Is your question about IFE in general or IFE and IT?

Playing IT I might not even take IFE in some (most) cases. You can gate your fuel. For deepspace travel I'd research con6 (IT starts at con5) and build QJ5 privs and QJ5 FF boosters. Fuel usage at warp9 is bad with both engines, so better save a few resources/minerals and use those to build an extra booster.

Like neilhoward says: peel off the boosters, and send them back to refuel for the next trip (solo they don't use much for a warp9 jump).

Not being IT you can use scout boosters at the start (or even when IT you can do that if con6 is too long to go). DDs are an option as well and the low extra bor cost for the lasers might be worth it in a few occasions ...

I am asking about IFE and IT for beginning years when you have to travel like 4 or 5 years at warp 9 in a small universe or bigger.
I wanted to know the guts of making boosters to get me there.
So from what I gather from what you and the other guys say is to use Qj5 scouts with fuel pods because its lighter and cheaper then the bigger engines that will make you use more fuel in the long run.
But shouldn't I make ddl7 privateers at the start and put them with Qj5 booster scouts? Or should they both be Qj5 engines?

Ill try to peel off scout boosters like Neilhoward said. Sounds like a good plan so those boosters aren't sucking up more fuel after they have did there purpose.

Now I have the basic idea thanks.
