3 W-9 jumps a fully loaded QJ-5 MF needs about 3000mg fuel

You said a lf + sfx, with average load of 1/3 to 1/4 full (I consider that a bit large).

Iztok is right there ... QJ5 MF-s is sad ... it cant fly alone unless almost empty or very short distances. Confused

Sure, marry SFX to existing pair of them and so you have something like QJ5 LF, just avoid building more MF-s if possible because LF costs less than that combo. Nod

Similarily QJ5 Pinta sucks on its own. Its the only way to colonize for AR so no alternatives. SFX is overkill for boosting a Pinta so AR got to have more scout boosters around than you might think at first with experience of other PRT-s.

IMO AR often prefers small loads early, more planets means more mining given same pop to work with.

Yes, you are right. MF-s built in first decade (5-7 of them) are often plenty for fine-duning most of such a tiny quirks. LF is quite OK on its own while MF needs booster for carrying real cargoes to real distances. SFX+MF are worse than LF but cost same, SFX+2MFs are as good as LF but cost significally more and so LF is the backbone of IFE-less AR life, but the MF-s got plenty of work to do. Wink

When you eventually hit Con8 ...

Turn 11 is ok C8 target for AR. Even if AR got IFE (and so it may stick with MF-s longer for spreading more thinly) it still wants iron miniaturization of anything it builds.
It may be different with other PRTs but for AR its all about saving iron, privateer costs more iron than LF so ... no privateer but LF. Who cares that LF got more fuel and cargo space than privateer, think of it as cheaper privateer because it costs less iron. Wink

Less important things like energy 8 or terraforming can wait, who needs resources without iron? So to C8 asap. Wink
