I guess I was looking for more variety
in race specific tech. For example only Romulans can develope the cloaking device. I think what is currently availible is very limited.

Ah. That, of course is completely moddable. Check out the Trek mod and the B5 mod for good examples of having piles of Racial techs to choose from.
P&N adds a 6th major (1500 point) tech, and a handful of "minor" racial techs (150-700 points).

As for ship size it would be cool to have a coordinate system. But what I would really like are ship graphics that show more scale. I'd like a baseship to monsterous compaired to a frigate.

Shipset artists have tried that, but the small ships tend to become too small to see.
SE5 will have ships rendered on the fly from models, so a zoom feature is entirely possible.
Wider size differences between hulls sounds likely for SE5.

Related question: Anybody know why the "History" button shows nothing in Simultaneous PBW? Does it only record history for single-player AI games? Same question concerning the "Comparisons" button. Does that only work when "see all scores" is on?

I believe that is because PBW does not send the statistics file from the savegame.
If you run the game locally, the minimum you will see is the plot of your own empire's growth all alone on the chart.
