Just like the topic says, what will your custom race be like.
I really want to make a race that uses techno-organic, sentient starships (like Moya in Farscape) with ships that look smooth, clean, and organic.
The borg
unfortunately i have no artistic skill.
Fortunately im sure it wont be long before somone makes a downloadable borg ship collection
Until I see the custom race editor options as well as espionage wont be in on release I'm not sure but something along the lines of this.
Space Herpes...and if you get that reference, you're old.
I would like to make a sentient machine race that is obsessed with utter neutrality. If another race is more powerful than them, they will want to knock them down, if another race is less powerful, then they'll give them tech and ships.
Since you ask, all races from Star Control 2, maybe Star Control 1 too.
Beautiful birds, Hawk like birds that hate the Yor and live in atmospheric mountains. Complete with a game history, tech tree, tech descriptions, and art. The purist part of my soul has gone into creating the Braettian Stellar Empire.
God that would be a awesome official race though, maybe there should be a create a race contest?
DARCA 
Sweet ideas. And DARCA, send that contest to the devs and see if they like it.
Lol, THIS is the way we send ideas to the devs!* (please please please please please make a race contest so I can win!)
The evilest races I can. My list of opponents in GC2 included Borg, Sith, Zanarians, Ori, Vagar, Banyon Rift Pirates, The Holy, Necron and The Kahns. Such an evil galaxy needs the noble Federation to light the way with energy beams.
I'll make a pragmatic, militaristic breakaway race of humans, also space hamsters and space dolphins.. or maybe a space hamster, dolphin, otter and human alliance.
B5's Shadow's & Vorlon's, races from IG1,2, maybe some old Warhammer 40k. So many cool races to choose from.
f3l1xd4c4t if you need portraits and logos for warhammer, I have tons I'd share with you.
I'll either make or download all the main races in Babylon 5, Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica (New and Old) several D&D Spelljammer races, Also in most of these games where I can create an empire/race I create one for each of my RW friends. I did the same for GC2.
Also I'll download a lot of races you guys post as well like maybe these Warhammer ones. Not familiar with Warhammer (other than the old Warhammer Online game)
It would be nice to be able to customise the torians. I'm sad to see them go. I think they should make where you can through customffactions bring back drengins koraths torians and korx.
There are three Star Control games. I guess the closest to Galactic Civilizations would be Star Control 3, since that had colony management. Or Star Control 1, which didn't have a adventure mode. Story wise, there two specific similarities, the planetary shield idea and in GalCiv 2: Dark Avatar, Drengin = Druuge/Ur-Quan Kzer-Za, Korath = Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah. Star Control Wiki

Pff, Original ideas? That is a writer's job.
lol yea, I'll make a race of Drones like my avatar and have fun with that. Who needs creativity and new IP when theres Hollywood knock-offs and spin-offs!
