Scary.
I dunno... till very recently I was high on Psychic tech. Lately, though, I've been questioning the value of ANY racial tech, particularly in small games. Sure, you eventually get some neat toys, but at what cost? Besides the upfront racial point cost, there's the high research cost to reckon with. And that's just to be able to research the neat toys.... It just seems to me that while I've throwing all these research points to develop my racial techs, the 'normal' races are developing gobs and gobs of standard techs that happen to be better than what I've got. Just my observations, really, and actually doesn't answer the original question, so I'll just hush up now....
