Yeah, I know, I made mantis(some kind of bug reporting system that some indies use. I know Dwarf Fortress also uses it) complaint about that once on Arcen.
And yeah, I also had same idea about peltian fear empire :D
Eh, would still have been cool if Androns had something similar to Peacekeeper from Swordofthe Stars...*shrugs* But yeah, Androns are rather non offensive. I think they can't even conquer planets, right? At least I think they can't anymore in current versions... Or is it matter of hating other species enough?
Alternatively, Androns could get ultimate building that raises all planets RCI through the roof which is bad thing since it would also apply to hostile races :P Meaning that they are being too helpful for their own good

So, are we allowed to post links to other forums? Cause I decided to run a Let's Play on this game and I am running it on Sufficient Velocity. You do not need to register to read it, but wanted to mention it to those who are interested.
Hmm, so this game is getting an expansion in summer. Named "Betrayed Hope"(apparently Star Wars New Hope reference :P or something, I dunno) and features something called Obscura.

Expansion pack? Already?
Can you link to announcement?
Patch notes always have interesting info... For example, previously... Well you remember how docking at lab at first mission gives first race tech? Well, before previous patch, you gained 8 tech that first race goth if you docked at bay. Meaning that for some reason if you fought teh ships, you didn't have any bonus tech. Now after previous patch you have 8 tech regardless of whether you give copy of them to first race or not. Thats... Weird oversight.
Anyway, the announcement? Here.
Well, there isn't really much info about it, the dev is teasing about it so you can cling the info from his post in this and various threads. He mentions Obscura ships in one thread so that pretty much confirms that they will be some kind of external force to game. My guess is that they are this games' version of Antarans from Mo O 2 aka "npc" only always hostile race.
Here's quote from that thread by the dev "This expansion has three anchor features. I will leave you with three words: Betrayal. Invasion. Obscura."
Though that thread does mention that Last Federation did really great. Best in shortest time apparently. I guess that explains why both it and AI Wars are going to get expansion, just check the green schedule box
Also, because I don't remember if I said it before ship designs in this thread have pretty good chance of getting into game and replacing current tron line designs. Just read the thread to know why :P They are REALLY awesome designs(and yeah, Devs said that they are going to eventually put them in game if author of them allows that and he clearly doesn't mind it)

Re:Ships
YES YES YES THOUSAND TIMES YES!
Current ship look little bit bland and generic at the moment. Those ships? Hot damn, those are awesome.
Hoo boy, lastest patch(the one that came out today I think) has even more new changes.
Now the non federation races start building special buildings in fear of federation and Thoroxian ground combat power(It was previously 24. For comparison, burlust had 8) got nerfed in return for them getting more tech and now they have evolution mechanic where they get higher combat power over time. I guess they will eventually reach their old 24 power rating, the new one is 12.
So after a while, new patch finally!
And this is the patch that includes new awesome ship art!
Beware the Nice Ones...
That actually reminds me... I need to make a game where Peltians form a Fear Empire. Just for irony of it.
Andors are actually pretty cookie cutter group, really. They are nothing special, in anything. Yet, they are a good base for Federation, if they got federationalist party in their senate. It's just bad that the game randomly picks parties for them at the start, so you might not get them.
Andor with federationalist can convince other species to join federation.
