I wonder if this would work... it would be useful for the Masters Mod and the Star Trek Mod, plus a Megaman mod if anyone were to create one
Suppose you had a bunch of racial tech traits (such as the stock Organic Manipulation, etc.) I wonder if it would be possible to create an extra racial trait, the Assimilator trait, that could steal other empires' racial techs by means of using the Deconstruct & Analyze command. I imagine this might be possible by giving all the other racial techs a prerequisite of Assimilator tech... or would that just prevent anyone who's not an Assimilator from researching their own racial techs? Hmmm...
