How about ...
1 nitrah
2 floater
3 darth star
4 hank
5 lqdtr
6 loucipher
7 kicks
8 little Eddie
... since I've played against humans before ...
Which moves floater up one more spot.

I volunteer to choose last. I am probably right there with LittleEddie when it comes to experience in games vs. human players, but I wouldn't let Eddie choose last just because I think we're both equally experienced.
So, here's new proposed line-up:
1 nitrah
2 Floater
3 DarthStar
4 Hank
5 Lqdtr
6 kicks
7 LittleEddie
8 Loucipher

I can check races. If my offer is accepted, please send them via PM and add 2-3 senetences about your intentions with that race, so I see you understand your choices (or mistakes )
BR, Iztok
I have played against players before. 20 years ago, poorly, and I have a match I'm in now that I'm also doing poorly, but only half of that is a flawed racial build. The game would have been completely different if I didn't have to go 3 turns at warp 9 to reach the first planet that didn't want to kill my population, and that one had a Germ concentration of 5% for a race with 25 factories per 10k, a homeworld with 30% Germ conc, and no IFE.
I'll relinquish first pick to floater, and will send Iztok a PM with my first and second picks.

If all players make their choice in public, I don't think there should be any problem about knowing the other players' PRTs. In fact, I think it's more fair this way (otherwise player 2 would know what player 1 chose, player 3 would know what player 1 and 2 chose, and so on, based only on already selected PRTs).
That said, I do recommend that the player numbers be swapped around. If we keep player numbers the same as the line-up sequence, finding a player with a certain number would immediately give his PRT away. With numbers mixed up, finding a player's PRT would require some more work. Since there are a lot of new players and a few rusty veterans in this game, a rehearsal of "how to determine your neighbour's PRT" topic would be good to us all.

If players make their choice public, it will progress far more quickly too.
Once nitrah has declared a choice, I can and so on ...

Kick,
I suggest that you contact dlrichert and Fabrice and see if they're still interested. Don't forget to let them know there are only two PRTs left to choose from.
If either one joins (or both), then I suggest the universe size be changed to Large. Other parameters need not be changed.
So, the current line-up looks like this:
Player 1 Floater - IT
Player 2 nitrah - IS
Player 3 DarthStar - SS
Player 4 Hank - WM
Player 5 Lqdtr - JoaT
Player 6 kicks - PP (?)
Player 7 LittleEddie - SD
Player 8 Loucipher - AR
Player 9 (vacat) - HE
Player 10 (vacat) - CA
Let's give the new players time till Monday if they want to join, and start sending races for verification. Iztok, is your offer of race checking still up?

IIRC, large dense would mean about 60 planets each for 10 players. Going to normal or sparse to get similar planet numbers to that advertised changes the game dynamics we've been play testing. But other than that, it is just getting too big and unwieldy. I'd prefer to keep to the advertised set up.
EDIT: I believe kicks took HE giving us:-
Player 1 Floater - IT
Player 2 nitrah - IS
Player 3 DarthStar - SS
Player 4 Hank - WM
Player 5 Lqdtr - JoaT
Player 6 kicks - HE
Player 7 LittleEddie - SD
Player 8 Loucipher - AR
Leaving PP and CA
DarthStar.
