Every race has their special abilities unique to their race. These abilities can not be given away (however, compare Remote Control). These race specialties include:
- each race can build a different set of ship designs. For example, only the Bird men can build advanced cloakers.
- each race has a different mission 9 on their starships. For example, only Privateers can rob.
- many ranges and rates can be configured for each race (HConfig). For example, by default, Lizards have doubled mining rates and a 30:1 ground attack rate, Klingons have a 10:1 ground attack rate, Robots have a 4x mine laying bonus and the Empire gets free fighters on starbases.
SRace and PHost allow you to arbitrarily assign racial abilities to players.
See PHost Races for a high-level description of the standard races, and PHost Racial Abilities for details.
