Space Food Empires!

For the next version I'm adding the basic framework to support monsters, but I would like to get feedback on how I should implement them.

Currently I'm going to have their home colony invisible to all other races, which will be capable of supporting 3-5 monsters at a time. Should I make them like neutrals or should I give them free range like regular AI? If I make them regular AIs how many systems should their range be? I was thinking 1-2 systems beyond their home colony.

How strong should individual monsters be? Should they be able to match against a single ship or a few ships at once?

Feel free to post more ideas...

For you amusement I have added a bunch of rough sketches I have made on various Space Food Empires items, which you can view here:

I'll add more of the ship doodles, so you can at least get an idea of how some of them will eventually look.

Shiny !!!

How far have things gotten in terms of race portrait and race-distinctive ships ?

Kinda curious how they'll turn out...
