How many words per language in this game?
I've worked pretty hard to learn the language of my starting system's native race, the Gek. It's been my primary focus so far. I'm up to ~60 words now, but I still have many conversations where I only understand one or two. Has anyone discovered how many words are generated for each language? There seem to be a limited number of sentences that they use, so I would ASSUME the language is relatively limited as well.

Wow...That's insane. Are the number of sentient races in this game finite(Read: Not procedurally generated)? I've seen references to the Korvax in my game, but I'd assumed that they were just another procedurally generated race.

Even with 150 words for the "Gek" I still can sometimes not understand a word from what they are trying to tell me!

Awww, man. I was hoping that they were procedurally generated as well. The way that they're set up, it feels like it.

there is a post on the internets where someone using the language exploit found 400 words for korvak, thats when he got the message there was nothing left to learn from the teach word dialog. (it took 6 hours btw)

Hrmm. Hopefully there's a half-decent number if it's not limited to 3.

The Vy´keen can have a pretty diverse apearance. Looked more like a Federation of different species to me. So maybe you just misunderstood something there.
I saw 3 different Races so far, in my game and in all viedeos i saw.

The problem is, you cant procedural generate background stories for those races. Each race has thier unique behavior and stories told by the shrines.

I've only three races so far

There's seems to be a lot of variation within a species. I"ve only met Gek so far and I've seen ones with beaks, ones with heads that look like hamsters, ones with their eyes outside their heads, and ones with a strange hammerhead shaped skull.
Subspecies fo the Gek empire perhaps?

Maybe they do that with all of them so while there are only 3 factions, each one is a bunch of different looking lifeforms.
