Actually, organic ram ships are still pretty potent, particularly for the price. In one game, they were my most effective weapon against an enemy who had racial combat superiority over my ships. Not that it makes any sense that it would be easier to ram an enemy ship with a battleship, than it would be to shoot them at range 1...

I voted for none, just because I was assuming a 2000 point game, and I like advanced storage and hardy industrialists as a combo. Given more points, I like both organic and temporal.

Until now (30 votes) I find the contrast to the poll Last year quite remarkable: Not a single player chose psychic and religious with the claimed so overpowerful talisman did not attrack that many people either.

I wonder, could it be that there's been few total newbies joining forum since Last year? Once you've tried them all, and seen what they do, what's left to make them compelling?

When the Encyclopedia Malfadorica first started up the topic "Beating the Racials" was started up -- empty. It's been fleshed out for a while now, but maybe no one cares about the Racial Techs anymore.

Ohh.. so there's a 6 th one for P&N, ay? I gotta go try that right now.

I would still pick Psychic, because I love training my ships while guarding the warp points, and building the Psychic Scanner in allied territory to keep an eye of what they are up to.
