I think that in Stars! it is folly to class any single PRT as the best, or the worst. Which ones perform better than others depends on so many factors in each individual game that it makes no sense to consider one to be the worst overall. I think that they were all balanced fairly well, and that in the hands of the right players, they all have roughly equal potential, all things considered.

The only possible balancing problem is CA, but their edge isn't as great as some seem to think it is, it just happens to be a very prominent one, which is easily taken advantage of, as opposed to the advantages of, say, SS, which are at least as powerful(IMO), but require a great deal more skill to exploit.

The question you're really asking is, which race is easiest to use well? HE isn't the most difficult to use with a middling effectiveness, but I'd say that squeezing the real power out of them is a task for advanced players. PP is even more difficult to use effectively, and so it is often considered the weakest, because most people don't use it very well. On the other hand, CA, JOAT and IS are all very easy to use and have strengths that are easily exploited, so there are alot more people who are capable of building and playing a powerful CA, JOAT, or IS than there are people who can do the same with a PP or HE.

That's my view.
