Quit whining man.
You start with a terrible planet value, and the others start with really good planets, but the only thing they have next to their system is a black hole and you have a lush paradise of nice colonisable planets next to your system.
I'm sure the entire map has some sort of balance, if it is qually divided among the players is another thing.

Edit:
I hope to see some improvement in SE V regarding the planetconditions (climate is horrible or mild, or pleasant...). It really doesn't make any sense to me that my race evolves on a planet with a horrible climte, but only like planets with a pleasant climate.
It should be that the climate for one player is outstanding, but for another terrible. And if that is a bit too much, then all homeworlds should start with at least a pleasant climate.
