"Start at 3" box:
... it allows you to start with the prop 6 scoop (which needs energy 2). Not only is it better than the DLL7 at every speed except 7, but in my testbed I found it very useful for scouting. All your starting ships start with the scoop, and so you can send your scouts out, and they will probably not run out of fuel...

...but will give your neighbours free levels in prop when they'll be hounting down 2 Guns

those scouts and give away your PRT and lots of info about LRTs.

Also, for scoops in your ships you'll use germ. The same germ that you'll use for lots of your factories. Since you don't have remotes or better mines, you'll be severely germ-limited, when it will come to massive shipbuilding in late mid game and later. Being HP you aim at long games, but lack of germ will cripple fighting potential of your race there. Wheelchair

You better do something about that if you want this race to be successfull. Weights

BR, Iztok

All the engines except the FM cost germanium, and I figured IFE is not really worth the points, especially for IT. Not taking NRSE gives you more options. If you don't like using the RHRS, you can use the cheaper (in germanium costs) DLL7. In my testbed it worked fine, although that doesn't say anything about real games.

If I used the DLL7 engine, they would get almost as much free prop research anyways. Since the RHRS requires two energy levels, someone killing them might get those cheaper levels instead. And, if you're worried about neighbors "stealing" your technology, you still have the option of sending out little cheap scouts with QJ5's and Bat Scanners. You don't lose anything, at this stage in the game, by not taking NRSE, except possibly a couple of mines or something that would be bought with points from NRSE (which would net fewer points anyways because it would make (disadvantages - advantages) greater than 3). If you're HP, hopefully your diplomatic situation will ...
