Sorry to jump into this old thread, but I'd like to vent my opinion about this.
Of Crusaders races, I'm not overly impressed with the HG design, because I can reach 20k with my 1/1000 18% growth SS with better tech settings. But HG is worth playing for a SS. You won't be as big as a CA or a JoaT, but you do need some economy to fight them, and a good SS can afford take on much bigger enemies.
What I am impressed by, is the -f race. -f compensates for one of the biggest weaknesses of the SS PRT: the planets. When you're -f, you can just abandon your planets and move those people to your other planets, or keep them in cloaked freighters ready for an invasion. SS is very good at attacking, -f is very good at attacking, and a -f SS can afford not to defend.
I've never been able to design a satisfactory -f SS, though, but those Gypsies look really good. 19%, 1 in 5, 1 immunity, good tech settings, and all the right LRTs. Sure, a CA or JoaT -f will be a lot bigger, but this should be playable. Just remember to attack, and to never stop attacking.
