Combine the Different and radical? Might be a short game. Feel free to counter offer a setup.

Three Good Planets
Manual placement on mostly opposite sides of the map.
No Intel
No Mines
No Point Defense weapons (might be better to use limited PD to level one rather than to band it completely?)
2000 racial points
must take at least one racial trait of Psychic, Religious, Organic, Temporal and/or Crystallization.
Starting Tech Level Medium (So that it will be a viable option to start researching racial tech)
Tech Cost High
Warp Points anywhere.


SJ:
It seem to me that no PD would chew through the ships. Primary weapons would be missiles and then fighters. Once fighters come out there would be a shift to add beam weapons. Beam weapons might be more effect than missiles when the ships start close to each other.
