Not enough power for new bases
Twice now I have not been given near enough power when founding a new base!! My 7th base gave me so little power that I was left with 200M tib and 1.3G crystal!!!!! Guess what? Couldn't upgrade my bas...

7th base gives 1.835G tib, 2.955G crys, 800M power
That is about 6 units of resources for each unit of power
The game uses a 4:1 ratio in most cases (except harvesters and power plants) so 6:1 is a bit unbalanced indeed
But what people usually do is transfer most of the crystal to main base and upgrade main offense, so they have extra unused power left on the new base actually (which could also get destroyed)
It is indeed a pity that your resources got lost, but the amount of resources and the associated risks are 100% predictable (see arsenal), and you can move 40 spots with little risk if you make the first move while your new base is at level 7. Alternatively, you could build up the defense on the new base, which should be able to survive in 1 wave with the amount of resources provided originally.
Do the planning before you drop the base, and then I find it hard to imagine any problems that you can't avoid.
