Correct. Malfaodr would have to add new items to the Settings.txt file that would allow us to modify the defaults. He does that now for things like maximum number of ships and units in the game. I think they are 500 and 2000 by default, but you can change that to as high as 20,000. You can change this in the game setup yourself, but it's a hassle cause it takes a lot of clicking. The settings.txt allows you to change it once and have the change reflected in all your games from that point on. You can lower it for specific games if you want. This is exactly the kind of control you want for racial points I think. It could potentially be done for just about every game setting that we have to click on when starting a game. They all have default settings.
