I know that you've said you are very resistant to taking IFE and NAS, but let me urge you to reconsider and testbed a race with both. NAS seems like a big risk with not being able to penscan planets to see if your enemy is concentrating, but since you are playing against an SS this is a problem even with penscans and the doubled deep space scan range from NAS can be a life saver against an SS. You do need to put cheap sacrificial scouts in orbit of planets to force the enemy to go through DS instead of planet hopping, but you need chaff anyway. Plus the RW points are really good.
IFE allows you to take Prop expensive and still get out the gate (pun intended) in a hurry as you will not have to research Prop at all to get to the Any/300 gate and the FM engine is a really amazing thing.
Here's my suggestion:
LRT - IFE, ISB, NRSE, OBRM, NAS, RS (I know, this is too many LRTs to be optimal, but I believe that they are all valuable enough to be worth 13 points to take RS.)
Hab - Grav:Imm; Temp: -124 to 140; Rad: 64 to 92 (this is wide centered and narrow right) 1 in 5 hab.
PGR - 18%
Resources - 1 per 1,000 pop
Fac - 5/25/5 no G box
Mine - 10/3/14
En/Con/Weap cheap; El normal; Prop/Bio exp.
