Ouch! -F races should look at 2+ cheap tech, one of them Weapons. Or you risk being contained with Jihad CCs and removed from the game with Jugg BBs.
I'm always testing with these settings:
- Small Dense
- No Random Events, Public Player Scores
- 4 random expert AI
- 1 of: (owns 30%) OR (exceeds score by 40%), at least 40 years
(based on this https://starsautohost.org/sahforum2/index.php?t=msg&th=5 646&start=0&rid=1927)
So the game ends rather quickly with AI.

Expansion will be problematic due to the lack of fuel. It's true the PRT is IT, but with the pop eff 1:2500 it will not be able to put up gates in a decent time. So no fuel and SFX gating to far-flung colonies.
That's one of my main struggles. That, not knowing when is the right time to expand, and how few planets I can expand into early in the game. I played a couple of games with this race and every time I got a HE in the game, I couldn't stop it colonizing that 30% in time...

If I'd redesign the race I'd go with 21 factories operated and put points to mine eff. The HP with OBRM needs more minerals, so I'd try to get mine eff over 10, paying with a bit less pop growth and less mines operated.
Yeah, OBRM was a disaster. I redesigned it to not have OBRM and put IFE... These are the changes to the race:
- IFE, NRSE, LSP, RS
- 15/8/25/3g
- 11/3/23
- All expensive
I still couldn't stop HE, but it certainly got better. Still learning how to play with this style, like when to produce destroyers, or what is the counterplay to spore clouds everywhere, when to build miner ships...

To check race performance, there's the "100 ARM BBs" benchmark test. Please search for it.
