How about: you would be not to do this in the real SEIV Universe but in the SEIV game you do it to get an advantage.

This is astart, but in some cases you have to be able to define what could or could not be done in a hypothetical "SEIV universe". Some things in the game are limitations for game play reasons, not any kind of "laws of the alternate universe" reasons.

Training facilities on moons are one of these. The mines per sector thing is another.

Basically a lot of these are subjective, there is no way around it. "I don't know art, but I know what I like". So the idea of playing with a core group of players you know and are comfortable with is a good idea if these things bother you a lot. Of course that can make it more difficult for new players to get a game, but eventually they will get enough people to give them a chance, and then they can earn a good reputation.
