By my math it should take 500k * 6 / 120k = 25 turns. (Cost per project) * (Number of projects) / (Intel points per turn). Still longer than you're seeing, but a lot closer.

Right, hard to believe I'm an engineer sometimes! You are correct. I am still seeing them much faster than I should...

- Re: quickstarting -- are you customizing your race to your playing style? Maybe that makes a better fit?

Haven't explored the various combinations yet. When I play a custom race and let the computer generate races, the AI is very passive and the game is a breeze. When I quickstart with one of the existing races, the AI puts up a decent fight. Not a great one, but I was actually #2 in the scores for a long time
I haven't tried yet a custom race with computer-controlled preexisting races to see how they do.
