Your favourite leaders
Other than Xantus (sp?) and Necron, that is

Chugg is good to have in the beginning because he gives you free terrainforming. The revolutionary guy gives you advanced government. The legendary scientist gives you autolab and androids.

What about ship leaders? The legendary fighter pilot is alright but not so great. The legendary captain is much better.

Xantus is sweet, but I rarely see him.
Necron tele, fin+15, labor +15,Sci+15and Spirit, don't see much of this one either. Chugg is nice and Sparky is ADV.

I am happy to get any of the sci leaders and an officers with commando if not tele.
Altos/Caern are decent lower level officers. Dantos next step up. I also like the assasin leaders.
Sometimes I will dismiss early leaders when I get a better one and do not have enough systems to use them all. This allows me to hold out for the best leaders.
I just did Liv race so the farmer leader that shows up early is of no use.

i usually dont care much for usual leaders.. only the ones that give me free tech...the legendary scientist with its autolab and the Droid looking fella that gives me all droids.. cos these 2 support usually mu strategy.. otherwise the fella who only gives production boost is almost as good for me as Xantus.. dont do research and prod in same systems mostly anyways... in huge galaxies they have such a small effect anyways..

Pretty much nay leader that gives a science boost is preferred. Also tech advance leaders are good too. Good early leaders are ones with megawealth and/or -hiring costs. They get dismissed as the game progresses but can be good in the beginning. I also like the spy leaders, especially Draxx early; he doth kill enemy spies.

What I do not like about leaders it that seems like you always have to keep one spot open to attract the next good leader, so you are stuck with using 3 til the end of the game (for colonies).

I do not make much use of the ship leaders, am I missing something?

Yes. Especially if you are a trying to capture ships or SB. A leader that has Nav and Helm, you get a move bonus and can get there sooner.

You can go for a very long time without running into those guys.

Mystic X had 5 bonuses IIRC... It was cool

In the early game (especially if I play without the creative-ability) I'd like to have those leaders who come with techs... they can give terraforming, automated repair system, autolab, all androids, telepathy, and (IIRC) one gives you research labs...

There are also great ship leaders, (like the one who gives you galactic lore and dimensional portal)....

The Ancient Starfarer, whatever his name is.

Yeah, leaders with megawealth are good in the beginning.

What about the ones with instructions? They seem to be very good for the long haul.

Those that increase experience of fleets? Yep, they are very useful... I like the golden one (Rak-ihr or whattheheckitwas), he is instructor, industrialist and .... something else there was too...

I really, really like the Elerian qutie who comes with telepathic and spying bonus, as a well as a morale boost.

She eventually gives me more tech than even that Autolab guy. And she's cute!

Mentox give autolabs and research labs. Kronos and Loknar have galactic lore.
Kronos is the ancient spacefarer and brings knowledge of Dimensional Portal and has Nav and Helm skills.

Yeah. Although my favourite Elerian is the blonde shake-ya-head-and-wiggle-yer-panzer-brah scientist bimbo. I still laugh at the look of her.

You are not talking about a leader are you? You mean the pictorial representation for your scientist when you get a break through, if you are playing that race?

Oh, she may not be a proper hero, but she sure is my heroine...

And I like the Modesty Blaise-like spy girl in Space Spandex (tm).

They certainly made a huge mistake when they axed the Elerians for Moo3. Every game needs hots chicks.

If Moo2 is any indication, modability isn't on the list of their priorities

Black Razor - the Enforcer , Assassin/Spy Master/Farm/Labor/Fin now how good is that.

Draxx - the Spy Master, - Spy/Assassin the one that show up early.

I used to love to get Draxx, but I hope to get a colony improver type first. I want a leader with Sci/Food or Lab for teh first one. Now if Razor shows up I am going to do whatever I have to hire him.
