Since you don't have IFE, have you considered running to con8 fast (<2410) and using a couple of LFs (and an FT if absolutely necessary - maybe 1 or 2 max) with QJ5 while you run for prop (I tend to put a Coloniser module on a QJ5 LF, if I make any at all).


I have been trying some of this stuff, and I have not been able to reach construct 8 for the large freighter before my home world reaches 25%. The only way I think I might be able to reach it would be to turn off auto-build minds on my home world - but I'm worried this will set back my mineral production too much. Or maybe not?

What sort of auto-build orders do you put on your home world when playing -f IS? I had been going with auto-build 12 mines each turn, but the more I think about this, the more I think this might be wrong. At roughly 10 resources a mine for roughly 8 turns, I was throwing 960 resources into mines I probably didn't need right then. With cheap construction tech, that might be enough to hit con8 before my homeworld is full. Hmm... I think I have just talked myself into trying this!


It's been a while, but my goal is 3~4 good greens (+HW) by 2409~2411 and that's around when I hit C8. What happens to the early ships (and how they are designed) depends on hab draw and neighbours. But I am farrrr from one of the aggressively playing experts. Smile

So yes, iirc, I tend to have a bit of ship production going before hitting C8. I think the earliest I got C8 without killing pop growth was 2408.

BTW ... I think 12 mines is possibly too much for most -f IS (possibly your design needs massive minerals?) Personally I always like about 10-ish and had luck with 10/3/9 once. I'm not as gutsy as others and haven't tried anything less than that in PBEM.

Happy to be corrected by anyone and happy for others to hit C8 earlier Smile Smile
