Step 3: Lesser Traits (Player Race)

More Custom Race Steps        

More Stars! Dialogs

Custom Race wizard / View Race dialog

Specify/view the lesser traits for your race. You'll probably find several traits that won't affect your playing strategy. Each time you choose a trait that prevents you from developing something, you'll gain advantage points you'll be able to use elsewhere or, if you're in the hole, bring the balance closer to being above zero (you have to be above or at zero before you can click on Finish).

Select secondary traits that compliment the profile you chose in step 2:

Improved Fuel Efficiency

Total Terraforming

Advanced Remote Mining

Improved Starbases

Generalized Research

Ultimate Recycling

Mineral Alchemy

No Ramscoop Engines

Cheap Engines

Only Basic Remote Mining

No Advanced Scanners

Low Starting Population

Bleeding Edge Technology

Regenerating Shields

When you finish, use step 4 to specify your survival conditions and growth rate.
