Might be an interesting idea to make it harder to have first contact with a Fanatic Xenophobe. Make the research cost x10 or impossible to the point that you have to destroy a ship or installation and research the debris or something (capture an alien) before achieving first contact.

From the Fanatic Xenophobes perspective you could have to enable a policy to achieve first contact with other species which angers your population.

Would make a the first contact less rapid, require more thought and maybe add some role-play.

Could also give Xenophobes happiness when they have met another race but "haven't" made first contact as a wee bonus.

I like the idea of making Xenophobia (and Xenophilia IMHO) affect contact research speed, although I would refrain from making it impossible.
