I don't think it's economical to have a race with both 20% and 900 pop eff though.

It's not quite that good, since an IS HG and high PGR non-IS can overpop too but yeah, I think most peeps agree with you.

But having the equivalent of a hard to kill/mobile 11/x/13 econ, no fac building costs, no germ shortage, 2.5 or 3.0 cheap tech, a highly mobile pop drop army keeping bomber costs down and resources available for quite nasty early ship building has a lot to be said for it.

If you take 20% and 1/900, you'll take probably take NAS and 1imm with 1in7 hab. So it also depends on how highly you rate penscanners and wide hab.

Hab: 1in7 hab gives easy big greens with minimal terraforming (1in10 if you take IFE and ISB, but not NRSE). The 1imm means they're not completely awful at the get go (like 2% :S)and each click of terra gives ~2%. Do you really need to be able to have 100% end game hab coverage with lots of 50% and 60% planets, when you can end up with 1in3/1in4 which are pretty much all 85%+ and have intersettled without too much stress in the run up and can actually make use of the reds?

NAS: SS (or anyone) sending in skirmishers/freighter killers to take out multiple orgies before you have Tachys might hurt. Having NAS isn't necessarily completely wasted on IS in the early/mid game as long as you also have plenty of spare chaff watching for planet hoppers.
