PP definitely fares best in a universe where CA is banned.
Granted, these days I'm of the opinion that CA should be banned in just about all games since it reduces the ability for a wider variety of races to succeed.
I played a -F PP with a great deal of success in my last game. Granted the game failed in the mid-80s due to my incompetent hosting (as i've become more slackerly in these recent years of playing).
This race was a -F PP, that actually had a relatively high number of factories operated (7/25/14). The intended goal was to build no factories, but occupy as many as I could get my hands on to boost the -F's growth in the midgame. In theory this was a great idea. In practice, all but one of the neighbors w/ compatible habs (ie. good for the taking!) were -Fs as well!! This more or less destroyed my mid-game growth. eventually ended up locked in a seige warfare against an HE for planets w/ facts.
Ended the game in 2nd place. The majority of my resources and minerals were spent on having the biggest, baddest, and most aggressive fleet at all times. I spared nothing on warship construction. As a -F, it's really the only way to go. Outspend your opponents on war and force them to put off building their economy. The packets were used primarily for pre-terraforming.
I didn't hide the PRT at all. I'd considered doing so though. If I want to hide my PRT, I won't be caught as a PP. I would've redesigned all initial ships and SBs to look like an IT or joat. If I wanted to move from world to world, I would planet hop. It's simple enough to hide if you do it right, but I didn't think it would be worth it. My hab range was so unappealing to most players that I was an unlikely target. Additionally, I was a PP. No one had ANYTHING to gain by attacking ME early. Besides, the cheaper early pen scans were just too damn useful.
Also, I don't get the whole thign on NAS. NOT taking NAS is a no brainer IMO. It's not a point mine. You get nothing for it, and you can't trade pen s
