I know I'm new, but to add my two cents:

1. These new races look awesome. I can't wait to expand my game with them.

2. I'm with holodrone for the disk.

As for the armless, two-legged alien, I'll toss out Uniped  (uni = one, ped = walker; one eyed walker... has 3 syllables like other alien names.... )

Just something I "discovered" when adding all the TFTD races to my game: Make the stats/aliens unique, otherwise they are just e.g. "Mutons with a different look" and feel bland. What i mean is make them e.g. the way the Lobstermen were in TFTD, know what I'm trying to say?  :)

I suggest examining the aliens we already have and looking for "holes" - stat configurations that haven't been used yet.

I'm attaching an Excel file with all UFO races as a reference.

wow!!!!!!! you left me speechless
Might this race clearly say Mutons Floaters and Cyclops are the same race but due to the mechanical-genetic alterations, doing different jobs, This Seems to be a super detector or something.

Wow... Just wow.

You totally have to do a Photoshop tutorial... Or just submit the process of painting on YouTube. :)

I don't like them. And in general I'm not fond of the remake.

Too angry. Angry look is more fitting for a monster than an alien.

One Polish translation coming up :)

Code: [Select]
  - type: pl-PL
    strings:
      STR_GAZER: Gap
      STR_HOLODRONE: Holodron
      STR_HOLODRONE_TERRORIST: Holodron Terrorysta
      STR_GAZER_SOLDIER: Gap Żołnierz
      STR_GAZER_MEDIC: Gap Medyk
      STR_GAZER_ENGINEER: Gap Inżynier
      STR_GAZER_NAVIGATOR: Gap Nawigator
      STR_GAZER_LEADER: Gap Lider
      STR_GAZER_COMMANDER: Gap Przywódca
      STR_GAZER_CORPSE: Zwłoki gapia
      STR_HOLODRONE_CORPSE: Zwłoki holodrona
      STR_GAZER_AUTOPSY: Sekcja zwłok gapia
      STR_HOLODRONE_AUTOPSY: Sekcja zwłok holodrona
      STR_GAZER_UFOPAEDIA: "Gapie przypominają stojące na dwóch nogach żółwie i w istocie są tak wytrzymałe, na jakie wyglądają. Ich masywne, ciężkie pancerze dają im nadzwyczajną odporność na wszelkiego rodzaju ataki, a w szczególności na amunicję przeciwpancerną i plazmę."
      STR_GAZER_AUTOPSY_UFOPAEDIA: "Najbardziej widoczną cechą anatomii tego stwora jest wielkie, pojedyncze oko; przypomina ono oczy skorupiaków, lecz jest znacznie bardziej zaawansowane. Jego pancerz nie jest po prostu noszony: mieści on wiele cyberwszczepów, które podłączone są do różnych organów stworzenia, więc tworzy jego stałą powłokę."
      STR_HOLODRONE_UFOPAEDIA: "Holodron to żyjąca, latająca broń artyleryjska. Stworzenia te są chronione przez bańki plazmy, która zakłóca trafiające w nie ataki plazmowe oraz ogień. Możliwe jest, że ich głównym przeznaczeniem jest walka z przeciwnikiem uzbrojonym w broń plazmową. Mechanizm ten wytwarza zbyt wiele ciepła i radiacji, by stosować go w pancerzach dla ludzi."
      STR_HOLODRONE_AUTOPSY_UFOPAEDIA: "Holodron to bardzo skomplikowana maszyna, zasilana wielkim jak na jej rozmiary rdzeniem napędzanym elerium. Wybiegają z niego dwa kanały, które służą do transmisji plazmy tworzącej bańkę wokół całej istoty. Nie ulega wątpliwości, że rdzeń może wytworzyć też dodatkową energię, a następnie wystrzelić ją w formie silnego promienia lasera."

BTW you have a typo in "crustacean".

Great mod, thanks!

A degree in art should be recommended in designing 'alien races'.
