Maybe this is too ambitious, I don't know...but I would love to play a non-human hive like race.

I'd start small, and with something already in game.

The game and lore already provides us with a hive race of xenomorph-ish, genetically engineered species...the insectoids. The lore is there to support it, but maybe more importantly in-game assets to start with. It would be cool to control a small hive, and slowly build it up to a goal of achieving a 'hive-mind' with sentience that can communicate with humans (trade/war). Eventually with  other goals of building bio-ships for space travel conquest infestation.

Its looks a little more than just IRC, since you can trade resources and even colonists.
