Something urgently needs to be done about minor races.
As it stands, they are boring. They do nothing special.
If anyone has played Birth of the Federation, they will know it can be fun if you give each minor race unique abilities and different tech levels (which advance with age). Then you have bonuses from being their allies/them joining your empire/conquering them.
Is this ever likely to happen in GC3?
Main reason I ask, is that the game as it is now, is quite dull. Not much really happens, this could add a new dimension to it.
