Well,
any combination of racial techs you could think of would be nasty. They are designed around a 'theme' with specific strengths and weaknesses. When you combine two of them you cover or balance the weaknesses of each with the strengths of the other. Temporal and crystalline is an excellent example. Temporal has
evil weapons, but no defense enhancements. Crystalline has good defenses but cruddy offensive weapons once shields become decent. I wonder if anyone has played with THREE racial techs? It's doable if you take almost no other bonuses. But you're likely to get stomped before you can do all the required research.
