Thread: best race??
Zabrak - Not sure on mind stats, equalibrim (I consiter this one of the best ablitys in the game), some state defenses.
Ithorian or Mon Cal - Higher Primary Mind stats, lower secondary, but with enough brandy and arihisa, that can be fixed
Wookiee - Great Stats, Wookiee Roar is a area intimidate if I remember corectlly, some nice armor with low encumberance ( I think the stuff is lower encumb than composite )
Not sure on the other species, but theses would be the races I would choose

i would beta zillion donut holes that the combat revamp will bring a special move type bar just like the jedi force bar. your stats will affect how fast it regens and how much a move drains. your level in skills will prolly determine how much you have in total. or something VERY VERY similar to the force usage and jedi attacks.
QFE! (quoted for effect)
The curb will bring many changes - so picking a race will still be an advantage but I don't think one race or other will be as handicapped as they are no picking up non-optimal professions as they currently are. But as no one knows yet it is hard to say what really will happen. All I expect is that you will not be spamming specials any more and more likely using auto-attack for most of combat with specials thrown for tactical effect.
The big thing here which most people are missing is that this is a game - it is meant to be fun and it is meant to be fun in the way you play. Grinding is not needed for professions, being the best in the game is not needed to be fun(unless of course this was a First person shooter). Fun is playing what you want to play in the way you want to. Take your time playing, socialize, hunt in groups. Play that wookiee or zabrak if you like em. All in all you should play what you want to play - being slightly handicapped by stats should not stop you from playing what you find as fun.

I picked Wookiee with the sole intention of being able to use my bowcaster. Even with no weaponsmith skills, was able to make mine 115-176 damage and use it from day one. Not sure if there are any Wookiee master weaponsmiths out there that make them, but i'd love to see the stats on a master created bowcaster. Probably pretty nasty. Plus, it'skinda neat having a weapon that no other species can use.
