I'd like to see Stardock increase the interactivity of the minor races, if only to make them a bit mor annoying or increase there presence in the game.

Most games I have at least two or more minor races. They steal techs, get attacked by the major races, create lots of starbases, try to beat you to the good resources, you can make money out of them by selling techs to them, but most of the time they don't do too much else. Although I did see them beat the Altarians once.

I don't know the answer to my own question here. But there must be a way to make them more a part of the game. i.e. more annoying so that you do have to deal with them in more ways than one. Maybe in Dark Avatar they could raid your mining asteroids or transport ships?

Any thoughts on the matter.
