The Terran Khanate
I kind of have to say, if you wanted to introduce a new race to the lore, why more Humans? Is this a Stark Trek reference? I'm trying to see where they come from. Honesly, I'd rather have a MoO2 race. Is this a EA bonus or something?

They're a collectors edition bonus race, And they're humans that were abducted by the Antarans and bred to fight the Orion before being abandoned. Least thats what the wiki says.

Oh, okay... not really unique. Anywho, they also don't seem to have GNN VO.

GNN has missed several species mentions.

They're just a reskin. It's a little 'thing' for pre-purchasers. Give people a shiney new race as a pre-purchase reward and people lose their heads and cry foul. The Khanate are just a rebranded human faction with their traits switched over to be more aggressive. They don't add or take away much and are pretty much just a shiney. A shiney that I'll probably be playing as for the most part. I like my humans less 'Star Fleet' and more 'Oceania, Tis For Thee'.

Just make it some DLC that they can buy later when the game is full priced anyway and for a bonus race an extra 2 to 7 bucks. I mean they're neat, but if we're going to have a second human race make them vastly different.

Why vastly different? I love them as is, with their little Hannibal Lecter masks. You seem to equate different and better. Is that just how you feel or is there more to it?

Maybe none of the races feel quite distinct enough yet, but they just feel too much like emo Humans to me. :|

Other than that they have simular ships to the humans, they are pretty much different already.

I think the main point here is that the Khanate took very very little to implement, outside of the avatars. Ship wise, from what I've seen, they're literally a change of paint job. They're pretty much MoO's version of the Vaulters or Sheredyn from Endless Space. I'm assuming we'll see more of the old MoO races as DLC in a year or two. Maybe the more exotic non-oxygen breathers, fingers crossed.

The animated and voiced leader and advisers probally cost a bunch of time and money.

The only thing simular are the ships.

I would argue that the two Human races actually are vastly different. The Humans conquer the galaxy with words and a pat on the back, the Terrans conquer the galaxy with ships and a knife in the back. They are extremely different in that regard.

I get that's what you want to be the difference but in gameplay I find that Humans can fight just as well. Generally because there's little to do diplomatically but hold up other races with welfare.

Human combat is more diverse. The Terrans get a bean attack bonus, that is unused when you are flying missiles so I took beam weapons to war far sooner with them.

In an alternate universe I'd neglected my fleet and the galaxy thought I was their whipping boy. Built a fleet very fast and broke the back of the Meklar empire.

To me the difference is the space between, "HI nice to meet you, " and "Come get some. "

I love them.

I'd say they're more likely to stab you in the front than the back. Respect among enemies and all that.

This will definitely be improved over time. The Humans right now are intended to be the best race to play if you want to win a diplomatic victory.
