A thought on Neutral Races

This is very exciting to hear. I may actually do this. Perhaps it's already been done in a mod. Hear's the plan:

Bobroba States: no clue. Ideas?

Nultoh Group: ok they have advanced sight, so give them a level 5 cloaking sensor. If they have a partnership alliance - you get to see minefields laid in their sector, maybe even get them to trade a ship or sat that has the sensor on it.

Kithra Consortium: I dunno, they're warlike some sort of advanced troop. Maybe you can convince them to sell them to you or you can steal them if you conquer them.

Cluk-Ruk Republic: So they're aquatic. I don't know where to go here. Simpler life support component.

Texrak Hegemony: All right, tough quadrapeds. Give them a shock troop. A real tough troop.

Zynarra Holdings: Ice beam weapons. Ok, that's just crazy.

The basic idea in each case is the same, a racial tech trait that you can benefit from, if you keep them alive.
