This is similar to the strategy used by the Superons - though they do it much better. There are a few tweaks to the race I'd consider (con normal, maybe slightly more expensive factories for a better eff or IFE, etc.). Probably take NAS since I can stand that more than the tactical uncertainty created by CE...but the Superons are an impressive race.

Okay, here's my humble offering. What I call a "Sprint Mode" CA,Version 5. The race started as a thought experiment on Friday night, andthanks to the rapid "real world" testing afforded by IRC has matured very quickly, until it is about as well tuned as I can make it. An earlier version is entered in "Feeding Time at the Zoo", and is doing fairly well as 4th of a field of 8 in 2454.

Race name: Superons
PRT = CA
LRT = TT, NRSE, CE, OBRM, LSP (yes, CE is a pain, but I needed the points, and NAS is worse. OBRM is a no-brainer, for reasons that will become clear later)
Grav .31 to .71, Temp -120c to -40c, Rad 20 to 40 ( 1 in 93 hab[!] )
Growth rate 20%
Pop eficiency 1/1000
Factories 14/8/20 (G-Box checked)
Mines 10/3/21
Weaps and Bio -50%
Energy, Elect, Prop, and Const all +75%
+75% start at level 3

I can't find my notes for resources at particular years, but I can tell you that this race has consistently benchmarked at 29K in testbeds (Walking over even expert AI like they weren't there), and has hit just barely short of the 25K mark in two IRC blitzes (One of whic
