No, no, I'm not talking about a testbed race by any means. I'm talking about actual races in actual games. No, they're not HE, but they /are/ -f.

In one game, I've got gigantic stocks of all minerals that I can't use up as fast as I continue to mine, and my mine settings are, I kid you not, 11/3/7. Now, that's an IT, but it certainly works.

10/3/12 is what I've got for another race: This one SS, and which just threw packets big enough to kill several worlds with maximal defenses, and hasn't used the robber baron yet...
...and still has enough minerals on the ground to build lots and lots of ships.

10/4/7 is certainly extreme, but it'd also be playable; I've done it.

Now, I just made an HE... compare this one to the previous one:

NRSE, OBRM, ISB, TT. Reasonable LRTs, although I'd tend to want to take NAS as well.

Hab: All bars full width, then in one.
PGR: 12% (the NAS version can go up to 13%.)

Econ:
Pop: 1/1000 efficiency, the only setting worth the cost.
Factories: 5/25/5, no g box. Standard -f.
Mines: 10/3/13 (NAS version might drop to 10/3/12 for that extra point or two to get the 13% PGR.)

Tech: Weap, Const, Bio cheap and Ener, Elect, Prop expensive.
Obviously you can toy with those (I might want ener and bio both std, but that's a non-certain thing.) but they're the same settings as Freakyboy proposed, more or less.

The minerals won't be a problem, and the extra growth will /really/ help.
