I played a very similar race once and ran into some troubles. The drawback as an IT of having NRSE without IFE is that your engines are *expensive,* namely in ironium. And privateers already cost enough!
This will be even more apparent later in the game with NAS when you're forced to build hundreds of kamikaze "ping" scouts.
Maybe your extra minerals will overcome that. I dunno.


Using a FF or scout with QJ5 and X laser (standard chaff) for pinging you can go w9 for 1 year for 48 fuel. The scout can just manage this, and the FF can do it easily.

There isn't a cheap w10 engine, and you can't ping effectively with a 2 year trip, so you can't do much better with the fuel mizer or scoops.
