Cheap Engines
Most people hate them - I have hardly ever used them.
Advantages - some points AND engines cost 1/2 as much.
Disadvantage - every ship (or stack) has a 10% chance of not moving.

What does this mean? Well your initial expansion will be about 10% slower.
Each colony you colonise is likely to take 1 year more than you hope
(ie a 3 years at W9 will take you 4 years).

Transport of pop and minerals will also be slower than you wish
(OK here the IT doesnt have a problem - which is why CE is more forgiving for IT).

Fighting on the offensive - you can never be sure it will attack the turn you want!
And your advance is likely to be 10% slower - as now and again your big fleet will not move.

Possibly would suit a HP style IT - pop taking longer in transit would not be such a problem as they contribute much less.
Also as HP you would be slow and would end up defending
Cheaper engines = more ships and as they gate in they wont need the engines.
However HP have lots of points AND making a IT HP is just a shame.
