As someone who played Endless Space 1 extensively, I was excited to jump into making my own custom faction in ES2 (what kind of Horatio player would I be if I didn't strive for perfection, after all?). However, I've noticed something odd about custom factions - many of their traits (like their collection bonuses) don't adopt their population's icon, but instead retain the icon of their original race.

My question is: does this mean that custom races can't get all the benefits of a pre-designed race, or is this simply a UI bug?
