I don't understand this last point. The Syndicate doesn't get any extra energy. I suppose you mean other races can't get the same chances of success with this combination of upgrades, since they don't have the external Gauss Shield, right?
Klaus: shortly speaking, yes.
Orion also has gauss shields as an initial technology and also has one external element of their ships. However, their external sources are not sufficient to power a plasma cannon and a drive. Three sentient hulls, one gauss shield and one plasma cannon cannot be placed together on their cruisers. The same is with other races. To be strict, there is one more option for that: an Orion cruiser with an additional muon source, but I think we agree that playing Orion, getting the sentient hull and finding the muon source is rather rare situation...
