I have been unable so far to get the game to change the gender on any of the factions I've played. I'm male, but I like to play the Spartans,who are led by a female, so I customize the names, change the gender to male, but the picture in the game is still female and everyone refers to me as sister. This is something they might want to fix in the next patch, unless I'm just not doing it right.
Also, another patch idea is to include the beginning option to turn off probe teams, for those of us who can't stand those things.

Probe teams are an important, even critical, part of the game. They add a whole new level of challenge. If you dont like them, make insane sacrifices to get to the Hunter-Seeker Algorthim first.

Actually, I made a cool discovery. The computer will stop sending probe teams at your cities where you have a probe team stationed (on hold). I really helped my probe team out by adding additional armor to it. Probe teams stopped coming and I never got the hunter seeker algorithm.

Does this happen regardless whether you are at war with the factions in question or not?
To me, the computer still sends probe teams
at me when I have defending probe teams in
my cities.
Which brings me to another point. If enemy probe teams are destroyed by the Hunter-Seeker Algorithm, I don't get a chance to prounce vendetta. I think it is the act of using probe teams, not the end results, that set off wars.
