Hi,

"pick your preferred race" in an automatic way would need some extra code, but handling it manually will not kill me.

An idea I have been tossing around would be to have, like, five Federations pitted at each other. Or five Lizards. This would also solve potential fairness issues, Robot-vs-Colony probably is totally different than Robot-vs-Pirate or Robot-vs-Tholian.

Regarding ranking system: a smaller game gets your fewer points (the Position_points = Table_value * (Num_players / 11) part), but otherwise, a game's ranking can be scaled up or down using the difficulty rating. But let's not overdo THAT detail. I'll not be handing out trophies for the first to reach 100k points or so.
