There is simply no such sink for radioactives earlier on.

I truly agree here... This is a definite advantage for the Organics and it only enforces that the true nature of the Organic race is to resupply Organics to it Colonies far away and to maintain a rapid growth; that far excels any other race in the Galaxy.

Do you really feel it is to great of an advantage for the Organic Races and what would you recommend to counter this; other then restructuring the base concept of Star Liner costs.

I think the storage of Crystall and Temporal cultural centters should be increased. It is VERY difficult to utilize all those extra radioactives in early game, before inventing advanced cryst/temp weapons.

Agreed, in a Finite game this is a fine opportunity to build those old fashioned Storage facilities early, they are cheap and very quick to build even with the youngest of Colonies.

However in a standard game the surplus, is just superfluities and not to worry.

Additionally in all games this Surplus of any one or more resource will really come in handy for exchange at your Trade Center or with other Empires if so lucky to have a friendly trade partner; for resources needed (early food for example, for those extra Star Liners and Colonizers)
