TA Suggestion: Talent points

I'm sure everyone has heard the news about the latest expansion.

Read link="https://forums.galciv2.com/?aid=160823&p=1#1289009"]here[/link] if you have not.

Anyhow, with all the talk about unique racial techs, I figured, why not use a similiar system that is being used for abilities? As most of you are aware, different races start with different inherent abilities, each of which can be further enhanced by spending ability points on them, or, if you so choose, you may buy new ones.

With a talent point buy system, the standard races would start with their default talents. By giving them some points to buy additional talents, one may further optimize their current race.

This would do two things:
1. It would provide a means for a player to customize a race to their play style.
2. It would serve as a means to allow custom races to get special techs and stuff. That would in turn be a relief to those players who are concerned about their favorite custom races.

Anyhow, I hope that my suggestion would prove to be useful.

Kryo, could you make sure that frogboy, or Cari_Elf sees this?

Alright. I'll be first to give suggestions for talents, if for no other reason than to bump this post.

1. Improved starbase defenses
This will unlock techs that will provide modules that will further boost starbase defenses, hopefully to the point where they could be expected to survive a siege or two in the long run.

2. Ship recyclers
Whenever you de-commision a ship or starbase, you get more money for doing so.

3. Everybody's friend
You are less likely to have another race to declare war on you for any reason.

4. Lucky Diplomat
Other races are more likely to come to you with good offers in the diplomacy screen.
