New ideas about independent colonies.(Not sure where to post it)

I love those independent colonies resided by alien races, especially those already have populations over 1000m! But isn't it strange that they are not primitive since they have space tech? I do wish that there would be new primitive races still living in caves.
So you send a colony ship there and they would think you a god; Send a troop there and they would think you a devil. You can either guide them to a new era so they would be extremely loyal friends/citizens to you. Hey, maybe they would invent something unique! Also you could just enslave those pity creatures and have the development boosted, but don't expect them to be on your good side forever!

I think have a sub set of races rather then the space faring 19 races would be a great idea.

I absolutely agree with you. It's actually been requested in both the main wishlist and the modder's masterlist, though no dev comments about it as yet.
Not really suitable for the tech support forum. If I were you Gas Can, I'd post this in the wishlist thread. It's been requested before, but no harm in doing so again. If there are enough voices then maybe we'll get it in the game. I don't think it would be a very difficult thing for Elliot to implement either.

Non FTl races that have special attributes would be great and a political system to match the concept.I think the big hurdle is actually the 3D art.

I assume you mean something along the lines of
Star Trek: BOTF?

Sort of. Got to admit that I got the idea from ST, but Voyager in fact!

In ST:BOTF, each minor race that was taken over conferred a bonus (sometimes to the planet, others empire-wide) and a minor-race specific structure - which had (usually) a similar but greater effect as the minor race racial bonus.
In game balance terms, this made certain minor races very important. Maintaining the balance, I think, would be the biggest issue of concern for any DW discussion. Technically, I doubt it would be difficult to add minor races.
