First off, the LRT's are going to be seriously hurting this race. LSP will cause too slow of a startup and only NRSE isn't going to provide for any early mobility to colonize planets. If you're taking NRSE you should be taking IFE.
Additionally, the expensive propulsion is going to mean you aren't going to get decent engines in any reasonable time.

The hab of 1 in 4 is OK but I would shift it to 6 clicks from the edge to get more points to work with. I'd also squeeze a few more points from it while keeping it just in the 1 in 4 range.

For the econ, I'd be going with 14 14 for the factories rather than 13 16. You'd only generate 120 less resources per million colonists but you'd have less factories to build - I'd also unclick the G box. Cutting your mines down to 12 mines and you have now a total of over 100 more resource points to spend.

Never take weaps normal in a standard game - weaps are cheap. make the con normal.

With those extra 100+ points, I'd take the IFE and dropt the LSP.

I could now very easily monster this race by 2450.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.
