FTL would you rather

[Epsilon Carinae]

what would you want:
a total overhaul involving a new alien race and ships to go with it, completely revamped ships and kooky new weapons (FTL Ultimate Edition (yes I have been away working on that))
or
a new ui where you command a fleet (sort of like Star Wars: Enpire of War: Forces of Corruption) and also can control scout/bomber/assault squadrons. each faction e.g. slug, zoltan, mantis etc. has unique ships that have unique abilities and crew.

Unless said new race has weapons that deal splash-damage, I'd go for the latter.
Because unlimited ships.

Would you rather:

Be a foolish meatsack slave at a Mantis hive

or

Be a Mantis living on a Rebel planet?

In one of them, you get to live and work for the masters but they might kill you at any time... in the other, you have to be in hiding and will probably die if found out.

Oh, wow. Live and most likely die in hiding or live and most likely die in abuse?
Probably 2, mostly because hiding sounds better than working in pain all day, even if it means an early death.

So, Would you rather.

Be a Major Federation Official

OR...

Be a Major Rebel Official?
Hey, now! Think about it. The Rebels are racist and crude, but chances are they'll win the war, and it's pretty much guaranteed that they'll execute the federation command they captured and didn't kill on sight. The federation is (Questionably and Arguably) striving for a more peaceful galaxy, but the chances are they'll lose. If the federation does somehow still stand strong, most of the major Rebel command will be imprisoned for life, if not executed.
So, in essence, you can either be the good guy and have the odds stacked against you or be a crude, racist murderer but have better odds to survive.

Hmm, I think I'll go with the Rebel official. I can always change my stance later depending on who wins. "I for one, support my Rebel overlords! Screw aliens!"
"Sir, the Federation has won!"
"All praise aliens!'

Of course that would put my loyalty into question so in the event of losing... there's always Space Argentina I can flee to, right?

Would you rather:

Write an awful FTL fanfic and get plenty of comments, popularity and reviews but you'll be dead inside

or

Write a good FTL fanfic where hardly anyone sees it but you know you've done something good?

B definitely b. I like the feeling of doing something good.
would you
be a mantis living in a engi colony (sort of like the mantis from the human colony whose parents are engineers)
or
Be a human in a crystal sector

basically the same IK

Ah! now this is difficult.
I would choose A because of how crystals treat humans. The problem is, most of the shiny little fiendish hiders don't know what humans are and think they are literally sacks of meat in colorful bags.
And being a mantis in an Engi sector isn't that bad. The Engi will not mess with you, that's for sure.
Would you rather...
Live and die civilian on the run because of the war's pirating surge

OR...

Live and die an evil, murderous pirate taking advantage of the war?
Be innocent and live and die in distress, or be guilty and live and die in power. Take your pick.

A. I like to keep my innocence

if it is during the war I die, then I would be a pirate. If I die after the war, I would be a civvie.

[Stormbringer]

ps
what would you rather?
be a rebel living in the federation after the war, hated by all
or
a slave in a mantis camp?
pps re-run of previous:
Engi in a mantis hive
or
Mantis in federation during federation-mantis war
