Some issues regarding the map...I think there is a marked lack of shipyards on the Weave side. Mainly, I'm on my side of the galaxy and have 1 shipyard, in Nemasaar. Should that system be captured, I'd have no way to produce any further ships. I really think my capital, and the major world of Sirgil (which has a station and a planet) should have shipyards as well. I guess you are not basing it on whether actual systems in the game have shipyards or not, since most of the systems do. I think that the bottom right portion of the map needs a shipyard for the rebels as well, since they have the distinction of being spread out over the map. If the lack of shipyards can't be changed, I really hope that the story progresses very slowly, and I urge for a rule regarding that; There had better not be quick takings of systems resulting in a lot of chaos.**
I based my placement of shipyards not on which systems had shipyards, almost every system does, but which systems were said to have a large industrial base. I also took into account that the Terrans are said repeatedly to have a much greater industrial machine than the Weave. The Calan are shown in the plug to have a very undeveloped industrial base compared to the other races so I think giving them more than one shipyard wouldn't fit with the plug. As for the progress rule, yes I think that is a very good idea and I think I will put one on the rules page before the story starts. Since there is a huge difference in the number of players between the Empire and the Weave I don't think it would be fair to use the BFS III rule of two systems per player, per page.
Here is what I propose:
The Empire and the Weave can each capture 4 systems per page, while the individual Pirate factions can only capture 3 systems because of their inferior organization. You can't save up your captures from one page to another, use them within the page or lose them. Also Liberations of systems taken from you within the last half page or so do not count as one of your alloted captures.

< looks at Guiron, one of the most major shipbuilding systems in EV, and looks around him>
As for Gurion I looked at it in Empire: A War Without End just a few minutes ago, and it dosn't have the shipbuilding facilities that you say it has in the origional EV.
