They already said there will be many and many smaller factions you can meet in your game. You can even meet species without space-traveling and observe them from their moon.

I would've said that it's abhorrent to take a person's liberty, but then you all would've just tried to turn that on me through the fascist angle. Really, my politics are more neo-reactionary than anything else.
You want to throw down over political beliefs? You've come to the right place (a video game forum about space adventures)
no matter matter what the color of our skin or our stance on slavery, or whether or not you would entertain the idea of siding with fascists over liberals, i think we can agree that all of our space ships make the same "pew pew pew" noises when they attack, and that should tell us that we have more common ground than we have differences

To be fair, it's not that inexplicable. This is a video game subforum about space pew pews, but it is part of a website which is about petty nationalism, historical nerdism and obscure political/religious ideologies.
Elwood, King of Zoot, would you both kindly shut the fuck up so we can discuss the game? That'd be optimal...
Let me quote the official website:
'with a vast number of Unique Random Species'
'Alternatively, design and name a custom species with the government and attributes you desire'
There are just 7 predesigned ones to choose but not seven species at all.
Hmm.. True, but it could be a fun endgame race to fight against, kind of like the Borg, everyone putting aside their differences to help defeat them.
Thing is their official statement contradicts the developer's statement.
I'd go with the developer. The marketing department may well have the wrong end of the stick (or they've changed the name from an earlier version).
I think he was saying just that. Race is a social construct because there is no definite gradient of variation to determine who gets this race and who that race.
Mix? I don't think the game will feature hybrids. I would guess that, as in EUIV, there are steeper penalties the more their culture is removed from yours.
No. The official statement don't say 'There are seven species'. Read the parts I quoted. The official statement says '7 different playable species' this is different from '7 species'. Even the official statement says there are many random and custom species.
Yes, it's "7 different playable species" and then we have a thread made by the developer who says "It's not 7 species! It's 7 phenotypes that all species are sorted in". Question is: does this mean there will be a wide range of species we can play within these 7 phenotypes?".
As pointed out earlier in the thread you could have more legs and still have arms. For instance an elephant with arms. Or a bear; that can stand up if needed, but walk on all 4 normally.
I hope that different phenotype prefer different types of planets, like Molluscoids preferring water worlds and Avians preferring low gravity worlds.
