Rather than researching up to prop 6, the non-combo race could just build lots of boosters. IS, SD, and HE could best get away with it via their Fuel Transport,

I've tried a IS without IFE. With ISB too and -f (also from the RWIAB game that Backblast mentioned).

It's a pain. With any standard engine less the the AD8, going warp 8 is very expensive in fuel, and warp 9 even more so. The IS FX ships are a big help, but even those are fairly expensive, and you need a lot to go fast with early tech engines and large loads. I had further problems of a very bad initial hab draw, so some of my colonization trips had to go very far. Refueling at a dock wasn't really an option, as I didn't have them built in the right places. With enough time (and therefore tech - especially terraforming tech) things got much better - but you can't always get the time, I was lucky Backblast went after some one else first.
