Races
Eleven races have been released so far with the ability for an
unlimited number. Tim will be releasing an the original ten races
from Version 3 plus another 4 from his imagination. Below is a list
containing as many of the races either released or in development
that I could find. Clicking on the race name will take you to the
authors website where more details are available.

Contraband
The price of the various items is controlled by market conditions.
If a race sells a large number of items into the black market the
price of the item will fall in price. If a race buys a large number
of an item the price of it will increase. If a race that demands
a certain type of contraband is doing really well the demand for
that item will increase forcing the price to go up. Buying contraband
items will take the items off of the blackmail market and decrease
the amount of crime in the area of all races that demand that type
of contraband. If a massive amount of contraband is sold on a planet
that is near a race that has a high demand for that contraband item
it will cause a big jump in crime on that race’s ground bases.

for one race to use all the farm land while other races use none.
Food is used by cities, resorts, and med labs.

may use those structures but cannot build anymore. Race specfic
structures cannot be captured by other races.
