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.

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. Wink

I think there is some confusion on what I need boosters for, maybe I left out some details. I'm talking about like year 10-20 or so when I am sending out my first ships for a planet before I have any gates up.

I know that I can get gates up in one or two years of colonizing but I still need the boosters to get the Privs to the planet in the first place in 3 turns instead of like 9 turns going warp 6 without fuel boosters. I think that sho ...
