Am I missing something here?

Yeah, they're talking about a 20(40)% HE.

Ohoh... reminds me of the good old days of HE designing Crying or Very Sad

You now, HE for me doesn't stand for Hyper-Expansion. It means High Explosive for blowing stuff... Laughing

, like other races...

In this game ones who grow faster, win. But you must remember that ideal growth rate is never achieved outside 1 turn all 100% jumps between planets. Most, (correct me if I am wrong) races do no achive growth greater than 12% for long. Personally I donno why two immune HE are not popular- they can achieve somewhat greater growth rate because of distances between habbitable planets being much shorter. (I have the formula somewhere).

The important thing is GROWTH=planet value*growth rate
so if you spend those lousy few hundred from factories to growth, you'll sacrifice your total output with pop that is hard to control, plus I don't see how you can reach 30+ growth rate without sacrificing the immunity (I always take it)

IMO the better way to go is to:
I. Take one immunity
II. Adjust your hab so that you have at least TWICE as many planets as any HG (read 1 in 2)
III. Keep the fac- the initial expansion stage is too quick for HE to build them in any significant number i. e. act as if you are an -f. Razz

When things start to get a little crowded, you will have solid mineral base and 'll be able to build all the fac in 5(!) turns.
IV. Having growth rate that is slightly better than the best a normal race is still enough to outgrow 'em. i. e. go for 22-24% growth rate- it'll add up . Cool

If you can do all that, you've just created a race that would roll over any pesky CA. Which is just as well, cause I HATE 'EM
(which is the major reason why I never get 'em orbital adjusters Sad

)

NOTE: if none of this makes any sence, you are not the only one to think that Laughing
