Topic: allow creativity
Not the 1st time i say it, players should be allowed to design a custom race with more race points to distribute.
For a galaxy like SN it would be very interesting to see diffrent races and different playing styles based on the custom race anyone want to design, and all of them made from the same starting points..
Then allow a face maker little program to design the picture of your race, with presets for body, head, arms, weapons and face details.
Then as the round advances set some goals (like the hidden missions in Risk) to gain race points. All the collected racepoints can be used when the round is over to modify your race by adding more attributes.
In summary u are missing the power of attraction for new players to create a character similar to rpg games and not just a profile.
