At the INITIAL stages of the game the benefits from organic tech outway the disadvantages.

The Organic Armor alone will allow me to withstand more punishment than a regular race can, it starts off with 100kt of damage plus it regenerates.
AT level 1-2 i will admit that the DUC does more damage than the organic weapons but the range advantage goes to the Organic Weapons. What good is doing more damage if you cannot get into firing range. again i am talking EARLY stages of game.
Parasite Vs. Cap Ship Missile. again at level 1-2 advantage goes to the Organic. the range is the same and so is the damage, however the reload time goes to the Parasite. once Point Defense Weapons are researched the missiles almost become a useless weapon except in massive swarms.

this is based on ship sizes of Escort, Frigate and Destroyer as those are the EARLY game ships.

i agree that the research cost is expensive but i think it is worth it. In order of preference i am trying to get the Organic Armor, Seeker, Electric Discharge (for the range advantage) then plasma bolt.

edit. corrected statement about range and damage btwn Parasite and Cap Ship Missile and added reload time.
