The game is a wee bit harder and more fun if you have to discover the races' personalities. I suggest that there be a small scoring bonus for selecting Random attributes. Related to that, the flavor text gives away each race's "random" alignment, thereby negating the reason for choosing Random in the first place.

This forum seems hard to use. Is there a way to set user prefs? I'd like to mark all threads read when exiting, then display only those threads with new posts on my next visit -- standard BBS stuff, but I can't seem to find anyplace to set viewing options.

Thank you, magus. I had a hunch the interface change might be a feature, but I couldn't figure out what triggered it. I presume there's a corresponding shift when turning evil? Is there a workaround for the disappearing ships? Can I rename any files to have them called properly? Or shall I just wait patiently for a fix, like everyone else?
Anyone seen ship graphics disappear? Rangers and Dreadnoughts don't have icons on the galaxy map or in their build panels in my current game, begun under 1.04.59. Makes gameplay difficult. What's up with the interface changing color? It looks fine at the beginning of the game, then changes to a white background with blue iconic symbols. Looks like placeholder graphics to me. ~SDC~
