Newbie Question on special tech (Organic, etc.)

[Droplede]

Dragonlord: You're absolutely right about the balance that Organic tech gives you -- very rounded. Organic weapons are generally considered to be the best (long range, low tonnage, fast reload), but it takes awhile to research up to the good stuff. IMO, the enveloping acid globule is hands-down the best long-range direct fire weapon in the game. And the small electric discharge is my favorite for fighters -- again for range and size considerations.

Having said all that, I should note that I'm addicted to temporal tech. Great weapons, powerful facilities, and low-cost sensors early in the game. If I play with any racial tech at all anymore, generally it's temporal.
