My call on the Cyborgs, from reading the profile:
+1 Research
+1 Efficiency (or maybe +2)
-1 Morale
-1 Growth
IMPUNITY Planned
Agenda: Planned
Aversion: Eudaimonic
Starting Tech: Polymorphic Software
For those who don't know, IMPUNITY grants the faction the ability to use the corresponding SE choice without taking the penalties from it.
With the Planned impunity, the Cyborgs are a builder's dream. Unless you REALLY need a higher Planet or Economy, there's no reason to switch off of Planned, except that Morgan will hate you.
My SE choices would be Democ/Planned/Wealth for peacetime, Fundy/planned/Power for war. If my default guesses are correct, the Consciousness should be at
+1 Ec, +3 Eff, +2 Ind, +3 Grow, +1 Res, -3 Mor, -2 Supp
in Peacetime, and
+2 Mor, +2 Supp, +1 Grow, +2 Probe, -1 Ind, -1 Res at war

I don't know if this is gonna be stupid or what but if you read the profile for the Cyborgs they have Morale penalties or Support. So fighting really isn't their thing.
Tally Ho,

yeah, they do have a morale penalty, but they also have a growth penalty. I think the best bet with these guys is to head for Transcendence.

Judging from the name, what would the benefit of using the "Cybernetic" future society thing? They're ALREADY cybernetic, I think they'd almost HAVE to start with that SE choice to fit in with their theme.
