In "real stuff" you're looking for roughly the same results, yeah.

In resource numbers, you probably want to halve the numbers (so 12.5k@50 is minimum viable, 25k@50 is pretty good), since a -f has a much greater percentage of "free resources" than a +f.

OK - let's see what I have by 2450 then - I'm past 12.5k at 2444, BBs are this year (I took a break from weapons for fun and profit) - but I might not be getting the higher weapons tech fast enough (unless I stop terraforming at quite the rate I'm doing it - that's probably a good move then - I'll change my default orders (pity changes don't propogate))
