Thanks for the input. I'm not sure how 'valuing governance' is expected to effect the resource placement, but I'd be down for changes. I do think it would be beneficial to give more of the initial universe resource control to the players. I have played far too many games where there is an overabundance of some resources while others are virtually, or even literally, absent. It is frustrating that there is no ability to control for both of those problems.
