Have you ever called anyone a scurvy dog?

Geo:

Oops, yeah. You're a normal race, so it will be relatively stock-like for you.

Important things to note:
- As a normal, you cannot win the game. Us normals are merely here to be victims and feed the pirates. Don't favour any pirate, try not to leave your stuff totally undefended, but don't overdefend either.
Note: To me, this means no self-destruct devices. I do add an extra crew quarters or two on some warships for protection though.
- Supplies are finite. You should have a number of supply-producing space stations orbiting your homeworld which you can fleet with to resupply your ships.
- QNP. Good stuff.
- Its P&N... that means weapons and defenses are rebalanced. Don't take any component stats for granted.
