You have export 33% more people and you can produce 33% more minerals AND you can mine 33% more. (change 33% to 20% if the other race has ORBM).

Sorry but I doubt this is correct.
First, you do not produce minerals, like you produce resources. The mineral content of a planet with a given mineral concentration is consistent for every race. A race with a higher mining efficeny will be able to extract more minerals from the rocks than one with a lower mining efficency, while both deplete the concentration at the same speed. Thus, being Joat won't help you anything to get more minerals out of the rock - only increasing your mining efficency does.
The second issue is speed. A Joat building up his full 20% surplus of mines (keep in mind these cost some time and resources to be buildt, too) will be able to suck out a planets mineral content faster, than another PRT using the same mining efficeny. Thus, being Joat helps with mining speed, once you have overcome the costs and time for building these additional mines.

Which is great!!! BUT more importantly your JOAT race can have 5 planets to every 6 of theirs and still compete (or then can have 6 planets to every 8 of your oponent).
|
There's another OBRM related issue: you can renounce OBRM keeping remotes for the endgame and still beat others in popgrowth and maximum numbers of factories/mines, even if they *do* select OBRM! Ofc with OBRM giving points in the RW (what it certainly shouldn't) that doesn't sound too attractive, but in the late game being able to strip a planets minerals in a few turns might win you a game. Mind you, others keeping that option will have a 20% deficit in factories/mines vs your Joat, and the difference in (pop)growth will be a lot more.

Come to think of it CA is probably the best beginner race.

To a certain extent, IT should be very attractive for beginners. The ability to gate c
