I am working on optimizing a race for a game I am to take part in. Since the other players might also read this thread, I cannot give too much information on my race, but i believe I can give enough for others to offer their advice.

The race has IFE, and my quandary is whether to take NRSE or CE. The game will be in a medium dense universe, without galaxy clumping, with 12-14 players

With NRSE I get the IS10 engine at propulsion 11, but the only ramscoop I get is the FM.

With CE I get the other ramscoop engines, including the GS which gives warp 9 for free and is safe at warp 10, and I get better mine settings (more mines operated, not better efficiency), but with CE, my ships fail to travel 10% of the time if the speed is over warp 6 (which it will often be), and I do not get the IS10 engine. I will also pay less for my engines, of course, but that is a minor point in that regard.

My question is, of course, what would you choose, and why ?

Any advice will be welcome.
