Hi!

IS is one of the few races that can easily do without IFE due to their fuel transports)

Yes, they can. But it is VERY expensive. Just try moving 2 QJ-5 PVTs, loaded just to 80% three W-9 jumps far, and you'll see how much fuel you need for that, and how much those supporting 8 FX cost. IMO you better forget that solution with -f race, because they need to move LOTS of pop very early.

BR, Iztok

<shrug> I did it the one time I played a -f IS. I took cheap prop, so was able to get the Alpha drive 8 in the first 9 years, IIRC. However, I didn't use it much more that a few years. Instead, I got the Sub galactic at turn ~12. Got the Trans galactic scoop by turn 15 or 16, IIRC. I did lose some early growth potential, but I think I more than made up for it via more eff motor and less building of supporting ships. With that motor, you can reach out to grab those big breeders, +300ly away, warp 9 both ways. Smile
