For those of you who like to hold a grudge I offer these thoughts... I am looking to role play more than min-max. But it seems the space dwarfs can be a pretty powerful race according to my thoughts below.
- Subterranean Origin is the obvious choice.
Planet type? I suppose Alpine would be thematic but since they are cave dwellers I suppose it doesn't matter?
Ethics... Some degree of materialist is essential. Except for pacifist/spiritualist, I could see them being a small degree of all other ethics... Egalitarian or Authoritarian. Xenophobe or Xenophile, Militarist or not.
- It seems quite a few civics could apply
Master Crafters, Mining Guilds, Warrior Culture, Technocracy, Merchant Guilds, Functional Architecture, Meritocracy, Citizen Service, and perhaps even Byzantine Bureaucracy all seem apropos for dwarfs or dwarves.
Appropriate Traits... Cave Dwellers, Ingenious, Industrious, Thrifty, Natural Engineers, Intelligent, Strong, Conformist, Enduring, Resilient, Traditional
and Negative Traits... Slow Breeders, Non-adaptive, Quarrelsome (which is strangely the opposite of Traditional), Unruly, Sedentary
AND... the reptilian ships seem the most dwarf like to me...
Any other dwarf fans out there? Your input is welcome!
