Why are we still seeing aliens in computer games resemble characters from Star Trek? I get bummed when a space exploration game cranks out fairly homogenous, humanoid-looking aliens to deal with. Star Control 2 gave us wild and kooky aliens that really were alien as heck... why not have that in GalCiv as well? The AI would not need to be revised, simply insert a more varied array of critters to deal with (squid-bugs with gas brains, radioactive spore clouds, hyperintelligent shades of the color blue, etc. etc.).
If anybody ever comes up with a nice mod of the game to insert really neat looking aliens in place of the stylistically dull Drengin, Drautha, etc., let me know!
