Pretty much what Brett said. I've got to say that I'm very impressed how derailed this thread has become.
P.S. Oblivion, I'd highly recommend asking all highest ranked and/or best players what race is generally considered to be the strongest. As far as I'm aware, it's almost unanimous consent that human is the strongest single player race whereas nebula has the highest utility and brings the most total value to the team. Yes, vagabond and vagalion along with others mentioned do bring very strong presence and high team destruction potential, but they are countered much easier than the aforementioned races (I.E. nebula/human).
P.P.S. If you know how to counter all of those races so well and if you're such an expert, if you don't mind, explain how you are with 0.77 kdr? Granted, that is a very subjective and skewed ratio and can be deceptive quite a bit (especially on the high end of the table) that still is an extremely low ratio. There are big differences between players who don't know how to use the race and people who actually know how to play it. I'll use a nebula, human and vagabond as an example:
Even the very worst players normally still end up positive on maxed human - and that's not due to their skill, but only due to the race.
People who are bad at nebula tend to do much worse as there's a slightly higher skill cap, but it's still really easy to and most people will end positive with a nebula even if they are not good.
People who can't control vagabond due their skill limit or experience a lot of times even have a negative kdr. Yes, best players do have immense control over the map as they can scout and pick off targets, but overall they will not be the main driving power barring few specific maps (I do agree that maps such as de_port, de_compound and few others are very, very skewed towards vagas).
