Even without IFE you have your PRT fuel boosters very early.

Excellent post, and a cool tactic for an IS player to use.

But without IFE you do have to research prop very fast and very early to get a Ram Scoop engine that will compare to the Fuel Mizer. The Radiating Hydro-Ram Scoop is a killer, literally, and at warp 9 uses fuel at over 400% consumption rate. It is not until the Sub-galactic Fuel Scoop at Prop 8 that you get a fuel consumption curve similar to the Fuel Mizer.

Plus, if you take NRSE to pay for the IFE, then you still wind up with the DD7 as your prime mover engine. It takes a LOT of fuel to allow you to speed that engine up to warp 9.

And the point of the boosters is to get pop moving fast at a time when economic growth is critical, which is early in the game, which means you would really prefer to have the Fuel Mizer. You don't HAVE to, but the Fuel Mizer sure does make your life easier.

But as I have stated before, taking the easy way is just not the cowboy way. Yey

Thanks for your insight.
