My question is, just how important is it to have those Warp 10 engines, and does it outweigh the advantage of having vastly superior vessels in the late game? The Galaxy Scoop uses almost no fuel at warp 10.
I suppose this depends on the game situation. If you get involved in heavy combat early on, then you're going to want that better battle speed afforded by having Warp 10 engines, but if you can keep it down to skirmishes, are faced only with less powerful empires, or manage to set yourself up in a peaceful environment long enough to hit Prop 16, then boom, you've got the edge for the rest of the game versus anyone who took NRSE in terms of ship cost economy, and in fleet manuvers. Not to mention the trade potential in being (most likely) the only race in the game who can build ships equipped with the Galaxy Scoop, a godsend for scouts and transports, as well as combat ships.
This also changes based on map settings. On a larger map, I can see that having warp 10 capable ships early might afford a noticeable advantage in terms of early expansion rates, but it's not so important on smaller maps with dense star clusters. On the flip side, the larger maps give you the time to build up more tech levels before things start to get crowded, and you would tend to find yourself with a much larger economic base for all that extra research.
It also depends on your allies. Tech trading could help you a great deal in keeping up in the weapons race while you build your prop up.
I'm not a very experienced Stars! player yet, but I'm just trying to look at it from every angle.
