Why take IFE when you can make speed 6 ramscoop freighters by:
minicol hull/cargo pod x 3
minicol hull/fuel tank x 6
(or any variation in a 1/2 ratio)
This will give you a cargo ship that can go warp 9 for 3 turns loaded.

And why, by the gods, are you taking 10/3/18 mines? Even an HG doesn't go past 10/3/15, oftimes. And a -f will /never/ use all those minerals unless they're throwing fifty gazillion packets. You can easily improve your tech or growth (because that 10%-20% is not going to help once your worlds are hitting 25% cap, and it only gives you as many people as everyone else's planets would at 10% growth.) Drop to 10/3/12 mines at /most/, spend that on growth or tech, you'll be better off, and you'll still have too many minerals. Heck, I've played 10/4/7 mine races, and /still/ get too many mins.

I can't speak from experience (having never played a -f HE and having no inclination to) but it looks to me like freakyboy is talking about a playable race and you two are talking about a max testbed race.
Personally I don't think there's any such thing as too many minerals, even with my 25/2/25 mine HE race where the minerals quickly amass in the tens of thousands.
As for IFE, well, I've noticed it's a cast-iron b_tch trying to fit the settlers delight engine onto warships, or weapons onto the mini-colonizer.  The fuel mizer ramscoop at P2 can fulfill all your propulsion needs better than any other engine for a long time without propulsion research. And as for the mini-colonizer hull, some HE's would rather keep their prt a secret.
There's my two cents worth. Coming from me, you better hope you're not getting ripped off.
