Custom Star Systems

sounds like it needs some tweaking

Yes in Beta1 they would be all spread out but there would be one star with no AI other than pirates. Don't know which is worse.

I kinda like the randomness to system layouts.

Planets should be randomly spread across the stars, but people shouldn't be starting all in the same star, like just happened in my game.

i agree i just did two stars and three ais and everyone started in the same system

I seem to be encountering this a lot, doesn't really help when you get visited so early on, and you don't have much resources to fight them off, so the generator does need a fair bit of tweaking, to allow the factions to be spread out more, that too will help a lot early game, before you prepare for WAR!!!

yes the ai is always in you start system they should be spread out

Its still a Beta

yeah but better to report these things so that they can be worked out

Seems that the galaxy generator is still set to encourage early conflict (so not a bug so much as the values didn't get adjusted from beta 1).

It is for testing purpose right since I understand early conflict is understandable if you want to test out the gameplay without waiting for ages.


But when the game finalized then yeah, I hope it's more spread out or at least optional. I started a 4 Galaxy /40 planets each last night with 5 other AIs, and half of us is not only in the same system but right next to each other. Plus right now the AIs is not very agreesive (even on hard) about expanding, especially to the other system, so if I hammer the planets from them at the start they'll be death for the rest of the game. It makes me thing that right now with this set up I'll be the only one doing the expansion to the other stars.

Yes but early conflict has nothing to do with only having one planet at one star in a 4 star 60 planet game.
