduct any form of diplomacy, trade, etc., with the other races?

I am just wondering if it will be possible to model a race similar to the Tyranids (Warhammer 40K), Borg, or some other ever-expanding, ever-consuming, extra-galactic threat.

Also, does anyone know if it will be possible to create a scenario in which certain races are more friendly or hostile to other specific races (similar to Birth of the Federation's handling of initial race relations)?

Thanks for your time, and good gaming,

Carl G.
