There are a few givens about AR race design and then there is some wiggle room.

The main givens are you have to take Energy cheap and you can't take OBRM.

Here is a race I took to 55k by 2450 in a testbed:

AR, surface minerals
IFE, NRSE, CE, NAS
Grav immune, -4 to 140 C, 48 to 84 mR, 19%, (1 in 7 worlds)
1/10 pop coefficient
Energy, Con, Weapons cheap, rest expensive, box not checked

I went with grav immune since I have the other terraforming fields cheap and no desire to research propulsion. However, you can flip those two if you want Rad immune.

Things to note:

This race has to deal with lots of small greens compared to a bi-immune race, but the higher growth rate overcomes that problem nicely.

No ARM. I hit my mineral crunch before the ultraminer is available so I build lots of superminers anyway. In a real game hope the alien miner comes along but you can get a fountain going in any case. It will cost 4/mine instead of 2/mine is all.

No ISB. By letting the starbases fill to 50-60% while racing for deathstars, it is possible to not lose too much growth and then building the deathstars is alot easier with all that pop on hand.

CE. People hate CE. I don't. If you don't want it, find the points somewhere to skip it.
