With TA and 2.0 coming out, I had two small requests.

FIRST: If you go to the trouble of character contests and developing story, why are the characters not important? For instance, if you are facing the Terran Special Agent James Locke or working with the Korath Commander Ragash, make them the leader of their civilization for that scenario! It bothers me so much when I hear about a certain character- and he's just a 'randomly generated name'.

SECOND: If there are a bunch of different race portraits now, could you update already-existing minor races to have some variation among themselves? That way, three races don't look the same and the minor races are 'unique'.

THIRD: I never thought about this before. But I was playing as a 'spy' race, and I decided an awesome portrait for them would be the 'default' custom race picture (the blue profile of a human). There are no features for them that are visible. Unfortunately, this does not work well as a picture, so could it be made to work?
