With 120 races I'd assume we would only have half of those space-faring. Of those sixty let's say half of those again would only require a single design, with perhaps increases in weapon strength over time. Of the remaining thirty, ten would have three designs to reflect the advances through the eras, and twenty races, two.

120 Races.

60 - No ships
30 - One overall design.
10 - Three designs.
20 - Two designs.

That would make 100 separate models. In a collaborative effort I don't think that would be a problem. I cold probably make a dozen a day easily, it would be the texturing which would take a bit longer.

Not all the races even need ships for each era, it can be cut down to the one or two ships we've actualy seen. To makes ships like the cargo ships, simple diamond like shapes can be used with a high quality skin and texture, just like what was down with Homeworld. It'll cut down on modeling time significantly alhtough making skins is the hardest I find.

Okeey I finally have fixed some minor grammar errors in the race descriptions, and will say some things here that have to be done, I also have organized all the files on my computer, and will do this also with the pictures now. I would be thankful if someone who is excellent in the English grammar and stuff would take a look and write down any errors that are left. I also would like to hear input, if you want to have a race description changed then please tell me how it needs to be changed, and I will consider it:

First of all the Big random events:

1 I think that it would be wrong to place the Sphere Builders along the same lines as the other races. I much more prefer them as a thread. Yes I know another one, we already have the Borg and perhaps even Species 8472. But I propose to make the Borg the main attraction while putting species 8472 and the Sphere Builders as a somewhat less dangerous major random event.

2 We already know what we expect from the Edo guardian, I want the same to happen with the Ocampa and the Array. This is much easier, and why put in so much difficulty? I really favor this, but I will wait on what you have to say about this matter. Should you be randomly taken to this Array? Or should this option stay out?

3 How should we place the Sytherians. I know a use for them, why not make them a random event? Some ships would randomly go a certain point of space, where you will get some technology or science bonus and will get to see a little movie in the network news thing. One question remains, should they be send back?

4 I am not sure about the Na’Kuhl. I either need a other picture, or they will be out. I don’t want a species in a Nazi costume. I just think that it isn’t nice to put that in.

5 I still need race descriptions of the following races:

Iconnu (not official race name, because that one is unknown. You’ll have to put up with something, one indication is that they are hired to kill people).
Kaelonian
Nausicaans
Kantare
Pakled
Markalians
Menk
Tarkaleans
Tellerite
Vorgons
Wadi
Valakian
Vori
Yridians

There are perhaps a few others

60. Zibalians

You see that is really a big list! We have to look at how many races do we want to have the capability for spaceflight, and how many minors do we want to have that will stay at the ground?

7 These are the races that are going to be in the game as minor races or non spacefaring races.

12. Malcorians
13. Mintakans
14. Risans
15. Talosians
16. Vhnori

Small list I know…

8 These are the races that are yet unknown or uncertain for me, where to place them. I still don’t have enough minors races that can’t go into space. So we could drop a few here.

1. Algolians -> Rarely use warpflight
2. Angosians -> Barely reached warpflight
3. Antedeans -> Don’t like to go into warpflight
4. Arbazan -> NOT YET KNOWN
5. Argrathi -> NOT YET KNOWN
6. Barzan -> NOT YET KNOWN
7. Boslics -> Don't use warships, only freighters and perhaps colony ships
8. Bre'ellians -> They tend not to use ships
9. Cairn -> Barely reached warpflight
10. Caldonians -> NOT YET KNOWN
11. Chalnoth -> Barely reached warpflight, buy ships from other races
12. Coridan -> Barely reached warpflight
13. Corvallens -> They are mercenaries
14. Dopterians -> Use trade vessels and unmanned attack ships
15. Dosi -> Have spaceflight, but limited into trade vessels and some defense vessels
16. Elaysians -> Only a handful have left their homeplanet
17. Evora -> Barely reached warpflight
18. Flaxians -> Rarely use spaceships for their empire, only for personal benefits
19. Grazerites -> Use barely ships for the defense of their empire
20. J'naii -> They don't use many ships to defend themselves
21. Karemma -> Are a race of trade
22. Meridians -> NOT YET KNOWN
23. Nakuhl -> Should they come in the game
24. Nyrians -> Only use ships for attack, and either buy them or steal them from pirates.
25. Ornarans -> Only have impulse engines

9 First of all to a certain question of people here. All races that will be able to expand can be given troop transports and colony ships, to build bases and colonize worlds. If you don’t want them to have starbases then let these starbases out of the module. Also MajorDiarr, we will try to give every race ships that are more aimed towards them, we do not want 20 races with the same ships. So I think that in time all races will have different ships.

10 I haven’t added a lot the past month, this was mainly because I really was very busy with a lot of other things. Still I tried to post and do some things every day, and because I will have more time free in the coming weeks or even months, I will make more work to it. I will try to create some more system names, finally finish the basic beta technology tree. Will finish the rest of the race discriptions and pictures. Will make a list of all the randoms that will come into the game. This is what I am planning in the coming time, also I want to try to make some of these LCARS only now for other races like the Tholians or the Breen.

Great list. My comments:

1. Algolians -> Rarely use warpflight
2. Angosians -> Barely reached warpflight
3. Antedeans -> Don’t like to go into warpflight

They should have ships but tend to make only a few of them and they don't expand.

4. Arbazan -> NOT YET KNOWN

Those that arent known could be minor for starters, if anything comes out later ships can be added, right?

7. Boslics -> Don't use warships, only freighters and perhaps colony ships

This would be interesting. A race with only freighters and colony ships. Maybe they should have only very light armed freighters and not expand.

11. Chalnoth -> Barely reached warpflight, buy ships from other races

Question: Will "minors" trade with each other? In sense the Chalnoth could buy ships from say Acamarians?

That's all.

You know that would also be an option. I totally forgot about that one. So we could give them the possibility to have say one type of ship, but only not capable of expanding.

I am not entirely sure about trading between minors. I should ask this. I do know that module races can trade. I will ask Gavin when he is online and will post it in this topic.

Here's my description for the Tellarites, it was back on page 15 (o, how long ago)

Tellarites

The Tellarites are a porcine race from the planet Tellar. They are highly skilled at architecture and metallurgy. Tellarite technology is on par with most races. Their ships are well-armed and well-armored. Tellarites are characetized by their thick fur and deep-set eyes. They are a quarrelsome species, considering argument a form of sport. They are normally a turstworthy and peaceful race, but are also very emotional and will quickly turned to rage if given reason to do so.

There is also this one from BlasterMaster555 which was back there too

Pakleds

Pakleds are not known for intelligence. Their ships appear to be rudimentary cargo craft, but the opposite is true. They pretend to have a "broken" ship to lure in rescuers, then take some hostage in exchange for more technology. Almost all of their technology has been acquired from other races. They speak a very rudimentary language, reminiscent of their rapid advancement into the interstellar age. They are not very powerful in combat, and are only hostile when they want "things to make us go".

Thanx for letting me know! There was a lot of rechanging, because stuff got deleted by some error. Anyway i have those two now.

I also just finished another one for the Kaelonians, im not sure what category they'd be in, it's kinda a toss-up

Kaelonians
The Kaelonians are a race from the planet Kaelon II. They have minimal spacetravel and are the undisputed masters in fusion technology. Their species is distinguished by the crimson rays on their forehead. Their culture practices the Resolution, a ritual suicide committed when a Kaelonian reaches the age of 60, so he does not become a burden to others.

OmniQ i already have one for the night beings/race:

Here's another description:

Markalians
The Markalians are a race distinguished by their orange skin, elongated faces, and facial spikes. Markalian spacecraft are lightly armed and capable of low warp speeds. They lack technological prowess and are behind the progress of many other races. They are an aggressive race who are often hired as mercenaries and bodyguards. The Markalians are territorial of their space and protective of their property and profits.

Just as a suggestion, if you need another minor non-spacefaring/primitive (although we already got alot of minors), you could use the kolarans (those reptilian-like people from Nemesis)

Back from my exam, now lets get down to business.

Do you want me to check the gramma of all the races (Including the original races on the first 2/3 pages) or do you want me to just check the later ones?

I don't mind checking it all out if anyone wants me to.

How should I point out any mistakes? (I'm not saying there will be any) Shall I rewrite the entire race, or shall I just say line one is wrong...so-and-so is spelt...etc?
