I think we think alike Wardad

Bah! For ultimate power, choose ALL the racial techs, not just two!

[DirectorTsaarx]

I think this poll proves the point being made in the game balance thread - Crystalline is woefully underpowered in comparison to the other racial techs, and Temporal (my personal favorite, BTW) is marginal.

I beg to differ there.

Ha Ha

Actually the crystaline have that lovely 30% maintence reduction. Which is quite important.

And you cannot underestimate the temporal space yards.

the question did ask for fav. or powerful

Temporal is slowly becoming my fav. Racial Tech.
I like to play long games...so it comes into play.
There are too many factors in determining what is the most Powerful Racial Tech. And lenght of game is a factor

[TerranC]

Organic tech is my least favorite in that... so I am surprised that it is one of the more Favorites.

Crystaline tech is more powerful than it seems.

Reduced costs for ships
Strong Armor
faster firing sub for Wave motion guns

Although I really don't see what 60 points of shields can do for you or why you would fill up a planet with solar generators when a huge breathable planet with rich minerals and Monolith facilities can create MUCH more.

Temporal tech is too bit powerful in my view.

Fast construction with minimal population
Faster sub for the Null space Cannon (!)
Quad damage for shields
30% attack bonus
System Happiness

The Tachyon cannon saves space but lacks that oomph in Temporal.

The other ones are wee bit outclassed.

Religion:
Never Miss
Shrines

Psychic:
System wide training

Organic
Population Increase
Medical lab (A medical ship is much cheaper and mobile)
Not much powerful weapons till EAG
Souped up Ablative armor
