Nanotech - yah. By "like organic but weaker" do you mean that there will autorepair? I'm guessing that it won't directly mirror the organic tech tree. I'd also guess that it would use a lot of radioactives (energy for processing) vs. using a lot of organics. The nanotech tree could definitely affect the society as well - enter the "arms-or-butter" thing. Maybe make miniaturization/nanotech a requirement for the advanced resource gathering (it's described as small robots gathering resources more efficiently after all!).

Perhaps miniaturization could be a precursor technology to nanotech and allow the small weapons for fighters, sort of stretch out the tree a little. Perhaps put a little automation branch in there also (droids, automated factories, more efficient astroid miners, automated repair a la organics but weaker, etc.) Again, I'd really like to see the non-military applications in balance with the military applications... gives the players more options.

Just my .02 $Cdn (.016 USD)

Edit - I can't spell
