I agree +25% weapons hurts IS for missiles and other expensive weapons. In its favor in early game, you have minigun, fuel transport and crobby for the early wars, and orgies give you potential to grow faster (grow while in transit to breeder worlds), and faster planetary defences can be nice (enemy forced to bring more bombers and tie down his attack fleet or else you pop up another fort/base on planet under seige).

One note - the minigun is *not* suitable for early wars beyond the role of minor skirmishing/interdiction. It's basically an upgunned x-ray laser - range 2 and more expensive, same pathetic 13 damage. Aside from minor skirmishing, it can also be handy if you end up next to an SD for minesweeping (it is bar none the best anti-mine weapon at that tech level). Don't count on it to hold you through an early war however, like you can croby hordes.
