Quote: | Yeah, there's not much in it. But it's 59 points according to the race wizard, which buys you one of...
* ISB, -4 points (move temp band up by 1)
* Ram scoops, +26 points (+1 fact operated, temp 1 click wider)
* 19% growth, +1 fact operated
* +2 fact, +1 mine operated
* Improve 1 tech, as you say, but -10 points
Any of which seems a better deal to me.

Actually, ISB is not as important to IT's as most peaple think. In fact, after playing with it for a while, I have found that IT races tend to be better without it, because their Econ is better. Ram scoops, who cares? It's an IT race, they have stargates and the antimatter fuel generator. 19% growth, as Iztok said before, its a little high for a race without many colonizable planets. Also, for this race, the difference between 18% and 19% is negligable. Factories and mines... maybe, but it slows the ramp-up of the race, which is a little slow to begin with, due to needing to find planets. Improve one tech, eh. All I really want is Con and Weap, it is not ment to be a really long-term race, though it could very well be.
Now for the reasons for taking it. Having an electronics boost is amazing. Especially with the NAS boosting your sight range, you can see half the map with your starting planets alone. The gravity +7 teraforming is everything. With such a little habitability bar, I can terraform a 25% planet to 90% or better with only 10 terraforming. Also, I get rad terraforming +3 with onlt one level of cheap reasearch, and +7 when I get to level 5. You will notice, if you actually make the hab ranges in a stars race creator, that I mad the Grav wider than the Rad to take advantage of the early terraforming. Its really nice to see all of those 40-50%'s turn into 100%'s in a few short turns. The energy doesnt help much early in the game though. I cant think of any others currently.

If you cannot love, you will always hate, and in hate there is only death.
