OK, this has been done to death, but it's been bugging me again this week.
Looking at the races I've played, seen or made, I keep thinking the minimum viable hab for a non-immune HG (non-CA, non-TT) is around 1 in 6 in a reasonably speedy game (say, ~30 planets per player, dense or packed universe).
Anyone have experience winning with a non-imm HG with narrower hab than 1 in 6 in a reasonably vanilla universe that they care to share?
Cheers,
S.

Yup.
IT is so damned expensive that I am usually playing it with a hab of 1 in 7. And sometimes I even win: Infight
In the above game the 1 in 7 hab-IT had 31k res in 2455, weap 16, con 13 (altogether 10-16-9-13-11-6) and lots of firepower all over the universe. Joseph was my very valuable ally and providing a good part of the above mentioned tech, of course.
While I certainly would like to go with a better hab, IT is THE PRT to get away with 1 in 7, though. And so far i haven't succeeded in creating a HG-IT-race design I'd like to play with that has better than 1 in 7 hab. Probably it would be a -f... at least for me.

Didn't think of IT. 1 in 7 because you didn't take NAS?
