How can I setup to play as a non-Federation empire whilst keeping computer bonuses/racial points highest with my player empire lowest? And everyone where they're supposed to be...I set a game to high number ofcomputer players with random & neutral empires and everyone ended up in weird places.

I assume I can do so by adding each empire individually in the order listed in the map readmes, and selecting the computer controlled option in the Empire Setup...that would just take longer than I would like.

What is the ship used for the Federation Destroyer icon? I figured out the rest, but can't recognize the Destroyer.

Also, have you (Atrocities or Captain Kwok) looked at the Spacdock rules? They're not canon but fairly consistent, and more detailed than something like Starfleet Command.
