Differences between Player and AI Races
In Stars Beyond Reach there is a difference if a player controls a race or the AI. The most significant difference is that regardles of which race the player chooses, he always has access the same technology tree and buildings. Some social skills however might change related to the race. AI races have access to race related buildings that change both the appearance and funtionality of specific buildings. This means also that AI races play a little different compared to the player. Soem core buildings are however always the same only the look is different. Races controlled from the Ai behave also a little different compared if the player would control the same race.
