I think instaforming should be removed then
Maybe bonus to terraforming, like IS defence discount should be better?
CA has unique, "bio" theme that should be keeped.
Insta terra is very broken. No race should have such advantage.

More bio oriented gadgets seem to be good idea. More organic armours, maybe some weird organic weapon?

I've been thinking about some gadgets that affect life conditions. CA must be by definition a biotechnology-oriented race. How would you terraform a planet after all? By spreading some microscopic life form, such as bacteria, that alters chemical structure of atmosphere, making it suitable to breathe, that penetrate outer layers of soil in order to absorb heat from volcanoes, absorb or emit alpha-particles, etc.

Such race would be an expert in altering life conditions of their species, such as:

* being able to prolong life (this basically is increasing pop growth rate in long term)
* hibernation (can be implemented as escape pods for destroyed freighters)
* advanced autonomous ecosystems (being able to generate resources without colonists)

I find particularly inspiring a Wikipedia article about emerging technologies:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emerging_technologies

though biotechnology section is mainly focused on advanced medicine and life extension.

Perhaps watching some Sci Fi movies might help me get some inspiration... Can someone recommend something?
