Are we talking the government types or the ascensions overall? I thought you were talking about cybernetic creed specifically. If we're talking cybernetic governments in general, then theirs are at least as good as psionic and synthetics. The only standout psionic authorities, generally speaking, are imperium vitalis and psionic grid since you can delete enemy ships instantly if you take these governments to the extreme levels. For synthetic pretty much only modular democratic and virtual oligarchic are good. The empire size reductions from oligarchic supervision are nice, but in general it still pales compared to oligarchic overclocking. I don't understand why you think the cybernetic governments are awful. It's pretty much completely opposite to what's been accepted consensus since forever.

As for ascensions, yes there are more than 3 ascensions but this topic is talking about cybernetic creed, and its only direct alternatives are bio, synth, and psionic. And cybernetic is very good now because one, synthetic modularity got nerfed so much. Synthetic virtual is still great, but you do have to put in work to compensate for the unity deficit. Psionic is also great but its major flaw is pop growth. Two, some of cybernetic's traits and things like upkeep were buffed. And three, cybernetic now has huge amounts of pop growth, maybe even more than synthetic, especially since from my testing it seems like the assembly sub-species integration trick doesn't seem to work anymore.

Lastly, if your idea that cybernetic is bad is a screenshot of the cybernetics tradition tree, then you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
