				 Re: Nomadic Races 
 Like everyone else stated, this has been proposed and (by many people) attempted in terms of modding.  I think everyone agrees that a PROPERLY balanced nomadic race would be a great addition.  The two major hurdles would be to:
 (1) have Aaron hard-code the limitations/disadvantages in (no planetary building); and
 
 (2) the abilities of certain facilities (point generation, storage, population, etc.) would have to be changed to be usable by components as well.
 
 There are also a host of minor hurdles that would have to be hard-coded as well (pop growth on spaceships, morale of colonists, etc.)  The rest can all be modded.
