IFE is expensive to buy. The main reason for buying it is FM. Not -15% fuel consumption, not tech 21 scoop. These are just bonuses. If you make FM unusable you wasted a LRT.

You are right that FM is the main reason for IFE and IFE is almost always taken because it is too good. There are still good reasons for IFE with a crippled FM:

1. With NRSE you have a cheap 'scoop' which is very efficient at low warp (for heavy ships) and allows independence for ships operating far away.

2. You get -15% fuel consumption

3. You get +1 propulsion tech

4. Does taking IFE 'waste' and LRT? I thought you could take as many 'cost' LRTs without penalty, but I will check.

I do take your point though and perhaps the cost of the modified LRT could be reduced or the fuel consumption bonus improved.

However, I would still take IFE under the proposed mod because it is still a good engine and allows for fast startup. Perhaps the W6 usage could be tweaked. Also, isn't the FM a Germanium free cost (if not it will be in the mod! Wink

?

Essentially, what I'm trying to do is not make the FM the best drive until TS-10s come along.
