Bigger differences in Serc/Itan/UIT capabilities.
I know this would probably take time and effort, and has probably already been on the suggesting board already, but I'd like to put it out there for Eventual Consideration®.
Other than a few ships tweaks, I really don't see any substantial in-game technological distinction in the three races. There are major differences in the back-story that, IMO, should be very evident during game play. The cyber-enhanced Sercos, the psycho-spiritual prowess of the Itani and the intellectual/technological advances of the UIT and its corporate structures should give very marked differences in the way each race conduct themselves in the various facets of game play (i.e. warfare, navigation, trade, etc) and the options available to them.
I don’t want to make this a wish list, but would rather promote the concept of a wider divergence the three races’ capabilities, and that these differences should enhance, rather than depend on, the RP factor of the game.

like a couple trade goods that the nation did not produce but 1 did
FM: even though I was vague (on purpose), I didn't mean to imply a use of 'the force'. I intended a wider, visible separation in the three branches of the VO technology tree used by each race.
[edit] for instance: exclusively give Serco ships higher G-force threasholds, Itani's better sheilding or jump capabilies, UIT smarter weapons, etc. Please, though, this is just an example, not what I think or want.

What would be really helpful and interesting is, after scanning through the link above and verifying that you are not reinventing the wheel, you DID post what you think or want. This _is_ the Suggestions forum. A wish list is great. Some will add to it, and others will pick it apart. Overall, it's a good thing.

I have always wanted to see something along those lines.
