Summary0003125: mk IV planets adjacent to homeworld
Descriptionyes, planets

2 of the 3 planets adjacent to my homeworld are mk IV planets. I remember reading that the planets next to the homeworld should be mk I or II at best.

Nope, there is no such rule. The chances of a Mk. IV planet next to a human homeworld are merely reduced, not zero.

Though, is there such a rule for low difficulties? I know that by 7, a Mk. IV planet next to your home is a valid possibility.

This is on difficulty 6, with one random moderate and one random easier AI

Yea, I think even difficulty 6 is allowed to have Mk. IV planets next to your home.
Well, Mk. IV planets that are next to a player home are noticeably weaker than ones elsewhere. Among other things, planets next to the player home are not allowed to get guardians. So the situation isn't quite as bad as it may seem at first.

Even so, Mk IV planets are still pretty easy to take early in the game. It gets tough if they are on alert for too long and start reinforcing with massive amounts of ships. Just make those 2 MK IV planets your priority for now.
