Making some Random Events into dialogue encounters with Alien Races - a la Star Control 2 sound?

from Stardock Forums
Maybe I'll submit..or maybe the official guys may want to make a little dialogue routine for random events that are encounters with alien races?

Right now..All i can do is post an alien picture and have
the event file say "Hello Humans, We are the _______...
we are in need of etc etc"

and have the choices be

good
"I'm sorry..but we can't give you ..etc etc" (moral penalty -10 %) etc

neutral

evil

"Yes..we will give you that in exchange for 500 bcs..hehe"
(cash + 500 bc)

the entire thing written like a dialogue.

I could make maybe 10 of these...as random events....

but you stardock guys may be able to create random events
with aliens that require a few replies by the player and more of a dialogue with the aliens before the event is over
and bonuses, penalties, and or prizes are sorted out.

Duglis: So you have an alien race that is not a player in Gal Civ come and ask for stuff from the human player?

If we had bartering in the trade screen, the sort of thing that you're suggesting wouldn't be too hard, but we actively made the decision to not put bartering into Gal Civ. So, I don't think that we would be putting work into this sort of thing.

Well yes...but i also just meant something less as well...maybe just an event based on meeting an alien race that is not a player and galciv. The event would
just be written as a dialogue. I shall email you an example :)
