it's cool that you can unlock different races and explore all the possiblilities of each one INDIVIDUALLY

but what if it was possible to switch between races with the use of a base module ? said module would keep track of the racial missions you have completed...... when you complete all of that particular race's missions (ok, maybe add some more) , you get to use that race's racial ability at a reduced level NO MATTER WHICH RACE YOU CURRENTLY ARE !

for example, say you have unlocked the mylarai race, and you switch over to that particular race..... new missions would be available, spec'd to the mylarai race, maybe only achievements.....say you need to enrich 50 planets, or raise the mining production of 25 planets up to megarich X 15, whatever...each race would have it's own achievement list/mission list to unlock the ability to use the racial ability no matter which race you are......for our example, after you lock down the mylarai ability, then switch to, say , vygoid, you could enrich a planet once a week

i think this would draw more ppl into switching their race more often , and also fit the needs of higher level players by giving them something to do

any thoughts ? and remember , the above example is just a rough idea of what this COULD be

It's a nice thought but racial switches aren't meant to be common. They're supposed to be like a terraformer; a pain to get but an excellent reward. And this has also been suggested already, I think.
If you really want to know what each race/profession does, there's a wiki.

thanx, i know already

back to my original idea, i think switching between races is cool, you never really know how good it is until you have played it, and if you spend some time as a certain race, some traits should carry over into the new race.....it still YOU and YOUR experiences, unless when you switch races , it's a totally new being...which means it has to start at level 1, with no experiences
if you switch races and stay the same rank , it is the same "being", transfigured into the new race and still has all of the same abilities and experiences it had before, and hence, certain game racial abilities should be carried over....
if your past occupation was a hacker, then you would have a better idea of how to hack another ship, even if you are now, say an explorer, due to your experiences as a hacker
