I don't know if this has been discussed already, and I know it's a little late to post this... I just watched the first episode of starfish stream (elves) where they show off features of Utopia. One of them mentioned how other species CAN get psionic abilities like the main species can. Can anyone clarify what that means? Does that mean they will be given psychic ability randomly over time? Is there any way for us to prevent that from happening? (For any ascension for that matter)

I assume slave races will be denied bonuses of ascension. Same for those with mere Residency rights.

For the Cyborg/Synthetic ascension lines, you will be able to choose which species receive cybernetics. Species which receive cybernetics will recieve synthetic ascension.

I believe that the Psionic perks will only benefit your starting species. If you enslave or otherwise come into possession of another empire's species, and then they discover their latent psionics, your pops of their species may also become Psionic. That said, I believe Psionic only benefits leaders spawned from those species, so you should be fine if you set Leadership to disallowed.

If you don't want a species benefiting from your Biological ascension, you can simply not genetically modify them.

Psionic Ascension focus' on your primary species only, and only elevates them at first, but the Psionic trait can 'spread' to other species in your empire over time. there was no official mention as to whether slavery or citizenship status is considered for that.

Rare slave caste with psionic ability would be interesting.. Reminds me of Anakin Skywalker. If there isn't an option to prevent slaves from receiving psionic trait, purging them (out of fear) would be cool too. Thank you.
