Default Re: New Race: The Zeta Reticuli

I found them referred as the Zeta Reticuli, and shortened to just Zeta in some UFO page. Many races take their name from their home planet, so I don’t see anything wrong with that.

Deathstalker if you’re reading this, I gave them the AI you had made for the SW-EMP3 (now discontinued) with little changes.
Some changes such as the low reproduction and physical strength are for roleplaying reasons, though probably shouldn’t need to be so extreme, but feel free to revise and keep tweaking the AI files.

Hey, no prob. VERY nice by the way. Love the shields pics and Battlestation! As to AI updating I have bEEEn twEEEking various sets rEEEcently.....

In other words I have been upgrading the EEEvil Empire, the Red Gauntlets (adding Drones) and the Sw-Emp1. Mainly the research.txt and ship design. That and one day I must finish the speech file for the EEEvil as well as come up with a better shipnames.txt.

Have to play a game with the 'greys' this weekend

Edit: Question: Andres, are you going to have a pre-Empire Star Wars shipset (ie, use the ships in Phantom Menace and Clones?? Those proto-star destroyers are mega cool!)

Nice work though. Very nice work.
In Stargate they're called 'The Asgard' which is a theft from Nose mythology. Asgard was the home of the Norse gods.
