New NPC factions...

I on the other hand, am more open minded about the idea.

I agree with Dab and Hood because it will be very hard to implement your idea in a balanced way into the mod and therefore it will become less freelancer-ish. I am not closed to the idea, though i think you might want to make things connected with those Dom Kavosh people rather than an entirely new entity.

We already have the nomads, but it wouldn't hurt to have a few overly powerful artefact weapon platforms floating about in nomad space. Mabey even artefact capital ships (unbuyable of course), but as I said, it will have to be implemented in a very small way, hence being only a very small part of the game, and being rare occurences in space.

I am not in favour of space crab/organism things at the moment, but I will accept it if i see a good chance of it enhancing the mod (in my opinion of course).
