Oh, and why was the following clause put in the rules? Seems a bit ristrictive (in relation to government organization).
"(fleets cannot be controlled by) someone else that can write better"**
As it happens I worked out the initial income of all the factions late last night.
Initial Fleet Allowances:
Terran Star Empire: $300M
Weave Alliance: $100M (Total $320M)
Brox: $55M
Hunn'sta: $45M
Calan: $55M
Sauridians: $65M
Each Pirate Faction: $180M
As you can see the Weave Alliance has a small advantage over the Terrans in the number of ships it can field at the begining. This is offset however by the System Tax Income:
System Tax Income:
Terran Star Empire: $390M
Weave Alliance (combined): $350M
Pirate Confederacy: $40M
Other Pirates: $60M
Since I don't have the map out yet I'll pretty much give you the breakdown on how the income got the way it is.
System Breakdown:
Terran Star Empire: 24 Systems (6 Core, 17 Colony, 1 Capitol: Sol=100M)
Weave Alliance (combined): 29 Systems (5 Capitol, 1 Core, 23 Colony)
Pirate Confederacy: 2 Systems (1 Capitol, 1 Core)
Other Pirates: 3 Systems (1 Capitol, 2 Core)
