Does anyone have some interesting combinations of traits they like to start with? Non-optimal stuff, I mean. I remember my first game I tried playing as ugly pacifists. It's a little harder to be a pacifist when the first response anyone has to you is "Kill it with fire!" It's problems like these that make an alien want to glass a planet and enslave the remaining population, you know? Pacifism is easy when everyone's either dead or working in your salt mines.

Anyway, how about those traits?
I mean I personally take Industrious and Very Strong for +15% and +10% minerals, but there are plenty of good traits that you can also do some roleplay with, if that's what you're looking for.

There's a full list here , and there are plenty of combos you can take that tell whatever story you'd like.
