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.

That seems a bit far to go for an IT, that can pop up a colony/gate in increments. You might try throwing up a gate at a red world as step in between.
Otherwise, one thing I like doing if I did't take IFE, is to take cheap con and get to Con8 as quick as possible, and skip the PVT's all together. I have done that with many races. You do end up with a lot of pop on the HW, and some lost breeding time, but it can even out with the cheaper transports (per volume). Lg freights, even with the QJ5 can move lesser than full loads fairly far, with a xport or 2. If you are a -f, you can do it before turn 2410, IIRC. The number 320 ly jumps to my thinking for the furthest I felt I could reasonable go using this strategy. Might be wrong on that, my memory is failing.
