Ok, so after discussing it internally we're going to be removing Advanced Materials Collection from the game so planets will generate RO at their full capacity and everyone have the same access to that RO. This will mean that over all there will be more RO in the system during the early game but that will be balanced by the new planetary control system which will go into the game at the same time.

(in case you missed that thread the basic idea is to reign in the early game land grab somewhat by adding a shipyard equivalent orbital that controls the number of planets you can control. Also, we'll make sure you can abandon a planet when that's added as well. )
