Interesting plan with the manual NPR generation. I feel like it might get tedious having to create an entire alien empire every time you roll a new race, but if you're playing fairly slowly after the initial early TN tech rush stages it shouldn't be too much of a drag. I do personally like the feeling of generating the first NPR or two on system discovery, mainly if you do that fairly early before you're managed to build a major tech lead they will have something of a RP and BP advantage over you due to how the starting spawn is handled. Probably not the best idea in a conventional start, though...
With 4b pop I'd expect things to move fairly quickly usually, but you're not starting with a lot of facilities so that will be interesting. Hopefully the slow research doesn't drag you down too hard with so few labs!
