when I first got the game I really did not like the game races beyond being functional and interesting enough to serve the game.

The three races in sins have grown on me to an extent that I am having trouble imagining any mod races trumping them in terms of fighting styles. Most modded races will have very little ability to help each other in battle at all for instance. It makes you realise how limited most sci-fi shows have been until recently

Apart from enterprise (which started to show a little more race variation instead if implying it) and the new BSG (which has resurrection ships and hybrids etc) most sci-fi on TVs main storyline revolves around conventional warfare with other air breathing humanoids. The tactics are limited to single ships with no interesting abilities or differentiation. 

The vasari, Advent and TEC are such characters and even the ships which sometimes look out of place on a battlefield have grown on me. I have been trying to imagine them in their full CGI hollywood glory lately and even wondering if people will start making movies about the races once the single campaign fleshes out the story.

Anyone else been converted?
