Pheace: *without the original story and aliens*
*facepalm*
That's over half the reason I love that series gone right off the bat. The style and quirkiness and loving humor that those races had was brilliant. And while Stardock can make a mean space/strategy game, I struggle to remember particularly loveable faction/races in any of their creations I played, but I'll remember the Spathi for life!
Their intent to allow people to custom and introduce their own custom races in their own uploadable star section doesn't help bolster my confidence in that regard either since it might make them make a mediocre effort at best with the justification that plenty of custom content will get uploaded anyway. And while I like custom content, I very, very much favor canon play over some unreliably put together star section by some random player.
here's the mail i received about the new reboot
