The unbeatable combination is it out there?

Ok Good Ideas, but When you look over the choices for race characteristics you think something sounds real neat or it makes perfect sense to use. For instance pushing your research ablity way up is a really good thing. It is until you reach the end game and you have researched everything and you wish you had a little bit more on your race's ship ablity to attack.
Production is a key element and if your opponet can get ahead and increase his production capablity you are doomed.
As time and experience in games go on I find that I have fewer and fewer choices If I want to have a chance to win the game.
The Talisman coupled with good production is really hard to stop. Which means I need my race to be the same if I am to have an equal chance to win the game.
