I think it sounds interesting. It would definitely force people to think about what they want their role to be before picking a race. It may also encourage racial balance among alliances. But if you're worried about poor trading options for some races then that can be the 1 neutral ship available.

It might be useful to have a page where potential players can list info like their time zone, experience, typically play strategy (trader/hunter etc) before the draft
