Certainly the only PRTs I'd take NF into a regular game would be CA and IT. I've seen a NF IS taken into a tiny game and it was simply torn to shreds after giving his neighbors a brief fright - and this was before the rise of quickstarts (in a tiny or a small, NF is probably contraindicated...)

I've added IS to this list, for medium or bigger. It's a little slower than the CA and IT at the beginning, but defends better and has a much stronger endgame. Plus, your Nubs get the Jammer50 advantage, and cloaking SD minelayers/SS aren't near the pain in the butt that they usually are.

I'm running one in the current "advanced" game I am involved in, and have eliminated one race, and forced 2 others to quit. I am at war with an additional 4 races, and am easily winning. I have more cap ships than all others combined, and finally have a couple decent Orgies to start popping a fully defend planet each turn.

The real trick is the midgame war, where the +25% to weaps really hurts. Luckily, I was able to get to nubs pretty fast, since I was only at war with 2 races during that period...
