Uplifting Cockroaches in a Tomb World

[Daryl]

Due to the harshness of Tomb Worlds
wouldnt it be a bad idea to uplift Cockroaches into sentience and having them adapt and colonize tomb worlds?

I mean dont forget that show Terra Formars! and what hapened to the forced evolution of cockroaches in Mars.

I have same idea actually. lol, just met evolving race of cockroaches in nuked to ashes Sol III world, you know, bad luck ;) It should be fun. They are highly adaptable. But seriously - lacks of traits, even with being modified as it seems. I have only 1 gene points for them. But I see usual 3 GP for other races available. And one is even 4. So I guess its more about fun, than for use. My synths are more promising than this cockroaches..

They can actually colonise everything. They may be limited/boring, but they have a universal colonisation buff ;)

edit: As to why you want that, the short answer is: because they're a second species that can do more than boring robot/synth stuff well ;)

...and it was not till 500 years later when the cockroaches colonizing a planet was left neglected that they begin to change, with each cockroach having super human strength

Nope not a bad idea at all.
