[quote=@ArenaSnow] I'm not much of a fan for using stats, but considering this is a sort of universe that can be expanded and solidified on a solid resource (wiki), I might consider bringing in my Kallathani or Hydran race concepts... or heck, something else. I'll watch and see if I'm still interested when a few more people get on board. [/quote] The stats are, to be honest, just there to make sure that everyone can easily figure out what other people have. I found that in other RPs of this type I've been in, without a ship system like the one I've implemented people would either put too much stuff on their ships or too little, resulting in a lot of confusion. Same with the technology system, without it people would either take way too long to get new technologies or research them too quickly. I've tried my best to keep it simple and within reason - however, there is still some time before the RP starts to make changes and adjustments to it. I'm open to suggestions! I'd love to hear some of your ideas for alien races. They're one of the things that make this interesting, after all! Speaking of, the plan I have for my race is for them to be a driver of conflict in the RP. Not necessarily hostile all the time, but complicated to deal with and subversive. That was another problem I had in the other RPs I was in, everyone ended up being best buddies and there was usually never any opposing alliances or anything like that to drive the geo (or stellar?) political scene. Hopefully my idea for a race will result in some interesting political situations. Thanks for your interest guys!
