More Aquatic races?
As I work my way through my races folder and the SotAS racedir to fill in the wiki shipset list ( http://wiki.spaceempires.net/index.p...psets_for_SEIV) I have been refamiliarising myself with many shipsets I hadn't even looked at in 2 or 3 years.
Anyway, it occurs to me that there really aren't many underwater races. You've got the Sergetti and the Fazrah stock races, and my KanesS are semi-aquatic, but i can't think of even one more aquatic race.
With in the region of 300 shipsets out there, I find it surprising that no-one thought to create another underwater race.
Anyone want to prove me wrong on this?
BTW, if anyone wants to help me with the race list, please do. I've been going for about a week and I've managed about 20-30 races (which some help from violist).
It takes quite a while to look up a race, convert and upload the race_portrait and flag images, decide which categores they fit in, look up working download and preview locations, then research their role in fanfic and put the whole thing into a prperly-linked Wiki page... |

Re: More Aquatic races?
I think one of KevinArisa's shipsets features a race of aquatic space-faring dolphins - the Oxidran?

And the Space Sharks. Don't know if the people are aquatic or not.

Re: More Aquatic races?
We need more variety in general. A race of squids would be a good tribute to the Gazurtoids of Starflight.  Heck, since a fan contribution doesn't have to worry so much about copyright restriction, why can't we actually have the Gazurtoids?
And why don't we have any insect races other than 'mantis/ant' creatures? (Klackon clones, basically.) There are all sorts of other possibilities. What about a race of 'ticks' who live off some sort of huge animal hosts? (A variant on the Que-Cappa perhaps, but more interesting than 'ants'...) What about a race of 'grubs' that don't finish their life-cycle for decades, doing all their 'civilization' activities in immature form and then reproducing only at the very end of their lives? |

Re: More Aquatic races?
What about the Memnorak? They are spiders. Not quite insects, but still different from ants.  |

Re: More Aquatic races?
The Cluk-Ruk are also aquatic, both in stock and my expanded shipset.

Yep, the Oxidran are friendly little dolphins. You can see them here.
Oxidran Commonwealth
SOTAS needs to be updated. If you are making a complete list, make sure to check SE.net, NASY, and my site. Several recent shipsets are either finished or nearing completion that arent yet mentioned at SOTAS.

Now that would wake a great shipset. Enough ST! |

Ugly and scary.
The're probably complete pacifists who can't understand why everyone keeps running away/loosing their lunch.
