Don't forget that ammo is costly after sorties and this guy doesn't have any lightfleet alternatives for combined. I'd stick with balance so you can correct and focus expeditions on the resource that you are needing the most. If you're low on resources and aren't planning on having leftovers starting with a fairly close baseline for Fuel/Ammo/Steel is preferable. This way you eat into them nearly at the same rate, correct as needed, and can make the most out of the softcap when you reach it. It's annoying when you have 40k fuel and no ammo and if you have 30k ammo and 10k fuel you can always orel and 5/21/38. You'd honestly be suprised how quickly you can gain fuel when you are under softcap. Having 1.5 fuel to ammo is better for longterm stockpiling. What he is needing to do is the stockpile as much as he can and finish in softcap. Short term is better here.
