I haven't played with all forces, and I am, relative to many of you, new to the game, so my oppinions will be very flawed on this matter, and I welcome hearing criticisms of what I say here. I believe the FOnewm class is the best force in the game, for fairly simple reasons. First, he has the highest base defense of all of the forces, so he's slightly trickier to take down. He won't die quite as quick. Second, the bonuses to the nuking techs... most would probably believe this isn't something that's largely effective, but the nuking techs make life so much simpler for me. Being able to clean out entire rooms in three spells is something really awesome here, and other FO classes could do the same, but the extra damage on nuking spells is a huge advantage, at least for me. He isn't the absolute best support force, but really, he won't be a bad one either, since he can learn high levels of shifta and deband just like any other class. With the second highest MST rating in the game, these spells are quite a boost, and are still usefull even without the double range effect. In terms of HP, they're also only about 50 away from a FOmarl, and combined with their decent defence rating, they probably can last longest of the forces. Most would also say that FOnewearl is a much better choice, if you're going for raw tech power, and this is so, but the FOnewearl also has very low defence and HP, and it's easier to die with her. The FOnewearl also can never learn to melee at all, and the FOnewm can. So... there are probably many flaws in this idea, but I mostly posted it hoping for it to be torn to shreds.
