A question regarding not having the fuel mizer: As the point of boosters is to keep your fleets moving as close to warp 9 as possible, do you keep using the QJ5 engine for a while because it's cheap and gets about the same fuel usage at warp 9 until the trans-galactic drive? Or do you perfer to use the most current engines to get the better efficiency at lower warps when convenient (like moving empty freighters)?

The QJ5 can be made to play good enough with heavy MM. You should go warp 7 most of the time (49ly steps), only one burst make at higher warps if you got fuel for that. For example if you got to fly 178 ly to go you go 49+49+80 ly warp 7 warp 7 and warp 9 (probably taking the warp 9 section first and returning to base with the boosters). The 64+64+50 (warp 8 all the road)will take lot more fuel.

DLL7 is good at warp 7. At warp 9 it is not better than QJ5. But it can carry lot of cargo at warp 7 so you can use 1 cargo pod instead of fuel pod at privateer and not to worry about boosters... just go warp 7.

Radioactive Ram is first almost warp 9 capable engine but you need prop 6 and odd radiation hab or radiation immunity for carrying your with pop that.

Generally without fuel mizer you are in trouble with your expansion program. IT or HE can live without it rest of races have to take ISB for cheaper planet-hopping or research propulsion rather quick.
