Hi!

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.

I'm not arguing for FM. IT's the second of two races that can afford to not use FM and still remain competitive. I'd like to tell you the simple fact your race will use more germ for factories than other races. Also, using scoops for your ships will take another dent in already lower amount of germ available. And your race doesn't have another mean of geting more germ.
I've played once a HP in such a situation. If I wouldn't be lucky and get alien miner from the first MT that arrived I'd be able to build only about 1500 AMP Nubs, despite having iron for at least 4000. That's the situation I have in mind when using HP - long games, most tech maxed, with thousands of warships, where available minerals decide about winner. If you want to be one, you better cover that inherent HP's germ shortage, and don't make it worse with scoops.
BR, Iztok
