What should happen is the custom gamestarts both budgeted and unbudgeted should have options for xenon and khaak etc in terms of their difficulty.
How long is your game so far?
Are you playing unmodified?
I play unmodified, current game is custom start, I only have the PHQ with an attached fully self sustained ship production.
Current play time is 31 days and 13 hours (only 3 days 16 hours in control of a ship )
I am now at around 10 traders and 10 miners, all L sized.
I started with ~5 L miners/traders and tried to build my reputation to +27 for all factions.
I am thinking that helped factions in the begging to establish a good foothold but that's just my theory.
I wonder if you did a lot of trading as well.
