Am I the only person who thinks the Emotionless racial trait is a bit pricey?

geoschmo:

What I'm about to say might be provocative and controversial - but what the heck, you only live once!

THIS IS JUST MY OPPINION:

SIMPLE:

BORG -> EMOTIONLESS = okay
VULCAN -> EMOTIONLESS = I don't think so...

COMPLEX:

The borg has no emotions - I can buy that.

But the Vulcans are suffering from emotional denial. Captain Kirk has time after time proved that Vulcans DO have emotions, but in a very repressed state.

"Live long and prosper" - with sadness in his eyes, and love in his voice. But it was not MENTAL love or LOGICAL sadness, they were feelings - emotions.

The vulcan emotional repressed states DO affect their community (empire) in a great deal. The vulcans are just TOO intelligent and have realized that they don't need their emotions - and they often forget about them. Maybe their biological evolution some day removes all emotions - but they do have emotions of a small degree.

These repressed emotions are often of a NEGATIVE thematic value, or "kirk was right".
But the "EMOTIONLESS" trait is not of a negative thematic value - not when it costs 3000 points.
