Looks like SD is the best option for the IFE not NRSE combo, in particular because 1-you have some extra points, 2-you need to compete at the beginning with fast start economic monsters and 3-later on you have so many ships in space and all the dodging thing with the layers that you need to have complete fuel autonomy.

I think IFE and NOT NRSE has a wider application than this. First off, NRSE does not provide that many points. It seems to provide 53 when you have 4 or less LRTs. First candidate for not checking NRSC is the race who has selected many LRTs. I know most people advocate against this. But certain ideas require certain LRTs to pull off. Once you hit 5 LRTs, suddenly the point boost for NRSC is even more minimal.

Yes, and I would add that my remark was only valid PRT wise. The most important factor amongst all IMHO is the universe definition, as Stalwart underlined very well in this thread. You don't want those high tech ramscoops in a tiny or small because the game will be over before getting them Rolling Eyes

More a rule of thumb that a strict law, of course. And the fuel mizer is a ramscoop too Smug

Now the argument on the race points, the cost of NRSE itself is a bit larger than that: it's not only the cost of NRSE (you did make a point about the number of LRTs), it's the cost of Propulsion research as well. If you go NRSE you probably will take it expensive and you won't research beyond 12 (probably). It also helps you to choose Grav immune. So there is no black and white answer to that question, it's a question of universe size, race design and personal tastes. I'm much more convinced now after all that discussion that ramscoops are quite interesting and not so difficult to get. I was one of those IFE+NRSE fans and now I have discovered that Stars! has other facets that I still would have to discover if I would continue playing. This game is rich and after reading the reviews on MOO3 I won't change my point of view for some time yet Laughing

Cheers,

YucaF
