Hi!

You seems sum up what was discussed Smile

I have few notes though:

Other items of interest:
IFE is desirable, somewhat wider hab is always better, cheaper energy is desirable. Having these things usually FEEL good in testbed results.

Well, some of above things only FEEL good, that's right Wink

Some are REALLY good Razz

IFE - costs a lot, so if you have special game setup where cheap prop tech is really good, use it instead of IFE, have Energy normal and no IFE (and gravity narrow instead of temperature). Otherwise, ALWAYS take IFE if universe size is not too small. Without it, you would not be able to carry people effectively. Every extra turn of pop movement would kill some of pop on transport. And also IFE helps a lot to spread out people and build less transport (which you usually have no minerals for). So my opinion is that IFE is almost essential for AR, except few special cases.

Wider hab - there is a point when teraforming becomes ineffective (200 points spending for 1% teraform is not worth of improvement because you get only 8-20 resources improvement, that pays off in 10 years only), so do not take too wide, or if take, consider calculations and micro-menagement to account wide hab range efficiency of teraforming. Also, too wide hab would cause more spread out of planet habitability % (which you can barely improve), and most of planets you would not be able to use effectively. (See discussion about "more planets" for 2-immune AR - the same applies here Wink

).

Cheaper energy - yes and no - depends on the game. STA game probably worth normal Energy. Game where opponents are far from also worth it (enough time to compensate early loses on normal Energy and it's cumulative effect).

NAS ... takes away the nice feature of having all territory and borders covered within free planetary penscanning of Ultras from 2435 or so. That feature has actually quite vital strategy value that people often underestimate. NAS is popular, It is possi
