Here's a sample race, for fun. Feel free to rip it apart Wink

IS (duh)
ISB, OBRM, NAS, RS
1.04g to 2.00g (24 clicks wide)
-140^ to 140^ (70 clicks wide)
Rad immune
20% PGR, 1in5 (only one click in grav off 1in4)
1/1000
5/25/5/4g
10/3/12
weap, con, prop all cheap
el normal
en and bio expensive

I think this is a good template for a standard -f playstyle and highlights all the other options you can make.
You can scrape points from the hab, tech, drop to 19% or even lose a few mines operated.
Places to put those points - IFE, TT (with narrower hab), take 1/900 res, factories 10/25/10, drop NAS.

I would never drop ISB unless you know you won't be going out beyond 200 l.y. AND that you are going for a wide hab, long term capacity tactic.

The hardest decision I find is on the tech page.
Weaps and Con both cheap is pretty standard.
After that anything goes and is invariably tied to the LRT choices and what sort of MM you want to have to put into the early "getting ready" phase (see below).

The other bane, for IS, is the early researching and getting fully ready for colonisation "in time".
Starting with all fields 0 (or prop at 1) makes things fiddly - not least having to balance buying the moving tech, buying scouts, buying enough mines (especially with a low min conc draw) and buying some terra tech (or weaps to escort your longer distance colonising parties).
You need to have gone through it in advance, including buying the escort ships, or you'll end up running out of Iron or resources.
Can often end up waiting for an extra turn, allowing the then bigger HW to build the ships more comfortably. (velvetthroat mentioned having the 1/900 to help with the ship building problem).

Anyway, I like -f IS and the above is how I tend to look at things when sitting down at the RW.
