Re: Racial Tech Advantages
One thing I favor advanced storage techniques over the natural merchant advantage. For the same cost you get an extra space for every 5 slots. So all those tiny breathable or huge nonbreathable worlds get an extra space. Of course you have to take the time to build those spaceports but you will end up with many more extra spaces this way especially in those systems with a few huge worlds. You also get a bigger population so when you take a shipload of people off your home world you don't always get below the population cutoff for production bonuses.
The propulsion advantage is really big expecially in the early parts of the game if you do tactical combat. Most races cannot catch your ship and if you have longer range weapons they will be toast. Even if they outgun you you can outrun them sometimes to save your ship.
