Racial Specialization

[Suicide Junkie]

Just copy all the components in the file, and change the copies to require your new racial tech (level 1) and to require less maintenance / more range / more strength etc.

On a related topic, you could do something similar with Crystal tech races having double-strength components at extra mineral cost, organic tech races with components that cost all organics, low minerals. Something similar for radioactives (energy beings like the Eee?)
