About your problems with no unique planets present, were you by chance playing with warp points not connected?
I decided to try a game like that, after learning the benefits, and was using my unique tech mod. There is about a 20% chance of any planet being unique. After 50 turns no player, out of 15, had found a unique planet anywhere. This sound like a bug to me.

Did some further testing and it appears to be related to generating a map. I started 10 games as an ancient race. 5 games I generated a map before clicking begin game and 5 games I did not generate a map. Every game I generated the map there were zero special planets. Every game I did not generate the map for I had special planets. Can anyone else confirm this? I am using a heavily modded Version.

Ahhh. All warp points in my game ARE connected, but I believe that I did click 'generate map' before starting the game.
