Yes. Species_def.tbl should be what you want :) Just copy/paste/modify to make a new entry.

You need to edit species_defs.tbl, icons.tbl, sounds.tbl, and asteroid.tbl files

Yeah... it's a real pain at times, especially with the Icons.tbl... Fortunately, it's just tedious, not complex.

Suing them might prove difficult, unless you make them commit crimes in the country you live in. Otherwise, you will have to deal with international* courts and that may be tricky.


*Or, quite possibly, interplanetary, interstellar, intergalactic or at tops, interuniversal legislation, depending on where the hell they came from...  ;7
