Your're right they aren't really showstoppers, more ideas for role playing really. The faciliies are very cool, however, you just don't notice right away. Two examples:

Crystaline Restructuring: You build it, you save money on maintenance -- you don't notice the benefit at first, you just keep building ships -- and don't run out of money. Then you count your ships - Woah!

Gestation Vats: Again, you don't notice at first, then -- hey, who filled up all those planets?
