[Cosmosdex] : Redux Error Train

I don't get to make an app this time but I'm curious about a couple of things regarding unseen species.

Firstly I'm assuming that Dali doesn't count as a stromatopoid apearance?

Secondly, about contractors and possibly races like them, does someone making a contractor need to use a seen race, like how it was with the hybrid app for Oooo's assistant, and would a contractor version of a unseen race be allowed in an app once we've seen them?

At this moment stromatopoids are counted as seen, but I will be making a stromatopoid in this game or the next to make up for it.

Also a contractor does not need to use an unseen species if they aren't seen. In fact I rather a seen species be used for a contractor because like the hybrid, if you don't use seen species it doesn't look like a hybrid, it looks like a new species.

Also hmmmmm I would take a contractor version of an unseen species (when the contractors are seen) on a case by case base, aka as me. I don't want too many contractors as they're suppose to be very rare.
