Best Special Ability for race based on SHODAN of System Shock?

Almost done...

I've got a custom race nearly complete - with both audio and a little animation... and the last thing I can't decide is what their Super Ability should be. I've narrowed it down to:

* Super Isolationist
* Super Hive
* Super Adapter

(or guess a different one than listed if you have a good reason). Thanks for the advice!

Super Manipulator, of course.

I think the reason is relatively obvious, given SS2.

Hehe. Strangely I never gave that a second thought. She's a Super Adapter right now (since I thought she was good at adapting humans to cybernetic parts) - but Manipulator is also great. I should pit those two version against each other and see who wins   but I guess in a low pop game the manipulator ability doesn't do much good.

It's such a joy to see other insects panting and sweating as they run through my corridors.
How can they challenge a perfect, immortal machine?


...may Looking Glass Studios and Irrational be forever blessed for System Shock 1 and 2, and let BioShock be a worthy successor to its glorious ancestry.

Super Adapter.

I was thinking about PMing you as soon as I first saw your picture, my enthusiasm for System Shock 1 has no limits. Too bad it's even lesser known than SS2, as the latter at least seems to have gained a cult following (and very rightly so, I might add). So I'm looking forward to the race, although I prefer the Abe Ghiran feeling to the Delacroix feeling. (Hope that at least you will understand this latter sentence )
