Just more info about OA regeneration:

OA start to accumulate regeneration points when it is first damaged. but the actual regeneration occurs only at the moment one (or more) OA pieces is destroyed. That means you will get no regeneration whatsoever if you have only one OA on your ship ! It MUST be two or more.

Which is a good reason to divide the armor into smaller chunks...
Say, 1/5th or 1/6th the size, hitpoints, cost and ability amount.

He was talking about ships with only a couple OAs, not 6-8. A lot of OA has nothing to do with the lack of regeneration ability with just one OA.

The poll has gotten a few more votes, and "no racial" seems to be leading the pack.

But ... only when it beats out all other traits combined can we definitively say that the racial techs have gotten dull, which is something I've felt of late.

I play organic because I like the sound of the seeker parasite. I play crystalline because I want a challenge vs. the AI. Temporal, religious, and psychic were fun ... once or twice ... but I saw what they did, and that was that.
