I'm running a testbed at the moment (for something else), and I thought the following result might be interesting:

Standard 25k@2450 testbed (small packed, max minerals, AccBBS, no random events)

HE
NRSE, OBRM
3i 6(12)%
1/1000
15/8/21 3g
10/3/23
Weap cheap rest expensive (start at 0)

got 46k @ 2450 on the score screen. I might have gotten a smidgen more had I continued expansion, but I wanted a fully duplicable result (as I said, I'm actually testbedding something else; I'm using a 3i specifically because hab draw doesn't confound results) and as such only did 3 1/2 waves of colonisation (to 60 planets). There's also a bit of pop in orbit, as my 12 core worlds are at 50% resource-integral hold; with that dropped it'd be 47.8k.

Not too bad, IMO, for a playable race (penscans, decent mines if perhaps not exceptional).

Random lessons I've learned during this:

- Sending to multiple worlds helps your achieved growth rate, because more of your pop at any given time is on planets under 25% of cap that aren't exporting pop. I first sent three colonies two years away, then colonised two planets one year away from each of those (making 12 total), then went to two neighbours from each of those (making 36 total). Obviously, that might be a bit difficult in a less dense universe; I'd consider running the second wave two years as well in a normal. As I said, I then attenuated the fourth wave and only went to 24 more for 60 total (going to one neighbour from each of the most recent colonies); I'd have gone to more if I were playing seriously, but I wanted 60 worlds and an exactly-duplicable result for my testbed (which isn't anywhere near finished yet; I'll be playing 'till 2700). Indeed, I first planned to do the test in a tiny packed, but I realised the random starting position (starting too far to one side) would confound the results.

- If any race can make -IFE -ISB +NRSE work, it's the tri-immune HE. Mini-colonisers with the Settler's Delight are simply amazing. Not only do they get decent fuel ...
