In normal universe you can expect 4 planets to be within 81 LY distance from your HW and 16 planets within two W-9 jumps. But an IT starts with two planets, so for your IT race with 1 in 8 hab that means 1 single green planet within 81 LY distance from both planets, 1.5 within 98, 2.6 within 128 and 4.2 within 162. In dense uni you can expect 1.3 greens and in packed 1.7 within 1 W-9 jump. Those numbers look awfully low to me. Adding my usual bad to average luck with planet draw I'd _never_ gamble on them. With using DLL-7 you are.

I must admit I'm thinking more about packed/dense here. Would a QS be a good design choice in other environments ?

Also, if the 3rd pvt transfers its fuel and heads back home after 1 turn then you can get two turns at W9 (162 ly). You can then go another turn at W7 for a total of 211 ly. I've just done a little spreadsheet work and that gives me 14 planets in packed, of which at least 1 and probably 2 are green. Colonise these, get a gate up in 3 turns at one of them and then that gives you another set of planets to go for.

Anyway, it seems to work for me. In a medium or sparse universe, IFE is probably a must though.

But for the proposed IT with already 4 bad LRTs regen shields costed 27 points, instead giving 10 Sad

But I'm treating it as an advantage, so it is worth spending points on. Anyway, as I said, I can take it or leave it.
