Greetings All,

Thought I would come out of my dormant fase and give comments on this race econ design.

For one thing IT is very nice for a -f if you know how to use it. One thing to keep in mind is that they start off with Con/Prop 5 regardless of the game, that is DLL7 _AND_ Privateers (don't forget Stargates), so not selecting IFE will not hurt you, nor will selecting NRSE, as your IT stargates can get you from point A to point B regardless of mass.

That in mind you need Weapons and Con Cheap, and with a 20% GR, imune narrow wide hab, you can afford to use it. Also keep in mind that going with a 1000/1 resource income and 20% is a LOT cheaper than a 900/1 -f econ. Don't belive me, check yourself. Though you could drop your GR to 19% and try to go with the nice boosters as IFE and ISB WITHOUT NRSE, or even improve your mine settings, but the idea is to just keep moving. Just remember it is cheaper to keep it simple, as the difference for a 2500/1 and a 1000/1 are the benchmarks for points in the Race wizard, anything less than 1000/1 and between that and 2500 is either to expensive or not worth the points. And when setting up a -f econ it is better to max out to 20% as it makes for earlier expansion and quicker setup of new colonies (really nice when you don't select ISB and getting cheap Orbital Fort Stargates out in one year).

That in mind it is just a matter of taste. If you feel you like the high cost and low return of a 900/1 col efficiency (an improvement of less than 123 resources per maxed out colony) or you like having more cheap tech that is your playing style.

Hope this helps,
Stalwart
