I think velvetthroat has it here.

Pop in orgies isn't *doing* anything
Making orgies costs resources
Orgies are cheaper to make if you have higher con (LF / SF)

So... Orgies are a liabilty to an IS race, until they mature. To increase my chances of survival until they mature I can do three things. I can make them resource cheaper (cheap con); I can make them population cheaper (higher growth means I can spare more pop, and they generate a return faster); or I can not make them at all.

The third option feels a bit anti-thematic for IS, so I reject it.

Orgies are so expensive and provide such a massive return, that I would try to do both. Con cheap and high growth.

If I'm taking 2 cheap or better, then I'll definately take con cheap. I vaguely remember seeing someone play a IS race with con cheap and weapons normal, even (expecting to trade con to buy his weap... risky.)
