Religious Talisman - unbalancing or not?

1) Seeing a ship across the system does not mean (necesarrily) that you can scan it for it's makeup.

2) I could be Deeply Religious, but fear persecution (which, funny enough, is what would happen in a game against experienced players), so I keep quiet about it.

3) I could be Deeply Religious, and part of my religion is to not talk to outsiders. You wouldn't know if I was religious, xenophobic, crazy, or what.

Your reasoning just seemed a little steeped in role-playing, which is fine and all, but not something which should necessarily apply to SE4.

Roleplaying should most certainly apply to SE... this isn't chess here.

And anyways... this is why I suggested a field for every racial trait, so you can mod it however you would like...

Well, at least some of the racial traits aren't obvious. For example, "ancient race" or "lucky". It would be nice to be able to hide those traits.

It would be nice to have an option to turn off these sorts of details of other races in the game setup screen as well.
