You have forgotten that you have gates. Freighters take 1 year. The DLL7 is a better engine for freighters than the QJ5. The TGMS is good enough by itself, you don't need 15% lower consumption. Any/any gates? Who needs them? Seriously, the any/800 is always good enough. QJ5 scouts can go just as fast as FM scouts, they just run out of fuel faster Ever heard of agreed borders? Quote: I have edited my previous post that my memory was incorrect about right shifting. Ninja editing... yuck. HP is germ-starved no matter what. Why make it worse? If you're germ-starved, then that box is a good investment. End of story. You seem to be confusing ramp speed with capacity. For an HP to be viable you *must* have significantly greater resource capacity than an HG. End of story. Your race does not. Cheap techs are not the way to get tech. Better econ is the way to get tech. I can see a case for cheap or normal con, but cheap prop, you've gotta be kidding me. Seriously, WHY? Quote: What I would like is to find points to put into mineral concentrations without losing the race concept...LSP perhaps? hmmm LSP's ok, but you generally don't *want* leftover points.

*sigh* IFE improves ALL engines by 15% TGFM, QJ5, even your precious DLL7. Its a LRT that enhances the range and mobility of all your ships at all stages of the game.

I dont plan to argue the merits of the QJ5 compared to the DLL7 because the statement I made in that direction is out of context since we are talking about IT, which starts with the DLL7 and is a diffrent animal than my successful experiments with the QJ5 and extensive fuel management. A subject that receives little attention from what I have noticed and one that I plan to write a fair bit about once my experiments are complete.

We are talking about HP right??? For sure any/800 gates are great but any/any give you even more mobility in those large and huge maps that HP's thrive in.

You just made my point, yes QJ5 sc
