    Favorite SMAX Faction 2004

    Favorite SMAX Faction 2004
    I was looking through Poly's SMAC content since the new HoF was mentioned and I stumbled across a poll from 2001 asking which SMAX faction was your fav. Well I thought the results were kind of odd (only 11% for Drones and Angles, etc.) So I thought I'd run a 2004 perspective of the same question. After all, we have learned a few things in those three years....haven't we?
    To clarify, this is a poll of your favorite, not the first you played.

    edit:
    I don't care if you choose because of power, looks, fun, etc. The question is simply: "which is your favorite?"

    Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

    /me curls up into a fetal position and rocks himself back and forth due to severe mental trauma caused by lack of xenobanana option.
    Civ IV is digital crack. If you are a college student in the middle of the semester, don't touch it with a 10-foot pole. I'm serious.

        lol....well a sporelauncher is kind of a xenobanana. The problem is that I can imagine the mind worms having an empire....and that is just not funny. I needed something even more ineffectual....Sporelaunchers! What would sporelaunchers have to do in order to obtain a galactic empire....it boggles the mind

          I was primarily thinking of game play, but make it what you want.

            Game play wise then, voted Drones. +2 industry is lovely, as is the easy ICS under free market from the extra none drone.

            -2 research is scarecly a penalty except in the first 10 years, and can actually help you as you'll have more bases when you're researching your first few techs.

                Pirates rule!

                I was pleasantly surprised I was able to get the fastest transcendence victory with theses guys. I had higher research than the cybernetic freaks. I'm not sure how I did that exactly. Plus I'm a navy guy, I love ships.

                free drones I just couldn't get to work very well. I don't like the research hit. That's just not my style.

                  Pirates. I know it's not the strongest faction playable, but I consider it the most fun faction to play.

                              I voted the Pirates for fun play. For "best" play, probably the CC. I hear that the Drones are good, but I hate their look.
