There is a setting that disallows advanced empires to spawn as direct neighbors, maybe that should also apply to MSI.
Currently in a game where MSI is literally the only direct neighbor I have. The other direction is wide open and I found 4 gaia worlds there (literally a quarter of the habitables I've found so far is uninhabited gaia worlds) Let's just say I am a bit miffed that the fate of this awesome start depends entirely on the whims of my neighbor.
