Best guide to different faction playstyles?

from Sins Forums
I saw one comment that decribed the Vasari as tough but fewer and expensive; the advent as buffers/debuffers with shields (ie vasari can bypass em) and the TEX as a jack of all trades, economy focused.

That gives me some sense of the difference... but I would love it if someone could direct me to a really good thread or website which explains the strength and weakness of each faction - and what that means for strategy/tactics.

Thanks!

Vasari are all about guerilla tactics actually, as they are few but not stronger. Advent are all about culture and buff/debuff(antimatter abilities) and tec is all about economy.

Although I haven't played Tec, I have played Vasari and Advent a lot. Advent seems to be more on culture and a slow build, hence having not having a second attack frigate in the first Military Tech tree. They go for culture and their economy upgrades are slightly better then Tec or Vasari but they don't get Refineries. They also lack the military super weapons of Tec and Vasari but they do have a long range Cultural weapon and a tech that allows training over time and extra xp for capital ships suggesting turtle tactics.
Vasari lack the early Trade building but they can get Refineries at the same tech tree as Trade for the other two races. Their support ships use mostly single target abilities and they don't get as good of improved bombing as Tec or Advent. They seem more of the Tech over Size type of race where from what I have seen, Tec is more of. They also get repair bays earlier then the other races.
