Here's a thought on the race balance issue. Make NPC racism a major factor. Like, Faunus player characters get less money in mission rewards, or are not allowed to access certain shops, but still get various bonuses unique to them - like maybe an evasion and accuracy bonus in low-light situations (or less of a detriment).

I'm thinking players who invest time in engineering (or a similar skill, like smithing or something) should be able to unlock specialty weapons that would be very (very very) expensive for other players to get hold of, like the VCBS, or similarly complex weapons.
