Pretty simple...replace all the races (including minor races) with stereotypical human nations that are close to whatever alien race they are replacing. Sort of like in the game Freelancer. Customize their default ships/colors/portraits. Maybe even dialogue text. Has anyone already done this? Not that I dont like the alien races or anything.
You cant do it without a mod though? How stable are mods in this game? That is why I avoid using them...in other games there are always stability issues or it screws up the graphics or something. Have the DEVs ever given a reason for not including it in the core game?
I am new to this game. One of the big things for me in this game is ship design. I love making my own ships. A lot of space strategy games do not give you the option to modify your ships (especially visually), and those that do (Homeworld for example) only do so to a limited degree.

So the main reason to go Democracy is for economic benefits?

And yeah, the ship customization was about 90% of the appeal this game had to me in the first place. I dont suppose that the developers plan on adding things like custom weapon colors and stuff like that? Just curious.
I have only had the game about 2 days. I can play it well enough that I have won a game on Easy setting already. But I have a question regarding propulsion: What is the difference ( as far as the game is concerned) between sub-light propulsion (Ion drives, Impulse engines, ect..) and warp drives? It seems that no matter how many and what types of engines I use, my ships crawl across the screen at a snail's pace. Do I need to do something special to activate these engines? Do s
