I am new to Stars and so I apologize if I am treading already trodden ground. However, I am having difficulty deciding between an SS race based upon hyper producer or hyper growth.
With hyper producer the race starts out slowly and weakly and so any conflict must be avoided if you want to survive. The main bonuses for SS arrive in the mid game with the highest tech gadget being the Robber Baron Scanner (but is this really a game changing gadget?) Also, SS are an offensive race and need to attack to succeed so this means that they would do better if they start their offensives in the mid game where their advantages are greatest but involves being very weak at the beginning.
For the side of the hyper growth (ie 1/1000 pop efficiency and reasonable factory settings) they start a lot stronger and are able to use their stealth advantage against low electronics tech opponents early on in the game. This hyper growth strength also continues all the way up to the late game (spanning SS strongest period) at which time their advantages are not as useful. (people have higher elec tech, research bonuses not as helpful).
Given these arguements and those of your own is it better to have HP or HG for an SS race?
Thank you for your time.
