More features for the custom race?

from GalCiv2 Forums
How about having a cache of pictures of aliens (not the ones already in the game) to choose from, and maybe a few more symbols too. And could there be a box to type like a bio of the race (they hate kittens covered in spikes, for example)

imo a waste of energie, thats details, but doesn't add anything to the gameplay.

Sounds like a good idea, I for one would like it.
maybe instead of having more you alien picts, you could have some more human like pictures i.e pirates, rouge humans ect..
just my two pence

It's actually pretty simple to make your own. Just refomat any pic to .png (most photo editors have that ability), and resize to right size(logos are 200 x 200 not sure about portraits) , then just stick in your mod folder they got one for logos and one for portraits.

I think Bio wil be good and to coose your own planet texture (what that is already possible but it will be easyer if we just pick some names to the planets in the system.

Just to update the portaits are 256 x 256. I went and did one to make sure it worked and it did. btw The logo and portrait folders are in the sam folder as the mod folder not actually in it as i had said earlier.

I kinda would like to have unused ablity points converting into tech points and visa versa...or just plain ole more options.

I always though it would be cool if the symbols were dynamic and corresponded to the colours chosen for your race/ships.

Yeah, more pictures would be really cool.

Really though, in terms of gameplay, in order to have more race abilities, we really need to have a more diverse planet system than just a simple Planet Class number. Read this thread here if you're interested:
