I think it would be great to add a new faction ability: the multi-specialist ability, that allow to research all the specialized technologies.
For example, a player can research only one of the following techs:
- Barren worlds mastery
- Frozen worlds mastery
- Aquatic worlds mastery
With the multi-specialist ability, the player will be allowed to research all these technologies.
I also think it would be a good idea to add options when clicking "survey" command to a ship: a list a of checkboxes to select the type of anomalies the ship will have to survey.
The player could check the following checkboxes:
- unguarded anomalies
- guarded anomalies
- precursors anomalies
If the ship will survey precursors anomalies and/or guarded anomalies, it will automatically engage the battle when exploring these anomalies.
