Re: New PBW game - Strange Races
Using Custom races is highly encouraged, I just didn't want to see any of the "sci-fi series" type races that really should be played in their own galaxy and time frame. The Rage and the Aquilean are both alien enough for my taste.

Re: New PBW game - Strange Races
I am in.
Gandalph if you run a game as good as you play it should be really good.

Re: New PBW game - Strange Races
Can the empire be one of the original game races?

I was hoping to avoid the stock races, but any except the Terrans should be alien enough.

Re: New PBW game - Strange Races
There are almost 300 shipsets available in the PBW file library. True a bunch of those are duplicates, and a bunch are if not outright duplicates at least very derivative, and a bunch are from various Sci-fi universes so may not be very original, and quite frankly a bunch are probably just crap.  But after all that there are quite a few good quality original races to choose from. You wouldn't even have to make your own.

Re: New PBW game - Strange Races
I do have a very original race pic and empire file already. I only have a partial shipset, perhaps I'll borrow one and modify it.

Re: New PBW game - Strange Races
A significant fraction of the shipsets in the PBW File Library were made before SE IV Gold came out, also, which means their AIs will be incompatible.
