Early game tech race.

Ok, this is driving me spare as my preferences keep changing depending on the situation - but I feel like this is one area I think there should be an underlying preference. Razz

All things being equal (say average min cincs, etc) what's your favourite first tech rush if you have a non-IFE IS and why?
eg:
* Get radram Pvts as quickly as possible and don't let pop go above 25%?
* Just run for Con8 and stuff pop - you can quickly fix it later?
* Run for Con8, but (try to) contain pop at 25%?
* Something else?

OK, here is a hypothetical scenario. Let's forget early war and the need for W for a moment. Let's pretend our nearest breeders are OK for distance but not brilliant - say, one is 128ly away and the next is 164ly (in the opposite direction). Finally, lets say there are quite a few breeders near that further one.

Would you be inclined to skip the nearest breeder and run for the *next* nearest from the get go? (Doing so is probably going to slow down your tech rush if you try to hold at 25% because of the excessive need to build ships?)

Any and all thoughts are welcomed. Smile

Cheers
S.
