In a really interesting RP game of SEIV, you could have races and players with widely-varied levels of technology. There race age could come with different bonuses and not unbalance the game, or at least not affect the imbalances, so to speak. I don't think I'd roleplay well enough for that situation. When other races disagree with me, I at least PLOT their annihilation if I cannot carry it out. (insert Dr Evil laugh here)
Of course, that wouldn't be the usual total annihilation scenario we all know and love.
