I'm finally not the one doing really long posts to discuss things with the GM!

What happened? Did the "precursor civilization" mentioned in the OP systematically murder most of the other races?

@Keyguyperson
I'd only want KeyGuy to be a co-GM if he takes a more active role. When stuff gets heated, it doesn't matter if there is a co-GM or GM, for the most part, it's left untouched or unenforced. Since KeyGuy has a history- I mean no offense, mind you- of being a somewhat distant observer, rather than an active moderator.

If he's going to be as active and involved as past experience, then I would say KeyGuy is not suited for the task.

Would it be alright if I play as an interstellar megacorp?
Basically I'd less of a civilization and more like a corporation of great number of companies that are present in at least hundreds of different civilizations.
I may be the largest shareholder in these corporations but my holdings would be subject to the local laws in general.
I'd only own a single planet which would be also the megacorp's headquarters.
As for tech it'd be technically a mish-mash of anything which can be traded for in the galaxy along with the company's own researches and improvements.

So yeah, basically a galaxy-wide megacorp which would trade with nearly anyone else.
Capitalism at its purest.

@Willy Vereb

How would this megacorp be formed?

I mean, first, this megacorp would have to originate from somewhere- likely being a corporation within a pre-existing nation. When there is enough trust between multiple nations that have made contact with one another, then they would have to try and branch out to other nations, would could be taken as a sign of aggression, politically and economically. That, and nations would be uneasy with a foreign corporation sticking its nose in and buying up everything to sell it to everyone else- it could either greatly increase economy, or greatly hinder it, while giving the corporation significant power if it becomes successful, because then they'd have a large part of the economic system.

That, and you'd have to create some kind of UN to create either a galactic currency, or to agree on a currency exchange that is suitable for all involved parties.

A megacorp in the early contact-and-establishment part of the roleplay wouldn't be logical. Unless someone is foolishly trusting of others, then getting a foothold in other alien nations and integrating into their economy would be problematic and difficult, especially with nations that have only one race- they might be xenophobic on a whole.

This is, of course, what I think, not the truth or the word of law.

Ah, I see what you mean. For example, everyone in the Mass Effect series were more or less on the same base, because everyone used the same technology that came from the same [dead] people, and etc. etc. etc.

The ancients- whoever they are- could provide the basis for many to get on their feet, resulting in a very similar system used in almost all nations that used the alien technology to take to the skies.

Eurgh

Why don't we just play it out?
Everyone has their own ship classes, but when/if (More likely if) a sort of United Nations is formed, then they can go and vote or whatever on various propositions and bills. For example, a couple nations could communicate, draft up a firm galactic standards for ships, and then propose it in the Galactic Conference or whatever, where all the nations can say yay or nay, and then if it passes, the spacey-UN can enforce it among its member nations and try to put it on outside nations.

It's also quite possible that if my nation were to be in such a UN of sorts, other nations could draft up a no-slaves no-indenturedservants proposal, pass it, and then my nation would be forced to give up significant industrial power and economic efficiency, to 'free' and establish rights and fairer quarters/treatment for the former slaves. Then my own nation would be at a political disadvantage, because those alien races would still be under the Hocklyn flag, but could wield political power, and would probably outnumber Hocklyns as a whole, and take political, economical, and industrial power within the nation.
