A list of or's: Psionic, Crystaline, Energy, Plasma, Mentalists.

By mentalists, I mean like in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, only without the mystical slant.

As mentioned on se.net - I'd like to see Energy and Mechanical beings added. Crystalline could also be an interesting option.

How about "ethereal", which would work well with gas-dwelling races.

As I mentioned in the SE.net forum, how about Energy, Digital, and Sentient Planet?

You could have "planet killers" - a la Galactus from the Marvel Universe... Destroying planets (into asteroids) in order to survive and produce energy.

That is unfortunately not possible. You can't force a race to need to "eat" planets to survive.

Also, I believe that the Space Monsters already in the mod have some ships that "eat" planets already.

I think the 3 types I suggested could have many valid technologies to flesh them out to the extent of the current 3 types in Adamant.

They certainly could... however, it is most difficult coming up with ideas for energy races... check out this page for what I have so far:

You could also add some plasma stuff for energy races if you don't want to make that a separate paradigm.

You could also add a bunch of items based on some of the more advanced theories in quantum physics.

Well you could, but it's a lot of work - you'd probably need to limit their tech tree to accomplish it, and take away their ability to make efficient use of planets as non-disposable resource generators.
