I agree completely. Make each race have set stats and abilities (Krogan rage, Asari Biotics, Salarian Tech, etc.) I think that the 1st Dragon Age did this pretty well. Just build upon it a bit and start whatever race you choose on their home world would make things fresh through each playthrough. Creating your own ship and installing different equipment based on your style of play would be awesome. Obviously with ship purchases, there should be sweet space battles.
