Dragonlord, I have no idea why it is implemented that way. It's not consequent with how cargo is handled so I don't understand it.
As for your start in your game, yes it is good. Two breathable planets aint all that usual and if they are both medium or above in size count yourself lucky. And if I am correct in assuming you only have one warp point leading our of your homesystem then it sounds to me like you have a really good starting position. Good luck.
