just send up a piece at a time until you have space elevators or matter compression/synthesizers
You can't discover fire when living undewater. Also you can't discover electronics. I can't imagine how water life could invent tech.
But if they did, does that mean their gadgets would be always water proof and pressure proof?

thats exactly the thing.... "pressure proof"... space ships have to be build to CONTAIN their pressure against the pressureless space, which would be exponentionally more difficult when it came to liquid, since liquid tends to deal in much more... "heavier" pressures
Just give us the damn fish.
Someone could have made the technology for the fish when faced with their own declining population. The fish could be partially able to stay on land. There could be some form of underwater forge that they used.
I mean you're reading way too far into this, I just want to see fishy.

They could have used underwater steam vents with a specifically pliable ore, I guess. Or simply developed biotech as a substitute for everything. Incidentally, I would love a biotech-only civ.
I don't want any more earthlings portraits.
Aquatic species, yes.
Sharks, fishes and so on: no.

maybe im just bias'd that i want to see actual machine cities/ships as a machine empire oh well
Humans swam in and utilised the sea before even the stone age. I think it's a pretty safe bet to say aquatic sci-fi aliens would've "swam" on land in their primitive state and then invented fire, metal working etc. Plus rule of cool.
I always felt Reptilian Massive 12 was more Icthyoid than Reptilian, what with its barbels. The eyes and teeth remind me a lot of Anglerfish as well.
We also have the Scyldari as a pre-set empire, who are like sea otters -- primarily aquatic although they have expanded onto land as well.

Whose to say an aquatic ship would contain water and not aquatic aliens in water suits?
I think Ichthyoid aliens would be a welcome addition to the game. I've also been thinking that adding Archosaurian/Dinosaurian like aliens would be a good idea as well.
I actually found at least a few of the reptilians quite humanoid in overall appearance. Especially Slender's 1 and 2, with Normal's 8. 9 and 10 coming close.
so... these creatures probably know what the surface of the water is, and if they eventually start writing, they could even start inventing stuff that only works outside of water, using special tools to manipulate from below. they could even make reverse diving bells and such.
if they actually are space dolphins, they don't even need to worry about breathing, just staying hydrated.
BESIDES, they could still use mechanical computing until they find a way to easily waterproof their electronics.
Master of orion 3 really gave us distinct races compared to stellaris. A shame that game was so flawed in so many areas.
Are you seriously complaining fish people couldn't enter the space age when we have plants and funghal colonies
For real, guys

Aquatic species could be anyone from the Liir (SOTS), fish people that use some kind of hydro suits like Abe from hell boy. Or the amphibious quarren and calamari from Star Wars.
