Race types

Steve, did you plan on adding race types such as cyborg or machine races?

And as a side, what about a tech line that increases the ability of computers(AI)?

I have started adding code for species that use a different primary gas instead of oxygen but I haven't finished it yet. That should add a lot of variety when it is finished. In terms of machine races, cyborgs, etc, I think that will have to be part of general racial traits. I also wouldn't mind some type of biological ships if I can figure out a way to add them that makes them sufficiently different without any game-breaking changes

Could you give me an example of what you mean? Improved fire control, etc.?

I've been reading Weber's Armageddon Empire series, and something along the lines of Dahak (though not so big).

Improved fire control is a good one. Maybe a small percentage increase in tracking speed.
