Changing Gas Giants based minor factions starting position

Ok, so I thought this one was dead born as for long, it just received one upvote, but it lately got a lot of support. Thanks for all the comments. I actually like your suggestion TheTakenKing, but in the end I think that even addidng 1 or 2 slots does not solve the issue: would you prefer starting diplomacy with a minor faction with a population of 7 or one with only 3? Also, I got the actual case during a playthrough with UE, where I was simultaneously doing diplomacy with Epistis and Deuyivan. The system containing the Epistis became one of my major one (before being taken over by AI sophons I underestimated, which basically meant game over for me^^), whereas the Deuyivan one was remaining with a useless 1 population for a long time, before I could start expanding it.

I still think the easiest solution is to put Deuyivan and Eyder at the center of galaxies where they will not be contacted at the beginning of the game. Another solution would be to add the 1-2 slots and allowing the player to colonize the same type of giant gas planet with the same number of slot than the minor faction when assimilated, but I think it would be difficult balancing it to be honest.

So few points missing...
