I can't remember but aren't the Collectors controlled by Reapers as well? I hope your not bringing those in since your app is hinting at it.

Ok, yet another update to the biology of a Shollog. Their blood is made of hemolymph (same as insects, yellow-greenish).

Also, I'm thinking about making a parasitic louse species on the Shollog homeworld. It attaches to the nervous of an organism and can give it some unusual properties. In some cases, Shollogians can gain some telepathic abilities, although it's rare.
A cactolith is a quasihorizontal chonolith composed of anastomosing ductoliths whose distal ends curl like a harpolith, thin like a sphenolith, or bulge discordantly like an akmolith or ethmolith.

So what? Are they a partial hive-mind then?

It takes some seriously laziness to not even come up with your own idea when coping anothers work, I read over your app and It is the exact copy of the collectors, which is the first problem. Alot of people especially those who take time to craft well developed nations find that others who copied their nation from other sources to be extremely tedious to deal with. it would make it unlikely anyone would RP with you given the immediate turn off RPing with a copy and paste nation, would have for most people.

Let me explain that turn off effect your nation would have. Not only did you not put any creative effort into your nation which indicates when the time comes there is a much higher change you will stick with the facts ME gives about the Collectors rather than the Code of Bro. your nation shows that you do not even care enough about this RP group or the history it is trying to create to make something unique. These things would make it unlikely that people will take the time to RP with your or your copy pasta nation, since its not hard to guess where it would lead. From looking around those nation that are exact copies of another are usually the most prone to god modding because when it comes to battles they will adamantly stick with [insert franchise here] wiki says X can shoot through anything or something of the like and RP it as though it does. Im not saying you do this but those who copy other nations are most likely to do this which is always a risk vs just making up your own nation.

I highly recommend making your own nation.

Yes they are partial hive minded.

Well, to be honest, hive minds aren't usually very fun to rp with. This comes from personal experience, and from seeing many other nations struggle with hive minds. It doesn't give you any character development to work with, or plot development for that matter. You're forced to do rts style rps, where it's simply "move x number of warriors here, they are killed, reinforcements are sent."

I could take out hive mind, if you wan't but something I would like t keep in is the leader able to assume control of other collectors.

Well if you have problems with someone who has atleast gone through some effort to make a unique civilization in FAR III AoS then maybe joining isnt the best idea because I'm willing to bet he is going to get in and you two together might not be a good idea.

Everyone lost interest because you kept adding on stupid stuff to stop your annihilation so you looked like a good guy.
