I think the game's insect races should be more varied rather then all being bad guys.

Seriously, in the canon story line, so far anyway, all the insectoids have a positive diplo with each other - and all of them have negative dilpo with just about everybody else. I guess I never saw them as evil, but as very interested in a very different frame of reference.

So in one game the mammalian types might have been the bad guys and the insects the alliance of good, while in the next game it might be the other way around.

Poor stereotyped bugs!

Would you be intimidated by a man-cat that talks like Yoda?
