Medium/packed means 540 planets for 9 players only. As far as I understand, you want 60 planets per player in a game for beginners? Are you sure?
The beginners will get boring with the micromanagement for so many planets.
And you don't want to replace drops ? How will you keep enough players 'till the year 120 ?
CA's not banned? Why?
"No pregame alliances" = nice to want, but you can't avoid So, better to forget such announcements.
Last, but not least: what's a "beginner"? First game against humans? Second game ...?
Just for thinking about

Medium packed has always worked fine in my beginners’ games. Never did that calculation though – is interesting to know how many planets per average there are.
My policy is not to replace drops. If somebody drops, it’s usually because they’ve been attacked and they aren’t worth replacing anyway. In certain cases, I may find a replacement if I feel that it is in the best interest of the game -- otherwise my players shouldn’t expect it. I think my games have a very low drop-out rate anyhow.
I didn’t ban CA because I plan this to be a “beginner’s” game. Beginner’s are allowed to play CA too if they want to.
No Pre-game Alliances. Tis a rule, tis all. A girl can hope, can’t she? No, I can’t stop the clever from getting around this, but I’m hoping that all I’ll have to do is state the rule, and I’ll get 9 honest players.
What is a beginner? Good question. Too many answers. I say, if you are a beginner, you’ll know it. I was kinda hoping to avoid putting a label on it and weed out the "non beginners" via email..

I am intrested, but I have a few questions....
Why so long between generations after 2450?
Since I am new to online play, will I be able to look foward to help in game with question about gameplay/stratigy/whatever else is Stars! related while I am apart of it?
I have a race designed, I got the design from the forums here, and I noticed that race help is available.. Can I send in my race to see if it apropriate for this map/game type?
Do I just need to send in my race file to be accpeted for the game?
Thanks for the help, and look forward to joining...

*****Why so long between generations after 2450?
After about 2450, you need more time for your turn. And, should you have allies, expecially on the other side of the world, it takes a little time to get the email back on what the "plan" is - so 48 hours usually is the requested time.
*****Since I am new to online play, will I be able to look forward to help in game with question about gameplay/stratigy/whatever else is Stars! related while I am apart of it?
Yep, we are available to answer your questions. (looks for the mouse in her pocket.. erm...we?... ) Sometimes we won't feel confident giving an answer ourselves, so we use our friends in the Stars! community to help with the answers. Usually not one person, either, so you can form your own conclusion.

Sure.
*****Do I just need to send in my race file to be accpeted for the game?
Yep. Be prepared for a few questions via email too

Your welcome,
