Bamboo were a -F IS, OBRM, ISB, RS
19% with 1in5 (Right shifted Grav, Rad immune) hab
1/1000 & 10/3/14 mines
WPC cheap, N normal, LB expensive NOT@3

By the end game (2553) I had several planets with over 10M people (78M, 71M, 62M, 44M, 44M, 17M, 13M) to the extent that the planet report can't sort them!
The rest of my 75 planets had a couple of million pop each...
I also had well over 5k super freighters full of pop... Another Billion and a half colonists...

IS orgies can get rather out of control!

The turn before the game ended I acquired the jump gate from the Hush-A-Boom MT (since we'd traded the bomb in the alliance) so was about to pull the orgies back from the front line, and jump people to the front lines where needed. I also acquired the Enigma Pulsar that turn, so a number of ships were to be redesigned as counters.

The Red Buttons were a Big Mutha Cannon based nubian - Two slots of BMC, two of capacitors (IS, so I don't want to overload on weaponry), J30 (so others could build them as well) and the MT MultiFunction Pod helped the TS10 for battle speed. The rest was shields (2) and deflectors(4) - I would recommend dropping one shield slot in favour of deflectors as it turns out.
Elysium Class super freighters were TS10 powered with a single N18 shield (making them mine resistant)
I also made use of APC nubians - Fast move deflector cargo ships with a single sapper weapon and a colo pod. 5k armour, 4k2 Shields, Move 2.5 even loaded with 900kT of colonists.

SklogW AMPi were 6 deflectors, 2 AMP, two shields, one stack of Flux capacitors and the MFP supporting the TS10 for battle speed.

The main enemy threat was night bringers, very similar to the AMPi:
EP driven nubians with 6 deflectors, two AMP and a stack of capacitors (Jammers instead of the MFP and the normal capacitors in place of the HE special)
