Re: What are the characteristics of your favorite race?
Another consideration is whether you're playing to be competitive, or roleplaying the race.
One of the reasons why I've never won a PBW game is that I tend to pick traits to match my concept of the race more than for in-game benefits. I'm often the only person in the game who has increased Physical Strength rather than decreased it, for one example. I usually don't bother to write down the exact values I put into Characteristics; I prefer to make a fresh empire to suit each new game's settings.
I've got at least two races that I've made up for solo games that I'd never put in a competitive game.
If I had to pick one race as my favorite, it would be my Mi-Go, whom I give increased Cunning and the Schemers culture. I obviously won't play them in a game with intel turned off.
