heh. true, true!

I wonder how many competing specialist empire designs would be competitive. I'd guess: Research, Defense, and Maintenance (or would Minerals be better?)

And would it be a good idea to boost the culture-type bonuses, so you could specialize in one area and have a decent bonus to another (or really, really specialize in one area).
