Default Re: Minor Racial Traits

"Option one can be done, actually. You can make all but the basic theoretical techs non-racial. Then, other races can analyze components and gain the techs to make them. This isn't tied to any racial trait though, and can be done by all empires."

heh. If you're sneaky about it you can tie it to racials. Make THREE racial techs. One is available to anyone, one is Organic (for example) and one is the Analysis tech.

Organic weapons require:
Organic 1-5 (captureable racial)
Organic Weapons 1-10 (organics racial)

So the Anaylsis guys can't get the real thing. Then you mod in this..

Analysis Weapon X requires:
Organic 1-5 (needs a captures ship)
Analysis Tech 1-10

Since the ordinary empires can't get Analysis tech, they can't build the copies. And since the Analysis people can't get Organic tech without capturing an Organic ship, the trait works.
