Would it be considered powergaming or metagaming by meeting every other race out in the void when they first come into play? Because obviously one has to meet one race, at the minimum, for the roleplay to have meaning, but it's kinda like riding a horse on rocky terrain and hitting practice targets with a longbow every time at varying distances, from ten meters to a hundred. 

It irks me, and not just because you, duck, is doing so. 

The Convergence has only made contact with one race
The Hivemind has made contact with one race
The Merfolk has yet to make real contact with anyone
The Iscandies have made some form of contact to all but the Convergence, and full contact with the Humans, the Sazas, etc
The Valk have made contact with the Convergence, the Hivemind, the Nouvellians, and very basic oh-my-god-who-is-that with the Humans and the Iscandies
The Nouvellians have had contact made by the Humans and the Valk, and duck will shortly be added
The Sazas have made contact with the Iscandarians and the Humans [I think]
Who else?

Hey! I technically have around a thousand ships I can muster! it's just that only two of those are FTL capable, and only about 200 are equipped with military-grade weaponry.

Could they go against more than a dozen ships that are all heavily, heavily armored, all are FTL-capable, all are able to see everything in the immediate area around them, and with a powerful, though small, selection of weapons among them all? Not including their superweapon. They could all simply fire, FTL a very short distance, say around your ships, fire, and then do so again and again, moving so that you'd have to constantly readjust weapons, ship angles, targeting systems, and making up for all damages?

They don't have a uniform military; they all act more or less on their own. Command says "Kill them! They pose threat, we must eliminate!" and they all kinda go, "Yea, we're gonna go here, you say you're going there, ok let's go. Make sure not to hit each other." 

Then they all just kinda go their own way, an individual pattern to each.

But ramming my ships would do more harm to yours than mine. While I could just disengage inertial dampeners, and just get a push and a few scratches, dents, and maybe a crater or two, you'd have the front of your ship smashed up and unable to do anything, and you'd be right next to a ship that will just spam you with missiles that penetrate, widen, penetrate some more, widen that again, until everything is scrap.
