Actually, Steve, i think you get it wrong that we tell you that IFE is not worth its points. It often is. Like i said i think majority of successful race designs still have it and lot of unsuccessful ones miss it. Just that me and others have played and won several games without. The edge was taken from points left unspent at IFE or even from taking CE. Both these LRT-s may seem to be counter-intuitive when we talk of quick starters but these points were well-spent to sharpen other edges so its possible to live without IFE. Nod

Think ... why Matt sits there and carefully runs few test runs to get his IFE-less design ticking? Somehow these 3 germaniums do not feel when battling him. Cool

I have seen that the privateers with IFE often have way too lot of fuel. I have felt it like a (bit unneccessary) luxury sometimes. Meanwhile talking of quickstarts i have lost few valuable years (and resources for a decent attack fleet) to build the stations all over the place since i got no ISB and i have seen how i somehow am short of ironium instead of germanium when preparing for early or midgame battle. At endgame i have had to fight that uphill battle against TS-10 nubians with IS-10 nubians or lost a battle thanks to missing intel with NAS. One can not have everything he wants. ~200 more germaniums at HW floor at turn 20 are in the most bottom of my wish list but I still do not deny that IFE is often worth the points. Nod

Another note of me with some quick starting race ... when i see that one of my neighbours is a IT with IFE and similar to me hab i usually feel that i got lucky. Its because it is usually another clumsy and blind HP IT with its expensive propulsion, NRSE, no RS and juicy factories to overtake. Wink
