As always in race design, you should link your choices to the type of universe and number of players. You need to have close neighbours to do anything useful with this race.
There are always personal preferences, however you should remember that the 5th LRT is always more expensive (and the 6th even more and so forth), so always try to limit yourself to 4. I would dump ISB and CE personnally and pay IFE with NRSE, but that's my choice. ISB is way too expensive. I disagree that space docks are scary. Even the US is not tremendously hard to shot down.
As someone commented, if you take IFE, then use the FM all the way until you really get good engines. The w6 scoop is too slow and fuel hungry to go on long campains.
You should also find some points to improve those mines. With 10/3/8 you will not be able to get enough minerals to build a horde, we are talking of hundreds of ships here. Maybe this Prop Cheap is costing you too much?
The Energy Immune is expensive and I'm not sure to understand why you want this immunity, but with Weapon cheap I would not go Rad immune, since you will get all that terraforming technology quite fast. My point about Energy immune is that since you want to use the BC and the shielding (improved by RS, a good choice), you still need to invest in Energy at least to 10, therefore you will get quite good Temp terraforming technology. If you really want to go 1-immune, drop the Prop -50% and go Grav-immune. The FM is almost all you'll need for a long time.
Only very personal considerations you might want to think about, maybe you are looking for a different race or playstyle which is perfectly fine 
FWIW,

You just made my race look like every other race out there!  heh. Remember I am talking numbers. If I take NRSE I don't get the cheaper and lighter scoop engines. And without CE I'm double the cost of engines of the more expensive engines! The advantage of this combo is how cheap good engines for my BCs become
