since i can't post on the 1.5 beta page here is my response to what baalzamon posted.
all of these numbers are based on the upgrades from ship size.
Use baalzamon's ideas. i translated the racial bonuses to percentages and made a few adjustments:
Race////Bonus////Drawback
Alskant ////40% increase cargo holds////50% increased cost WP and HP
Creonti ////50% increased armor bonus////20% reduced cargo holds
Human ////66% increased mine capacity////25% increased cost for SD's
Ik'Thorne////66% increased CD capacity////50% increased HP cost
Nijarin ////25% reduced cost on WP and HP////NO CD upgrades
Salvene ////50% increased shield bonus////50% increased cost for armor
Thevian ////25% reduced cost gadgets////10% reduced armor upgrades
WQ ////25% reduced cost WP////100% increased cost for SD's
Most adjustments were made with the original races in mind. There is no increased CRPH yet so thevians gt a gadget boost, being that they are so good with machinery. Nijarin were made to be their true warrior selves and made to be more of an offensive based race.
