I guess it's not news that we can't apply template to species with unmodifiable traits anymore. The patch notes didn't mention this change or I might overlook it, nonetheless, I am against it. It will just make the species screen more clutter when it's already a mess, and you have to factor in the species tab lag that been there for centuries. It also makes biological ascension and psionic ascension more inferior compare to synthetic ascension, when synthetic ascension already is the strongest ascension of all. And this hits Life-Seeded and Shattered Ring to dust as this change cripples their early expansion.
I will further this topic by talking about the balancing, since there always is a focus on balancing like we are play some sort rts game. Then why synthetic ascension never been looked upon on? Why it's always more efficient go for tech rush and conquer than peacefully build your empire? Whatever you change, players who want efficient will always find the meta builds and cheese them, so why not put your effort from balancing every single aspect of the game which is impossible into somewhere useful? Or more precisely speaking, buff the weak to make them more appealing or interesting, but stop nerf those alright one. e.g. I don't see Functional Architecture needs a rework at the first place and who uses Inward Perfection anymore?
