Just a few quick questions, here. (P.S.: I'm playing the latest build of Dark Avatar).
Firstly, is it just my perception, or do the Yor start off with significantly more powerful bonuses (and better techs, too) than any other race? Most noticeably, they begin with Ion Drives and Stellar Cartography, two key elements in the "colony land-grab" tactic when beginning a game (I'm sure you vets know all of that, though).
Also, do the extra five ability points you get when creating a custom race tend to bring them on a level with other races that have inherent abilities, or are you going to end up with something slightly weaker (but more specialized, if you choose) than pretty much every pre-made race? (Note: Don't get me wrong, I like all of the default races and think they're very well done).
Finally, I sometimes get confused when trying to reset a race's statistics and settings back to default. What I mean is, sometimes, I want to reset the name, home planet, leader, chosen abilities, and political party back to what they were before I messed with them. Seems like they choose their political party at random (true?) whenever you "Clear", and it also seems like the Terrans always start with all of their ability points already spent, even when you "Clear" them.
