Swarm Race Idea

[Atrocities]

I had a thought about making a new racial type and modding it into the game. The swarm idea is basically a colony or hive concept.

The race will have only a few ships, these ships would serve as hive ships for lack of a better term. These hive ships would be big carriers for the other primary ship of the race, those being 200kt fighters.

The idea here is that the race does not need a large diversity of ships. They have these swarm ships, lots of them, that are packed around the galaxy by a hive ship.

The other ships would be a colony ship, transport, and various sizes of the hive ship.

The hive ships would be larger than standard carriers and the fighter bays would have to be modded to have a lot more cargo room for the larger fighters/attack ships.

Now I haven't worked out all the details, but I think this is a great idea for a new racial trait. Instead of building hundres of differant sized ships, the player would build thousands of 200 kt fighters, a few huge hive ships that would fairy the frighters/attack ships to differant systems.
