I like this idea. It sounds like it could be easy to stick pre-space flight races in. just make neutrals that have no colonization tech.

I think that neutrals should get a bouns on their weapons. Like a racial modifier that gives them insane power or extreme range on all the normal weapons with out having to edit the weapons tables.

Give a neutral race a sphere world in the beginning. They researched all the stuff to make planets and made themselves a sphere world and moved into it. Now that would be a tough nut to crack.
