I wondering for whatever reason which race do you dislike the most in X3AP? It can be for any reason.

I also don't really like the Paranid. I don't really know why, but I want to restart once I complete my goals and play a game where I have an open war against the Paranid.

I hate the Paranid. I felt it necessary to emphasize this point, hence the italics. Why you might ask?
Condescension: The entire species talks down to everyone, all the time. They are so convinced that they are the universes perfect example of life that they have a right to treat everyone else as 'inferior beings'
Religion: I'm not a big fan of religion at the best of times, and the Paranid religion is the primary cause of their superiority complex.
The Duke: For a species that claims to be holier-than-thou at every available opportunity, they seem to be backing the activities of the lowest form of life, the Pirates. Ever wondered why you can buy a Paranid Police License at Dukes HQ?
So yeah, I hate the Paranid. With the exception of Hurricane and Hornet missile fabs I don't buy anything from them (maybe a PSG forge if I've managed to cap one of their ships). They're always my first choice of targets for piracy, and when I go on a genocidal rampage I normally start in Unholy Descent and work my way north.

For me it's the Terrans... but the Argon are my favourite. The Terrans are a bit too aggressive about what they perceive as right and wrong (i.e. creating AGI) and Xenophobic. Also why can't they make their damn gates jumpable? That's just rude.
I'm not a massive fan of the Three-Eyes though, which, conversely, is why I like Dukes. They might be a bunch of pirates but I've always assumed that their existence as Pirates is because they don't agree with the Paranid establishment. Certainly I've seen the 'nids attacking Duke's ships, so I don't think they're very pally.
Of the commonwealth races my least favourite is the Split, mainly for the way they've historically stomped all over the Boron.

Paranid, In TC they were next to useless and thus an easy target, especially given the attitude.
In AP as a Terran I have my arm twisted into a more accommodating relationship with them for the sake of Commodity Logistics Software, (and the opportunity to attack Argon shipping in 'friendly' sectors).
Frankly the Argies really shot themselves in the foot starting this war.
It's forcing the Terrans to side with the Profit Guild and sow dissent between the Commonwealth races at the point when a Xenon Invasion is threatening the existence of the Commonwealth.

Somewhere out there is a Cobra Mk III with my name on it.
It isn't mine, some rando actually wrote my name across the side of his ship...

Whenever I start a game of X3 (TC or AP) I always choose a race to prey upon to cap their ships. The Paranid are arrogant jerks so its almost a no-brainer for me. A close second is the Split. And like one previous poster said, I too like to make all out war with one or both of these 2 races.

For me it's the squiddies (Boron). I just don't like fish. Can't trust something that will swim in its own pee, their ammonia heavy stations just smell, they act like they are helpless half the time and yet they have warred with about every race there is. If I see another sector with a ocean analogy in it I will scream!
Remember though, don't be speciesist, blow them all up equally. . . .
*P.S. The poll doesn't seem to be showing my vote for the Boron either? See the damn fish folk have hacked your site to stop them from being revealed! Hmmm make that reviled.

Yes it is true they tend to be a bit closed minded but heh!! its their fault everyone wants to kill them or cap them
and for me they do have some very nice ships.
the strange thing i've noticed is all the terran weaponry they are using.

Egotistical machines? How's that work?

Not strange really, considering that Xenon were originally designed by Earth engineers and scientists for terraforming duties in the alien gate network.

They are not meerly machines, they are thinking AI, they easily could have a bug in which they consider themselves superior in tech and numbers when often they are not.
