I've play tested them, and they seem to be balanced. They rule as builders and stink as conquerers. I'd appreciate comments.

Information. Every second it zips back and forth and back
and forth across cyberspace. Millions upon billions of
0s and 1s, just waiting for someone with the right tools...
to come and take a look.

Why are their bases based on computers on hacking computers if their about constructing things?

The SHARETECH 3 is a bit heavy I believe... (The Universal Trans give you sharetech 3 and it's way down the road). Aside from that it looks like a pretty balance and interesting faction...
But as I said with the SHARETECH 3 you don't really have to do anything drastic, just sit and wait for the others to hand you over their tech for free! Throw in that +3 research and you're sure to be ++++++AHEAD in tech no matter what you or the others do which is a bit unfair to me...
Just my 2 cents worth

Yeah, your going to be ahead in research, but did you see the extra drone for every 3 citizens. The UoP gets one for every 4 and many people have said that that alone cripples them. Plus, the Hackers get -3 Police, so until you get Thought Control, there's no way you can control them using police units. So, you can either divert energy to psych, which slows down your research rate, use doctors and such, which eliminates portions of your workforce, or build many anti-drone facilities and secret projects, which gives you less time to build other facilites and secret projects. Also, if you think they're too balanced, you can still use them as an AI faction, 'cause the AI is about as good with them as it is with Morgan.

Sorry, I meant too unbalanced, not too balanced
