Why ARM? You can GATE ANY miner very early in the game.

Quote:

mines 10/3/10

tech all expensive, start at 3 checked

The race might be looking good in testbeds where you're alone, but 10 mines operated cripple it for PBEM games, and all tech expensive cripples it even more. Its "death spiral" goes so: low mineral output --> much slower fac's building --> lower econ --> slow tech growth --> (+low minerals) --> small number and low tech warships --> prey.

Try doing the standard 100 BB benchmark with your proposed race. I bet you'll have them around turn 80, while most decent races build them around 60.

Regarding immunity: it is for a race that wants to start quickly, and kick someones a.. with that advantage. Big planets help it with its big pop production. With that approach (and a bit of luck) later on that race lives in more space (more good planets), that compensates for less livable planets on average. HPs don't start quickly by default, and they don't need lots of pop, as their pop is good only for operating factories. But with those factories (as Kotk already pointed out) they can make almost ANY planet a production center (even reds give ~200 res) and that's what makes them strong in late game. Early on they are prey, with an immunity even bigger.
