Looking great!

Can we make adaptions to the existing races, too? Like making the Drengins nice and gentle while setting the Terrans to what we really are...?

One idea: Could there be random settings for some of the sliders, e.g. the level of aggression or the ethical alignments?

One thing though, Can we please have an information pop up window for the Racial Behavoiur window? I'd like to know what each racial behaviour does.

I too am hoping that there will be a random setting for the sliders as this would increase the variables that you would be playing against. However this is just a wish and i dont suppose it will detract from the game play experience. I always use random in everything else so i never get the same game twice & this would be nice in this area too.

Frogboy/Cari is this possible please??

Oh and my pardon the screenie looks great

One other thing.. Brad/Cari why the two different logos on the screen?

Are we going to be able to mod super abilities? I don't want the terrans always being diplomatic.

Ummmn S1Genocide you may want to look at the bottom left of the image. Super Abilities can be configured from there it would appear.

It also says 'this cannot be changed for the default races'. So no, I guess you can't.

If they allow us to make 12 default races, and each default race can mimic the original races perfectly with the needed changes, then we'd be able to do it.

I'd want to be able to modify the default races though, or randomize their traits some.

Very nice, looks good

Any chance that we can set their planet type preference?

Any chance of a more detailed customization screen for those of us who want to use it? It'd be great to be able to set the bonuses (or penalties!) individually for each race. For example, make everyone great at research without touching anything else.

Can you update the screen shot gallery...... that would be awesome, because when I tell people about the site, they check that out first. So far, I have 3 friends that bought the game, and they all said they looked at the screenshots.

To me, the screenshot just shows how you can customize their personality, the other tabs would allow customizing the starting techs, bonuses, etc, just like you would with a custom player race (or when customizing a standard race).

I have a couple of practical questions for Brad:

Will we be able to use this feature in Metaverse games?

If we will, how will the various settings affect our scores?

Precisely. WIth this you could make cuddly Drengin if you wanted. You can't mess with the originals but you can creative an identical derivative.

Now that sounds like a good idea

Can we had penalties as well as bonuses? For example ... make a race excellent at building, but crap at research? Or give a race lots of advanced tech, but make them universally reviled?

Maybe, but I suspect those tabs are exactly as they are now meaning you can pick racial abilities, but only up to the 10 point cap, and only from the specific abilities and bonuses already built in as options. If that's the case, then I'm hoping for more precise control than that.

Though now I think about it, I'm more interested in that control via the difficulty level, which I think I read is also going to be customizable.

Does the race behavior also affect the other races attuitues towards them? E.g if you make one with Drengin behavior will the Torians dislike them?
