1) terrans can make CGs, and terrans make more income per turn/land/research with CGs than they do with commercial. Most terrans choose agriculture because of the even larger profit margin.
2) all gc/rt needs is one (1) active and dedicated CG miner and there will be too many goods on the market. There are so few active viral and tax miners who need TONS of CGs and too many guardian taxers who use very small amounts of CGs.
Ishamael, a reason alot of the staff and others didn`t get into your thread was because it would of required eting stephen to do a total recode to allow another race, code teh mods and stuff and free up more ship slots on the database.
Not saying it couldn`t be done, just that it would take alot of work and convincing of stephen.
I actually made a suggestion for a new race thats income is industry. Had ship designs and everything, but didnt get very much feedback or play on the forum...
Ive always wanted another race to have positive mod to industry..
I rather have a whole new race though which churns out cgs.. Seeing that the game is stagnanting.. It could be a drive forward for gc.. Except for fast server..
