Poll: racial technologies

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.

Don't forget the BIGGEST factor- the economic edge. Your construction cost, build time, and maintenance will be reduced because a portion of your designs require organics (and less minerals).

Not really. Minerals are still largely required even with Organic Manipulation.

The standard planet facilities use mostly minerals in the standard game, so those costs are the same for all.

But, when you're building LC's with a couple shields, lots of organic armor, and organic weapons, the effect on build time is very distinct.
