IFE means I start at prop6 (Good for the any/300 gate and jihads) and require no Prop research for a LONG time. It also provides the FM for all my early ships and fast remote shipping. NRSE pays for it, and with the FM/SFX/AMG, wide hab and gates I can afford to snub scoops in the game.
ISB makes gates *very* cheap, and provides small ship building capability across the whole empire (of relatively small early planets), the refuelling at border gates is somewhat useful too, but SFX MM could mitigate.
OBRM gives me slightly bigger planets and I've never really got on with RM, besides I have a decent habitability rate and rad tolerance designed for an inter-settling alliance.
NAS + L start @3 gives excellent early scanning in a small universe and 30 RW points, as well as putting mine-layers only one expensive tech level away. Gate scanners and scouts littered across the galaxy will have to suffice for orbits later in the game unless I can trade for pen scanners.

Plan:
GROW, gate pop/minerals to the expansion front lines to expand (rapidly building gates) far and fast (in spokes) then in fill.
Occupy space and use docks to build decent, early, war fleets and the gates to concentrate force in order to expand further and protect the borders. Yellows are fairly easy to bring up to force.
Cheap techs to allow the smaller economy to keep up and field effective fleets early. Also to get to important technology levels (e.g. SFX to allow gate healing (seems generally permitted in games)) early.
Build a handful of mines each year on each planet, and a little TF*. Mines don't compound, so I don't need them all up front, but TF directly affects my resources.

Research plan:
C8 (SFX+LF) for expansion (and to get close to CC & any/300) (within 10-12 years).
B4 (Mine-layers) for defence
W10*, C9, W12, C10.
Then W, but at some point (maybe at juggernauts?) run to C13 for BB (getting the US
