What do HP, HG, -f actually mean?

Those are referred to as the 'basic' economymodels (page 5 of the custom race wizard):
HP = Hyperproducer: 1/2500 popeff., but factories at least something like 15/8/21. Ramps up quite (well, very) slow, but the maximumoutput per planet in resources is higher. Don't forget the checkbox Wink

HG = Hypergrowth: 1/1000 popeff, 'standard' factories (12/9/16 is best, but could be less effecient). Ramps up pretty fast, less resources on each planet.
-f = factorlyless: popeff. is best kept at 1/1000, but if they think they can afford it, people sometimes take 1/900 (or even better?). Factories at 5/25/5, you don't build any!
This is compensated by the great habs (1i is probably best) and some great tech (3.5 cheap), which you both can afford due to the lack of points you spend on your factorysettings. Strong starter, bit weak in the midgame (try build a BB Wink

).
1WW (OWW) = 1 world wonder. Great factories, great everything really. Except all habs are at their narrowest (and mostly on the right edge). You don't see these too often (maybe some tiny universe for fun). Observer races also have these settings most of the time.
QS = Quick start. Great facs and research. Bit low on the habs, made up by speed in the beginning of a game. sometimes referred to as a hybrid IIRC (a bit HG, a bit HP),
