Hi!

About research:
I was thinking, can a race with every tech +75 survive in the long run? It gives a lot of points to spend elsewhere...

... but you'll not be able to trade tech with your neighbours, because you'll not have any to offer. When I design a race I always ask myself "What will it trade?", because IMO trade is essential for surviving in Stars!. One who's not trading is useless for his neighbour(s), so he may easily become the first to be attacked.
FYI in the last game I played a HP IS with weap cheap rest expensive. After buying initial pop-moving tech I just put research almost exclusively ('ve researched some levels of prop because no one was selling it) into weapons until level 26 and announced I'm selling weapons tech. The effect was double: despite being a slow HP I was protected by simple fact I had the best weapons in known universe Twisted Evil

; and after some 60 turns of tech trading my race was the first in the universe to field an AMP Nubian with CPS and TS-20 engine Shocked

. My trading partners had 2 or 3 needed techs, the rest of races one or two. If I'd have known what that advantage means, the game would have ended much sooner Sad

.
BR, Iztok
