Hi!

^What about the research needed for privateers and the FM though? Isn't it going to be a serious setback to your economy early on if you have to postpone factories to research the tech you need to start shifting pop? Just askin', coz I know nothing.

I can say that getting PVT hull and FM was newer a real problem. The trick is to know when you had to start exporting pop, so you just stop building anything and put all resources in research to get the tech at proper time. One turn of crowding isn't a problem, if you need that to get the tech. Despite having a HG econ I often find myself playing those first turns almost as a -f - all resources diverted to research, later on to ships and mines. But once my PVTs start returning from new colonies (or I have enough iron) I swich back to factories. So my race usually starts in lower third, but with careful pop/germ management it climbs quite fast, and around turn 50 it is in or close to the leading pack.

For races with low starting tech the "start at 3" for expensive fields can come handy. A race with "weap cheap rest tech expensive and start at 3 checked" needs only about 550 res to get PVTs, and it already starts with FM. Very useful for HPs with their low starting res output.
My my 2 cents
