Warning OT.
Well. It doesn't look like certain racial traits can be useful at all. For example, religious. What is religious good for other than talisman. What is temporal good for except for temporal space yards? The only racial traits I'd consider taking is psychic for allegiance subverter, or organic for organic armors. The 50k research setback might not be too much, if you start with 100k resources and a good starting planet. Maybe on first turn, 50k for chemistry, 50k for your racial tech, and 20k for your hull size, and viola, you have your organic armors.
I'm assuming most people play with 100k starting resources and good starting planet value. Bad planet value and low starting resources seems to just unnecessarily delay the game... 100k starting resources seems to let people open up a couple theoretical areas early, and good planet value lets you research some useful tech early other than DUC... gives more options/strategy rather than forcing everybody to go for the 5k DUC's early on. (Maybe spending 100k on weapons platforms and going "land rush"? lol. 50k for early pd's? 50k for early fighters?)
