Sure no trait is all powerful in a multiplayer game. My point was that all other things being equal having bezerker with maxed aggressiveness/defense is much better than the alternatives. Things are never equal ("no admiral in his right mind goes out picking a fair fight").

I think this is only true in either a 2 player game or a game that is likely to be short and agressive. In a longer game with more players then I wouldn't pick these stats. Even in a 2 player game I think 125/125 agressive defensive is a little pricey (i usually go 120/120)
I think the berzerker stat is also only really usfull early in the game. later when everyones ships are fully trained with sensors and ECM it has less of an impact. (ie my berzerker status is have little impact of our Last few battles )
