I'll take the note of swapping out a basic science planet for an advanced science planet.
Regarding ship templates, I'm a bit cautious about making such modifications (especially the hulls, as that seems particularly powerful early game). Most races in the game only have the basic ship templates, and I didn't feel like the Bulrathi warranted much more than that.
I also think the transport ships are a little stronger than neutron bombs some of the time. It makes them good at fighting against another race that takes neutron absorber, and the extra colony ships refreshed should make taking ancient sectors a little more valuable early game.
That said, I'm not solidified on anything yet. I think if they need to be a little stronger I'd be more inclined to start them with a cruiser than an interceptor rather than giving them better ship templates. I'm also slightly considering changing their starting resources around so they can more easily afford improved hulls (with a trade) than they can right now, (3 money, 3 science, 3 materials).

I hadn't considered that they would be the one race that could still easily take out people with neutron absorbers. That's nice. Very situational, but nice.
I like the other changes.
