Both of your responses are full of holes.
@EW: You DON'T have to spread out over more territory. That's exactly the point. Tri-imm more than makes up for half planet size in res/space. Hence you have a more compact empire, not more spread out. Unless you grow more and take other people's space, which isn't exactly bad.
@Xardre: But you DON'T need 40+ years to ramp up.  Play this and tell me it's slow:
HE
ISB, NRSE, OBRM, NAS, RS
3i, 6%
1/1000
13/8/20/3g
13/3/18
Weap, con cheap
That's what you get if you go for pure econ. Even that's not as harsh on tech and LRTs as your average HG, but will almost certainly breach 40k if not 50k by 2450. Plus you can intersettle with anyone and can trade con tech and minerals for planets and gate use.
Also, your race has a couple of problems. Foremost in my mind is your crap growth. Triimmunes can get away easily with low growth because everything's 100%. Biimmunes can, too, to a lesser extent, because their average lived-on hab is something ridiculous like 80-85%. But a one-immune won't do much better than 60% average hab, so you'll be lucky to get 9% achieved growth, which dumps you well under the HG races. Also, your mines suck compared to your factories, which will prevent you from building much with all those wonderful resources, and last, prop expensive with no NRSE hurts. A lot.
I will admit that your average HG TT CA will eat, swallow, digest, and poop out most 3i HEs, but... that's an HG TT CA.
