I hope that for release day, the Altarian's race description is changed. If the most interesting thing we can say about them is that they look like humans, then we have a problem. We are in Gal Civ III. About time they get something else. Look at the Iridium!!! That said, the Drengin may use some new description too (altough by itself, it's quite better and informative than the Altarian's).

Today I culturally flipped by first planet in the game. I was playing Iridium and placed a cultural base near two Drengin worlds.  I got one (no warning or aything, of course, just the idle colony button) and it came with a Drengin colony ship that I could not eject (or anything else) from the planet.

Should we be allowed to rename enemy planets/ships in our view range? We can actually do that but somehow I don't feel that we should be able to do it. I'd not like my enemies renaming my home planet while it's still under my control...
