schema recently stated theyre starting on the universe update, and last i heard, after that they wanted to start working on things like creatures and flora to populate that universe. So i thought, why dont we pitch in some ideas for very basic, super simple critters and plants that we feel...

So I've been reading some rather old literature like this: Universe Update: Star Systems, Territory, and Space. Anyways, I've compiled my own list of things I would like to see (or see removed / not implemented) in The Universe Update. Feel free to add your own suggestions below 1) Remove...
