@Randeng: Don't you dare insult the Emperors Navy, sir! (^^,) just kidding

No I really like the Human ships, they look functional and actually like something a human would actually build, nothing fancy, nothing out of the ordinary. Just a means to destroy your enemy. And somehow I think the look a little like the battle barges and flying cathedrals of Warhammer 40K.

I am trying to play the game with each of the races but I just cant get into long games with any race apart from the Sophons! Their research bonus and movement speed are perfect for my playstyle. Not to mendtion the gorgeous ship designs!!!!

I have played with the other factions but I cant get into the game and end up starting again with the Sophons...

Do I have a Sophon addiction...? Am I the only one...? Is there a place that I can get help....?

I've only played as the sophons so far, My first game was on a medium map with 4 races, and the UE won an expansion victory by about the 200th turn. I went to war with Hissho and was destroying them, but it turned out that most of their resources were devoted to fighting off the invading UE. They took most of their star systems before I had a chance and totally blindsided me.

I was so sure I was gonna win too, I was first in research...but nothing else.

Even though I love being able to just hit a random button for the thrill of not knowing what I'll be starting with, when I have to pick a race to start with I always gravitate towards the sciency race. I played the University group in Alpha Centauri at least 10 times more than the other groups! And the same in MoO2.

I just like the idea of a peaceful race of scientists that are content to strive for understanding the universe but if roused can bring the death rays to bear and obliterate an enemy dreadnought with a cruiser and put in planetary defenses they could never hope to penetrate!

Oh yes. This.

And Sophon ships look like fish? Seriously? Am I the only one that noticed this similarity?

I think the Sophon ships look like the Sophon. o.O

They are a interesting race to play with, though i'm in love with the Hissho now : )

The squid a 100 times the squid!

Whenever I see the ships of the Sophons I think about fish, but strangely enough I like them very much.

They look calm, peaceful and technological advanced just as they should but when watched from the right angle and while unloading tons of beams the can look terrifying...

I think the artists did a great job on them... as with the terrans they might not look special or sophisticated but they look like they were built to be useful, just like something a human would build.

Sophons do rock and beam weapons just look so natural from their ships. I have to say though, I also like the UE aesthetic... I'm trying to think of any of the ships I don't like so far, they all "feel" right.

they remind me of amphibian grey's some of their ships have spheres that are windows but look all bug eyed i think the closest race to their research capability is the Horatio once they colonized a decent amount of systems. still the best looking ships out of the whole lot. UE cruiser looks like a anvil.
