First:
do you think it is good to have a mine-efficiency higher than 10? It costs a lot and maybe either having remotes (especially as an IT can distribute the minerals very efficiently and gate heavy miners easily) or wider habs for more planets and more minerals in total might be a better choice?

Without OBRM your main production planets are 10% smaller and thus mine less. They additionaly have 20% less germ to export at efficiency 10 versus 12. That all together means that no "OBRM/mine eff 10" breeder has 75% early germ of what OBRM/mine eff 12" has. Sure, at midgame+ the remote miners are quite handy ... but early it seems almost waste of effort to colonize something without immediate privateer of germ dropped. Nod

Second:
the problem for HPs to early terraform can be partly compensated by picking ultimate recycling. I know that LRT is not very popular, but I have learned to love it!
As an HP will have (especially IT with 2 starting planets) some very well producing planets very quickly, he can buield and send cheap ships to yellows, scrap them there and get a nice boost for early terraforming until they are greens. I would just build factories as many as I can on the yellow and then scrap some old ships every turn to get a quicker start...
I experienced it being worth the points...

UR costs same points as going from factory cost 8 to 7. Testing exactly that deal leaves me with mixed feelings. "UR/factory cost 8" races breeders get up slightly slower to boot despite stalwart defender and swashbuckler scrapped. Later there is lot of additional MM involved i dont like. However "no UR/factory cost 7" ... is also weak and any ships it builds for defense are wasted and cant be reused. So i dont know ... without UR it just feels simpler to play. Nod
