The Borg, the Flood, and Species 8472...what do they have in common? They have no need for money.   

So, in dark avatar, I thought of making these guys a custom race in the future, but that one thing was bugging me. I think you should be able to take these guys a step further in dark avatar by replacing money with resources and getting extra revenue(resources), but would have no trade or UP votes. A major choice with a big advantage and draw back.

It just seems unrealistic to have races that have no need for money to have it and trade it.
