EVERY HP race is possible, the main question is if it is survivable.

The HP's that are the best survivors are usually the ones with a 14+ mine eff with the Germ box checked. Obviously, the higher the better...

This is why a 4% HE is so nasty if you can get it to survive to the late game. At 20+ mine eff, you can devote you entire econ to shipbuilding and not run out of metal for years.

The flipside to this is the +17% HP, 1 in 10-ish single immune. To get proper performance, they sacrifice metal. Using your advantage of early game tech through superior resources means sheer #'s of ships isn't as big a deal. Just the fact that you have a decent fleet, that is higher in tech, usually can get you by. However, if you can't get more minerals by conquest or remote mining, you end up dead quick. You are also more susceptable to random starting planet values.

I usually opt for HG races with a 1 in 4-8 and good factory ramp potential. Bop the min eff as high as I can tolerate, usually 11-12 eff. Getting more planets means more minerals, with less germ dependancy. Makes for a better overall race design, IMO.
