I don't remember rogues being able to tank for damage... Damn rogues.

Anyway, you got the list all wrong.

TEC are merchants who would sell their own mothers for credits and have ship designs of "Durr, me big and hit you. Hurr Hurr Hurr."

Vasari are pansy cowards who run when they can't hear mommy anymore. Their ship designs rely on a woman's strategy of throwing things at you or disabling engines so they can run away better.

Advent are ascended gods. We shoot beams of pure, divine light that will either free your body from sin or purge you like the heretic you are.

ROFL! Not only biased, but sounds like he's not in a Valentine's Day mood at all.

Durikkan:

All ships of all races are more or less exactly the same at the beginning of the game. Well, except for Advent because while the other races get marines, we get zerglings. Advent can Zerg rush. +1 for Advent. And our zerglings suck your antimatter and give it to those who more righteously deserve it. As if we needed more cause to rejoice over our awesomeness.

But there are significant differences. Everyone heals differently, much like how a warrior drinks potions, paladin casts heal, etc. Sure, the Vasari, pansy cowards that they are, have this tiny radius hull regenerating ability on their carrier capital ship (since obviously ALL their ships are with their carrier, ready to jump out at even the slightest sign of pain). TEC have a hull regenerating ability on their support ship, but you need more than one and is a tad bit slower unless in huge masses, a clear sign of their philosophy of "Durr, me build more and it good yar."

The Advent, as a sign of our supreme intellect, have obvious avoid such stupid situations by focusing a huge, HUGE circle of shield regen around our mothership. We then amplify our aura defense with our Iconus guardians with 33% shield damage negation dispersal. Since the best way to avoid taking damage is to avoid taking damage in the first place, we, the supreme Advent, are the only race capable of zero losses in any combat situation outside of a noncowardly Vasari missile hack. (Ha! As if such a thing exists.)

I don't remember rogues being able to tank for damage... Damn rogues.

Dunroth:
Ahh, you should be honored to trade... words with a being of such grace as the Advent. I guess our mighty race could stoop for awhile to attempt to... unfuddle your tiny little minds for a second so you may see our utmost glory.

You see, dear little alien, you make the mistake of assuming that our superior race cares such minutiae as... scarring of the ships or anything even hampering the perfect duronium shine polish on our hulls. With our, how do you repugnant gutless wonders call it? "shields" yes. Our auras alone are sufficient to repel any of those silly little attacks that you attempt to throw at us. In fact, what do you call it? This brutish alien tongue is so tough to wrap around... "shield regen" is merely a misconception on your part. I believe you refer to our beautiful orgies which are conducted on a 24 sol-Earth hour basis in the Progenitor Mothership which, through sheer beauty and tenacity, enhance our ship-based defenses.

This is of course, vastly different from your poulty-hearted... crude... repairing systems. Ugh. Sparks and nuts and bolts. Disgusting little creatures. The very fact that you dedicate so much effort into "repair" and "self defense" clearly shows how much of a priority your entire race on being defeated.
