I hope sombody's taking notes, these are excellent ideas.

I especially like the race specific values of items.. If the Zorg can fold space, a hyperdive may be nearly worthless to them, where other races may find it invaluable.

And if everything has a coin value, why can't I just find a bag of coins and simply pay (or sell) instead of trade? This might make the pirate mission unique.

Make friends/Call allies could work both ways. A distress signal from an allied alien could call you for help.

I do realize much of this would require new code, perhaps in an upcoming version?
