Lots of alternatives that may apply depending on your usual QS w IFE settings

a) more mines and/or cheaper mines and/or more mine efficiency.

b) micromanage building queue better. Start earlier building mines on your HW rather than factories.

That's getting back to the point I made earlier.
If you build mines instead of factories, then you're slowing your initial economy down. We all know that you need mines, but once you have quite a few factories, you can build so many more mines and therefore more factories. The compounding effect is enormous. Smile

c) micromanage transports more carefully to increase turn around times (less then needed). I took over for a bit for 2 other players when they had vacations. In each case, by very carefully micromanaging the ship hops I could sqeeze more speed/transporting out. Later in game no time for this but IFE only matters in early going.

Yes I always do this whether I've chosen IFE or not. The FM always does it better of course. Cool

Quote:

d) choose factories use one less germ if didn't otherwise

Difficult not to choose this one. For a cost of "around" 58 points it's very good value.
I can't remember the last time I didn't choose it! Trophy

Quote:

e) improved starbases for stardocks if not otherwise (as Kotk mentions)

As already responded, refer my other post. Razz

Quote:

f) improved stardocks + ultimate recycling with something else more expensive to pay can be used to reclaim germ out of early ugly transports while boosting hub colonies. Turning transports into resources with UR on a high germ hub colony means the germ from the colony starts flowing faster to supply the local surrounding small colonies.

Not many players choose UR and the reason is because value for money it's not Shocked

I'd take IFE anyday.

Remember too that's it's not only for the benefit of obtaining the FM that you choose IFE. 15% less fuel usage on all engines for the entire game is quite significant. Admittedly the advantage is greatest in the first 20 years (depending on racial type/style of play), but that's when you need it the most. Nod
