Race characteristics - what's hot... what's not

[Tomgs]

Advanced storage and propulsion expert seem better to me than most of the other racial traits. If you like having an offensive punch Organic is the way to go. Temporal and Psycic have some benifits. Religious is marginally useful (I use it a lot actually but its not as flashy as the others). I almost never use Crystalurgy so I can't comment much on it the armor with shield option seems to work well with it but the weapons aren't that great except against organic races.

I usually also knock down strength and cunning a bit and up my intelligence, reproduction, and maintaince. I usually take a few points off of trade, organic, and radiation production. Unless you play an organic race its real easy to produce enough organics with few facilities anyway.

Even with strength and cunning around 80 to 85 you can still sucessfully invade and use intell you just have to use a bit more troops or intell points.
