In regards to the racial archetype and the borg//assimilation discussion that was occuring earlier, could it not be possible to have a 'virus' race archetype? A race that doesn't naturally have a Population Growth Rate, has very minimal technology//research capabilities, and starts with a tiny population. The race must assimilate additional technologies//colonists from other races. It does this by either dropping 'infected' onto the surface of the planet (which go about infecting the colonists inhabiting the aforementioned planet) or hitting it with specialist 'assimilate-bombs'. Defences decrease both the rate at which the infection takes hold AND the chance that the infection even begins (representing quarentine methods, etc). The 'virus' race can also take control of enemy vessels (there is a % chance that when an enemy vessel is destroyed by the 'virus' race, it instead is assimilated into the species but with heavy damage) as well unless they (the enemy race) develop a certain tech level in biotech//install a specialist piece of hardware in their ships//etc.

This idea isn't really balanced as it is, but it could be a good starting point?

BTW: For those who have played Homeworld: Cataclysm, I'm thinking something along the lines of the Beast.
