Favorite Racial Tech Trait

[Grandpa Kim]

Hey, Fyron! I counldn't vote cuz my favorite is "none".

I just drool over those extra 1500 points that the racial types swallow up. Also I have fewer things to research and am ready for bear much earlier in the game.

You can be ready for bear as early as a normal race. Just wait to research the racial techs.

None isn't a racial tech trait.

racial traits are fun because they take those 1500 points from you and make each game more interesting as they requie specific strategies, designs and counter designs and strategies. Its a good payoff - early game vulnurability (unless you leave the weapons for "later". mostly this goes to organic/crystallurgy as their weapons only good at levels 5-10) for later superiority (tell me whatever you want, having a racial trait, any racial trait, gives you wider variety of tactics and techniques)

I tend to be a big fan of the Temporal trait (though I haven't used it since the Last patch). I prefer using human type races and temporal is the one trait that seems to be based more on advanced tech instead of alien physiology.

As for combos I gravitate towards Temporal/Religious. Why? Fewer tech overlaps. I can use it all without leaving anything out (I hate to research two different racial weapons techs and only wind up using one, it seems like such a waste).

A close second on Favorites has to be Psychic. I love those telekinetic projectors. Although I have never really used the AS much as of yet.

If I get traits at all (very rare indeed)

Psychic: Steal all those ships and get great fighter weap.

Psychic+Religion: Never miss steal ships...
Though I never take Reli alone as my favorite weap is the ripper.
