Okay, so here is my idea to turn this into a full blown RPS variant:

get rid of all the normal racial techs, and change the settings.txt to prohibit raising and lowering attributes. that way people have a fixed and definite number of points to buy special technologies with.

create a special device for each of these ideas.

1 - talisman: +500 to hit, -1000 to ECM
2 - dome of agnosticism: +1000 to ECM, -500 to hit
3 - black hole armor: 5000 emissive, 5000 sector damage, scaled mount makes it take up almost all ship space
4 - seeker of doom: high damage resistance, skips armor

we need a handfull of other ideas that compliment these, and balance each other out. in the end each item should cost 500 racial points, so depending on how many points the game is set up with, people get varying numbers of these things.
