I may be getting ahead of the development team, or this may have already been suggested, and if so, my apologies. One thing I'm sure many people would like to see when creating their own empires is the ability to choose and create their own race 'portrait' and symbol. Would it be possible to create a folder for each of these and be able to put .JPG or .GIF files in there and be able to select them from a pop up list of thumbnails on the screen? Along with those, would it be possible to also release several backgrounds for which to put your race portrait on or even include some race/symbol portraits with the game? While I'm sure you have more important things that need done, I just wanted throw this out there.
