Hi guys,

I thought it would be fun to propose some race techs, how about in the format

Race : X

Type : Military / Economic / Research / etc

Time : Early Game / Mid Game / Late Game

Race : Mrrshan

Type : Military

Time : Early Game

Tech : Gemini Destroyer

The Gemini Destroyer is a Mrrshan only ship that can separate into two Frigate class vessels during combat. By being able to share an FTL drive, this Mrrshan fighter ship can pack more space for what is important, guns!

If one half survives in battle then the ship survives combat, giving this special destroyer increased longevity against ships of the same class.

Race : Human

Type : Economic

Time : Mid Game

Tech : Deep Space Trading Post

Empire Unique

Unlocks an ability to the human space factory to build a Deep Space Trading Post. Deep Space Trading Posts can be built in any unclaimed system at one of the warp points. The Space Factory is consumed in the process. The Deep Space Trading Post generates goods freighters every couple of turns, move one of these to an alien world and click trade, to receive a BC boost and + disposition boost with that species.

Ships can dock with the Deep Space Trading Post when on its square, by choosing dock. Docked ships can repair even if not human and generate positive disposition when being repaired between the alien species and human. Small % chance spies steal tech from vessel being repaired!

All bonuses do not apply to species you are at war with. Has defences equivalent to a Star Fortress but unlocked at an earlier level.

I am not really a fan of specialized research among races, because If one race can do it then Why can't the other ones, you know?

So instead of that, Why not use something like the Orion Guardian.

Make Pirate bases stronger, with spacestations and a large fleet, which would be constantly increasing in size and strength.

And after you defeat them, You have a chance of uncovering some neat unique tech from maybe an Orion/Antaran artifact

Also make space monsters stronger and make them wander, They would also periodically spawn on uninhabited planets, and They would wreck everything that they come across.

They could also reward you with a unique tech sometimes..

And bamm.

You get the tech cuz you get the artifact, and other people could steal it from you via spies.

Everyone wins.

Except the Pirates and Space Monsters.
