Re: Designing your own Race in New Game.... ???
Culture: depends on your style. Always at least pick one of the +5 cultures- free bonus, no disadvantage.
Characteristics: depends on your style. Swarm attacks? Increase maintaince and shipyard rate. Sabatoge them to death? Increase cunning. Damn the torpedos, CHARGE!, increase aggressiveness and defensiveness.
Racial traits: yet again, style. Organic lets you turn out more ships, faster, and has good seeker and armor.
Temporal has better shipyards and some 4x to shield weapons.
Religious has the Almighty Talisman, which makes your direct-fire weapons hit ALL the time. Litterally. It also has the Alligence Subverter, the borg in a box. Bring computer viruses. Also some decent facilities- the Shrines.
Crystalline has good armor and some armor-skipping weapons.
The other advanced traits- emotionless is IMO overpriced, even considering you can drop the happyness attribute to 50% with it. Enhanced Storage Techniques is very valuable, as is Propulsion Experts. The rest depend on your style.
Happyness- I haven't played Bloodthirsty, but don't play neutral unless you mean it. Neutral races are a PAIN to keep happy.
