thx sjlunchbox, that was the options i was meaning, a balanced option that, like all yours stated, gives some of a bonus, but also makes it harder to win, because you don't have, or have a negitive bonus in some areas.
ill reiterate on my original preposal right now, and thx to sj, call it warmonger: your race LOVES weapons, the more damage the better, so your race taps into your drive core to get more ooph out of the guns; +10% to weapons, -!)% to speed for each weapon/engin racio. i.e., 5 guns at a total of +50%, 1 engin that has -50% t speed.
said bonus could have multiple levels as well (10%/-10% up to +50%/-50%
Bookish: your ppl love to reaserch, but on the flip side, they don't like inergalactic politics;+ to reaserch= - on influence
the list could be huge!!!!
