Racial Traits, Discussion on Pro's/Con's.

[Deathstalker]

Just wondering on everyones opinion of the Racial Traits included in the game. (Non-modded). Which is your favorite?? Which do you hate?? Wich in your opinion is too powerful? Too underpowered??/Overcosted for effect?

Examples:

My favorite: Crystalline tech, even though I think it is WAY to underpowered, the Crystalline Torp needs more power, as do the Shard Cannons (at least they finally reduced the rate of fire!).

And Advanced Storage, nice bonus to pop/research/buildings all for a nice small cost!

One I hate:

Organic, too overused/overpowerful, has the best seeker (parasite), the best armor (organic) and the best long range weapon next to the hard to get to Wave Motion Gun (Acid Glob) as well as way too cheap ships (easy to produce in less turns).

Way too overcosted:

Emotionless, quite a useful trait but the cost is way too much, should be about 2000 or 1500 cost IMO. I've been in many games when I wish I had it when all my planets are rioting in a system due to a large fleet appearing out of nowhere.

Most useless:

The 25% reduction in supplies one for ships, don't find that one very useful at all. (That and Temporal Tech/Religious tech. don't find very useful until later in the game, ie just use Religious Talisman and the Temporal Spaceyard, only really good things about them.)
