WoahWaitNoxter!?

I was reading some of the intelligence reports on different species, and came across the Noxter.  I had completely forgotten that the Noxter were a playable race in the first version of FO I played.  It will be a massive effort, but I look forward to their return, if at all possible.

I understand there is a hard-coded 6-race limit to this game?  I feel like I'm getting one more reason to start learning how to Mod Armada II so I can actually help instead of just spamming your forums 

Does anybody here remember Noxter?  Which patch were they in anyway?

I think they were 2.0, somewhere before 3.0 at least.

The number of races isn't hardcoded, I had around 8-9 seperate playables once.

Ive had more  

But yeah, no hard coding when it comes to that.

there is not race limit in armada, however there is a bug in the multiplayer host screen that prevents selection of races above a certain number (6 or 8, not sure anymore). wasn't able to solve it so far, however i haven't put much efford in it.

I think there's a problem where putting too many races in (somewhere over 20, including playables and NPC's), the game would crash if you tried to select a ship on your team that was from a race over that number.

there is no race limit in armada. a test version i had back those days had 200 test factions.

the multiplayer screen only supports 6 factions so far, as DOCa explained, but we will solve this issue once we need to
