This meens that they will have a huge head start on you for everything. They will have the industry, research labs, and research points that a npr of their size would normally have. As npr start size is based on your start size this will give them a lot (five times) as many labs which also will also give them a greater research capacity than yours, plus they will have quite a few research points to spend that you don't have. It usually takes me at least 40 years to catch up with the original npr when I do a conventional start.
