Now, as for your 5th race, the way you describe them sounds too much in the style of classical sci-fi and fantasy. Cyborgs and necromancers would not be impossible in the Ryzom setting, but they'd have to be adapted to Ryzom's unique flavour in order to not seem totally out of place.
Cyborgs, that is homin-machine interfaces, would happen through magic, like I could see a Zoraï controlling a mechanical amber arm through electrical magic, or through homin-plant interfaces, like how Matis technology is already all genetically engineered living plants, it seems a short step to attack a living plant to a homin's nervous system so they can control it.
So solar panels for example wouldn't look like Karavan solar panels or human solar panels, they'd look like huge rectangular leafs, or slabs of amber.
Necormancing would have to happen through some kind of Goo magic, making Goo-zombies :) The Goo-zombie-yubos could then be given mechanical parts as well because why not?
