All this talk about the greatness of JOAT has me thinking about an interesting possible design:
The Gerbils
IFE, NRSE, OBRM, NAS
Grav and Temp immune, rad 6 to 26 (1 in 5)
15% growth
1000 resources, 5/25/5 factories, 10/3/11 mines
weapons, con, elec cheap
ene normal
prop, bio expensive (tech 4 not checked)
5 points to surface minerals
Due to the JOAT's innate 20% more pop per planet and the OBRM, this race could ramp up quickly despite the 15% growth for a -f race - especially with the 2 immunities. And the low rad allows for more potential non-overlapping habs with allies.
One thing about -f JOATs in general is that the starting tech 3 really allows them to gain some pretty impressive tech more quickly than anyone else.

ok, re-tested this race with 18% GR, while you can only take 2 cheap, even with and IFE and ISB, I really dont find two years till 500K on your HW worth 200 RW points better spent elsewhere, into making it more competetive in the LATE game era, I mean, sure you also get 10K of pop more than you would taking 15% GR, I am continuing to test these Bi-Immune races, which I find competetive.

I've tried a similar design w/ 2 cheap and 17%. I'm pretty sure that one hit 40k by 50 in the low MM test I did.
Ramped very nicely, but ran out of planets quite fast too.

in their various garages. Then, faintly, I hear voices from another star.
(I clocked it once, and the reception is best between 3:00 A.M. and 4:45
A.M.). Of course, I don't usually tell people this when they ask, "Say,
where do you get your ideas?" I just say I don't know. It's safer."
